About This Listing

Levinson Blade Texas

A killer Strat style guitar from Blade guitars. Blade guitars were founded by Gary Levinson in Switzerland in 1987, building traditional styled guitars with a modern edge. In the 90's Blade guitars started building their guitars in Japan - these were made in the Deviser factory; one of the top factories in the country famous for their stringent quality control and reliance on traditional building techniques.

This Texas is an excellent example of a Deviser built blade. A stunning S-type guitar with a perfect blend of vintage and modern features to appeal to a whole host of players. This guitar sports Blades famous Variable Spectrum Control preamp, an active boost that can be adjusted for Bass, Middle and Treble via the 3 trim pots at the back of the guitar.

I've spoken to Blade about this guitar as I was struggling to identify the finish. They confirmed it is an Oil finish only offered on the Texas guitars in late 1992 as a special run. A rare beast!

Spec:

  • Alder body
  • Maple neck
  • Rosewood fingerboard
  • Adjustable string tree
  • 22 Frets
  • 3x Levinson VS-3 Single Coils
  • 5-way selector switch
  • Master Volume
  • Master Tone
  • 3-way VSC Boost switch
  • ST type bridge with roller saddles
  • Levinson tuners

Our old Blade came to us in need of some serious TLC after years of love! We've refretted the guitar with 2.65mm Jescar frets, installed a brand new VSC-4 preamp (the original was kaput) and given the guitar a good clean and set up. It shows some age related marks as you would expect from a guitar of this vintage that has been played a lot but it only adds to its charm in our opinion!

We endeavour to describe all our instruments with the upmost accuracy, if you have any questions about any of our guitars please don't hesitate to ask! All our guitars are professionally checked and set-up before they are shipped out to you, if you have any specific set-up requirements please let us know and we will happily accommodate you.
