Description from the seller
WELSON KINTON 1960
An perfect piece for an Italian collection, a unique sound for the studio and an unforgettable look for the stage, exclusively for you!
Beautiful guitar, well built and totally original and overhauled by me (I am a luthier). I only changed the bridge and the tremolo, which were no longer reliable. The look is insane; I have rarely owned guitars this beautiful, rock and sparkling. Now a bit of history…
Straight neck, functioning and original electronics, hardware that holds tuning and tremolo working.
Now a bit of history…
Orlando Quagliardi founded the Welson company in 1921 in Castelfidardo, Italy. Originally a harmonica manufacturer, Welson was one of the first Italian companies to produce guitars.
The first Welson guitars were archtops very similar to the German archtops of the early 1950s.
In 1962–64 the first “Solid Body” (full body) Welson models were marketed.
Unlike some European brands of lower quality, Welson positioned itself from the creation of these early Solid Bodies as one of the most serious manufacturers.
By the late 1960s, Welson earned the nickname the “Italian Gibson.”
Guitare Collection presents this splendid Welson Professional from the early 1960s with a very rare finish called “Spaghetti.”
A guitar from the legendary maker with a unique look, very light thanks to Res'O'Glass (glass fiber and polyester) and very easy to play thanks to the adjustments by my luthier.
A very simple electronics setup (not always present on Welson) that allows you to achieve very specific tones: rich and with beautiful depth.
