Wandre / Modele Waid Blue Burst / 1959 / Guitar

Wandre Pioli, born in 1926, was a true innovator in guitar design. He learned the trade from his father who was also a renowned luthier in Cavriago, Italy which is only a stonesthrow away from the home of Stradivarius, Cremona. He was notably the first one to use aluminium necks in combination with easthetically unique body shapes. Wandre designed the "broom stick" neck to solve the problem of "warping" necks which happened a lot to guitars which used softer Italian tonewoods. The tilt of the neck can also be easily adjusted always ensuring optimal playability, to avoid a cold sensation on the back of the neck a simple adhesive tape was applied. Playing a Wandre guitar is a completely unique, and surprisingly comfortable experience.  This Wandre Waid model from 1959 is not only extremely rare, but also in extraordinarily great shape. The finish hardly shows any signs of playwear, only a few shallow dings and one lacquer crack on the back of the body. The instrument is also entirely original including Davoli pickups, pickguard, bindings (which were partially reglued), tailpiece, wiring and pots (just a few newer solder joints). Included is a 5- to 6mm jack converter so you can use the guitar with a standard cable. Even the original Wandre strap is included!

ABOUT US

I have always been opposed to being trapped into a job eight hours a day to purchase the free time to do what I enjoy. That’s why i started the Fellowship of Acoustics. The fellowship of acoustics was founded by Rudi Bults, Guitarist and obsessed with tone and wood. The idea was offering real expertise when trading and selling the finest instruments in the world from our showroom in Bergentheim, Netherlands. Helping others find the right tools and enjoying an atmosphere that’s unhurried, honest and informative that’s my go. We are nothing like the "supermarket" style music stores, but specialize in string-things only. We are widely known for Flattop guitars but also sell electric, mandolins & banjo’s, amps, parts, and accessories. Our store has earned the reputation for being a great place to shop for the best products and service.
It is our hope that this new website - much more than a list of "gear" for sale - will serve as an example of our commitment to offering a more personal approach, a friendly atmosphere, and an ultimately more satisfying experience for our friends and customers.
If you have any questions just dial +31-523-232205 or e-mail info@thefellowshipofacoustics.com My name is Rudi Bults, and I’m always here to help out. Wherever possible, we would recommend that you visit our store and experience our instruments and service first hand. However, because of our high standards you can be confident of ordering online from us. We hope you enjoy your visit to our site, and welcome your feedback.
