2016 Koll Super Glide Almighty "Silver Sparkle"
2016 Koll Super Glide Almighty "Silver Sparkle"
One of the most iconic build styles that Saul has crafted is the silver sparkle Super Glide Almighty. An homage of sorts to the Gretsch Silver Jet, Saul has built a handful of these over the years, including his main personal guitar.
This 2016 "Sparkle Glide" features a chambered mahogany body with carved maple top, mahogany neck, ebony fretboard. It's got two TV Jones T-Armond pickups, an Embie-matic Melita style bridge, and a Bigsby B-3. The back, sides and neck are all finished in red nitro with fine silver sparkle mixed in.
It's in near-mint condition, with the protective covers still on the back control plates, and plays like a dream. This is a guitar we wish we could just keep around the shop for a while! Only 7lbs 6oz. Ships with its original G&G Deluxe hardshell case, with all case candy.
