The Koll Super Glide Almighty is a masterclass in vintage charm and modern playability, combining influences from iconic guitar designs like the Jazzmaster and Les Paul. Its standout features include a beautifully crafted chambered mahogany body, a hand-carved maple top, and unique Art-Deco inlays. The C.A.R. single-coil pickups channel a nostalgic '50s tone that transcends genres with impressive sonic depth. While its $5,900 price tag is steep, this exquisite, hand-built instrument offers a bespoke feel that's unmatched by mass production. A luxurious choice for those seeking classic tones with a contemporary edge.

"This is a Koll. It's called the Super Glide Almighty. I don't know why he calls it that. And it's bit of a Neil Young' "Old Black", and he's like my favourite guitar player. It's a 3 Lollar Imperials, and it's a hollowbody guitar, but it's a pretty hefty. It's really great. It's sort of Gretschy, but kind of like Neil Young's guitar, with the way it works is the normal 3-way switch. In the middle, you have these 2 [pickups], and here you have this [middle pickup]. But this [the knob], activates this pickup. So, in another words this knob activates bridge pickup. And rolling the knob just a little bit warms the pickup on and it's kind of out-of-the-phase sounding, so this is a great guitar for tremolo and echo playing parts. I've used this extensively, and I've only had this one for about a year. It's got a big, fat, neck. [...] I just love this guitar, I've been playing it a lot.
