Featured at the 2020 NAMM show, this truly stunning Duo Glide answers the question: What if Koll made an Airline/Kay inspired guitar?

It's hard to know where to look first - the beautifully rendered round-up orange birdseye top? Custom Koll knobs...ah, who are we kidding. As beautiful as those features are, what the heck are those pickups, right?

The pickups are Curtis Novak Narrow Range with "Tissue Box" covers like the ones you'd find on early 60s Airline/Kay guitars. If you've never encountered a set of these in person, they are incredible to behold as they're so foreign to our collective single coil/humbucker eyes - the reflective silver hidden under a transparent plastic cover...beautiful, unique stuff.

But the real question, of course, is how do they sound? The Narrow Range pickups are a single coil version of the Fender WideRange pickup, just made in a P90 size. Think: Clean, Fender-like tone with some Tele bite.

This unique, and masterfully executed, Koll Duo Glide melds Kay/Airline cool with exceptional craftsmanship. From the gorgeous birdseye maple top with a "primative" stamped F-hole to the Curtis Novak "Tissue Box" pickups...and oh those pickups...Saul Koll proves, yet again, why he's at the top of the boutique guitar mountain.
