Michael Spalt Instruments 700 Series #700E
Custom Boutique Hand-Made Electric Guitar
NAMM Show / Boutique Guitar Showcase Tour Instrument
The 700E from Michael Spalt is part of the “700 Series” and was on display at the 2025 NAMM Show and included in the 2025 North American leg of the Boutique Guitar Showcase Tour. We are now happy to have it on consignment from Michael Spalt.
What is the 700 Series?
In nearly thirty years of guitar making, Michael Spalt had created approximately 700 instruments. He decided to celebrate this milestone by creating a special #700 piece; however, things were a little hazy in the early days, and not every instrument was properly documented. So, rather than build one guitar, he built a series of 5 special instruments for the 2025 NAMM Show, representing the various design styles he is known for. These became the “700 Series” (700A, 700B, 700C, 700D and 700E). One of them is the actual 700th guitar, but it’s impossible to know which one.
This particular guitar is #700E and this is what Michael Spalt has to say about it, “I used to visit a retired wood dealer during my time in L.A. in the 90's, a man who had collected a treasure of beautiful woods over the years, most of it dating to the 50's and 60's. He only accepted cash and so I was only able to nibble at the edges of this amazing hoard. One piece I acquired was a massive chunk of fiddleback Maple. It has traveled with me from L.A. to Vienna and now to our new home in Portugal. Its thickness destined it for a wrap-around body, similar to my "modern Lute". Taking hints from the hybrid line the body pieces are highly sculpted to showcase the figured wood and connect to the through-neck and each other by an aluminum piece. Very light and comfortable, the beauty of the wood has found a good match in the ergonomics.”
