Ultra Glide

deeper. wider. the ultimate hollow-body.

The Ultra Glide takes the classic Glide shape but increases the body width from 13 1/2 to 15” and the depth to 2”. It features a carved top and back with bent sides. It’s a hollow body that features unique bracing system to maximize its voice and and minimize potential for feedback. It has been a long pursuit at Koll to find that perfect combination of power, projection, articulation, warmth and clarity. The Ultra is the closest we’ve come.
