Wandre / ROCK OVAL GUITAR / 1959 / Multi Color Sparkle Finish / Guitar
|
Antony Wandre Pioli was born in Italy in 1926, the son of violin maker Roberto Pioli. He began making guitars in the 1950s. Today Wandre’s 1950s & early •60s guitars are celebrated for their radical aluminum necks (which can’t ever warp), their unique switching, and most of all their wonderful shapes and fantastic pop-art colors. Many are in art museums. Plus, they’ve been cherished and played by such noted guitarists as Jimi Hendrix, Buddy Miller (of Emmy Lou Harris fame), and Ace Frehley of Kiss. In 1957, Wandre began working with instrument makers Davoli (already well-known for their pick-ups and amps). While production runs were low (compared with US makers Fender or Gibson) they sold well the world over.
Just in is this totally cool Rock Oval guitar now residing in our personal collection. Its known as the Italian Picasso of guitars, made in the late 50’s thru the early 60’s, these were so advanced in their production process & new ideas that most players had no interest. Hence the rarity. From its molded hollow body construction to its unique pickup/pickgard design to its aluminum neck…from its round control plate to its “W” tailpiece…these are so frickin wild & beautiful. We also have posted several other examples & some advertizing lit of this rare Brand. We have loved these for nearly 3 decades, we had this wall sculpture made for us hanging in our house ever since. Enjoy…
