BOND made the ELECTRAGLIDE between 1984 and 1986. It was completely made of carbon fibre weighing around 4 kg - but its most unsual feature was its carbon fibre stepped fretboard. There were no metal frets - the strings were fretted againts the sawtooth ridges.

Pickups were 3 single coils with recessed touch sensitive electronic voume, treble and bass controls (it has no potentiometers). Hardware was made by Schaller - with gold or silver finish options. The guitar's electronics needed an external power supply and overall it was relatively bulky. Perhaps this was one of the reasons it was not a commercial success with only about 1400 instruments made.

Notable users of the Electraglide were Mick Jones, The Edge, Will Sergeant, John Turnbull and Dave Stewart (he's pictured with one in the 1984 Bond catalog).
