Super Cub
A thin, light solidbody inspired by '60s American guitars, with a six-on-a-side headstock.
About this guitar
The Super Cub takes design cues from guitars like the Epiphone Wilshire and Gibson Melody Maker, mashed up with Koll’s classic Glide body shape and a new six-on-a-side headstock. It’s thinner and lighter than Koll’s other solidbodies, aimed at being simply fun to play. Custom-ordered and hand-built by Saul Koll.
