3 Davoli Pickups !!!

Wandre's proprietary plastic-sheathed aluminum neck is mounted to a fairly "normal" solid-body in a somewhat exaggerated Fender-esque mode. Since it's a Wandre, that body is made of molded plastic sections over a small wood core; in this case, red on top with a black back. The internally mounted tremolo system and fully adjustable bridge are also unique Wandre creations. The bridge actually mounts OVER the strings, with small cradles for them hanging off the underside. It is still fully adjustable for height and intonation. Since this makes palm muting awkward, Wandre thoughtfully provided a floating mute on the forward edge, activated by palm pressure as desired. It seems odd at first, but actually works quite well and is touch sensitive unlike similar systems found on Fender, Vox, and Gretsch guitars.

"Doris" is pretty much unlike any other guitar in both sound and feel. While somewhat conventional compared to many of Wandre Pioli's more eccentrically-shaped electric children, it maintains all the best sonic and engineering features of the line combined with a more solid feel than most. It plays and sounds fantastic, with the airy-but-biting tone of the Davoli pickups but sturdier feeling and a bit more aggressive sounding compared to the ethereal semi-hollow designs that make up much of the Wandre line. A fantastic example from the most inspired oddball of Italian '60s guitar design, ready to go.
