Guitars

This rare 1975 Guild Artist Award guitar was owned by the legendary Dean Markley.  He bought it as part of the inventory of the guitar store he owned at the time. When he closed the store, he still had it.  It is new, old stock and has never been sold or even played. I think it's a fair bet to say that there would be no other blond Guild Artist Award in this condition. 

The Artist Award is Guild's flagship jazz guitar. This fine instrument sports appointments seen only on ultra-deluxe instruments of the 30's and 40's such as nine plies of binding on both the body and the peghead. Even the f-holes are triple bound!

This hand crafted giant Odyssey guitar was built by Attila Balogh along with Ken Lindemere and Joseph Sallay as a promo device for the fledgling Odyssey Company, for display at Iron Music in Vancouver and at trade shows. The build required a total of 500 man hours over a 6 month period. Odyssey was a Vancouver, BC based company and was in business between 1977 to 1982. It is a 400 pound, solid brass instrument and measures 9' X 7' X 3'6". This is a unique, one of a kind giant guitar, which is actually playable!

Each BelAir delivers the stage-ready marriage of hand-assembly and top-of-the-line components players expect from AXL USA. For the BelAir, they’ve mined the vintage vein by assembling it with a single TV Jones Power 'Tron pickup and USA B5 Bigsby vibrato. Combine those with other under-the-hood components like TonePros Kluson tuners, CTS pots, Orange Drop Capacitor and Switchcraft jack. The TonePros locking roller TOM bridge and GraphTech Tusq XL nut deliver spot-on intonation and singing sustain even after stretching the Bigsby to its swampy limits.
