Bond Electraglide 1980s - Black

The Bond Electraglide is a rare and fascinating piece of guitar history. Bond Guitars, a British brand, made a name for itself in the early ’80s with this groundbreaking model, which was one of the first to feature an electronic neck with no traditional frets. Instead of using metal frets, the Electraglide used optical sensors to detect finger placement, offering a smooth and unique playing experience that was ahead of its time.

The Bond Electraglide wasn’t just about tech - its futuristic look caught the attention of several well-known musicians. Notably, Adrian Belew used it in his King Crimson days, and U2's The Edge used it on the band's seminal 1987 album The Joshua Tree.

This particular example is in great condition, with standard playwear but no significant issues. Everything on the guitar is original and fully functional. The guitar comes with its original case and power supply, both also in good shape. Weight is 3500g.
