The Glide series of electric guitars is an original design that is new yet familiar. It is modern classic. We offer the glide in a variety of configurations with many pickup, binding, trim options. common features include set necks, 12"-14" radius figerboards, and 1 11/16" nut. The Superglide Almightly is the flagship, the top of the line with every conceivable feature including a handcarved top. The DuoGlide is almost as fancy, but features a flat top. The JR Glide is a stripped down single pick up dragster with no frills. The Spectroglide is the 12 string glide guitar and is usually set up in Duo trim. All glide guitars share the same outline and headstock. The difficult decision is which model to choose!
Though technically not a Glide series guitar, our Koll Superior guitars are listed here as well. current models set neck 24.625"scale but newer ones will feature bolt on 25.5"scale maple necks on Alder bodies. |

TORNADO | $3500.00
Introducing the TORNADO.
It started out as a two pickup JR Glide for David Torn and through much reworking morphed into a superbly versatile and comfortable tone machine.
The body outline is the familiar and classic Glide shape. We add arm contouring and a tummy cut so that is melds into your body. The neck is hand carved to an incredibly comfy slim C shape. It measures approximately .8" at the 1st fret and tapers gradually to about .9 at the 12th. The edges of the fingerboard are gently rolled to relieve any sharp edges. This gives it a wonderful "played-in" feel from the start.
The 17 fret body join and tapered heel provide excellent access to the upper frets of the set neck. The neck is hand fit into the body using a precision cut mortise for maximum gluing surface.
The headstock is a departure from the other Glides. The goal was to have as straight a string pull as possible. We did this while retaining a taste of the classic Glide headstock shape. This is the new classic!( now available by request on other models.)
The guitar is finished in nitrocellulose lacquer in a variety of colors.
Standard tuners are locking Sperzels. (LSR's are a popular option.)
The Hipshot Contour vibrato is standard. It is simply the finest tremolo on the market. The pivot points are hardened steel rods that ride in matching posts for ultra smooth action that will last indefinitely. For maximum travel, a tapered recess is cut into the body behind the bridge. To complete the package a self lubricating delrin nut is custom fit to each guitar.
For pickups, we use the finest Lollar P-90's, made just up north from us on Vashon Island.
Standard woods are light mahogany body and neck, with Madagascar rosewood fingerboard. Other woods are available.
