Incredible aluminium-necked Italian Guitar from the 'artists' Wandre.
In great condition. I have the original tailpiece (I currently mounted a vintage floating trem so no damage at all). This is a true collectors item, but a great player as well. Wandre guitars usually sell for high end prices - so this is your chance to get one for a more affordable price.

Wandre Guitars is an electric guitar brand started by the Italian guitar manufacturer Antonio Vandrè Pioli. These guitars are famous for their original shapes, aluminium necks and unique switches.The guitars were originally designed and manufactured from 1957 to 1968 by Pioli in Cavriago, Italy. Very small productions were made, which makes these guitars very sought-after in the vintage guitar market. Shipping is for the buyer ;)
