Electric Solid Body Guitars

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.
