Bill Nelson is one of the most unique talents to have emerged from the 70's Glam scene, first coming to prominence with his influential band Be Bop Deluxe.

Today, Bill Nelson remains more prolific than ever, and one of the true mavericks in the music industry, totally bypassing record labels and releasing several albums by himself. Nelson is all about the music - and we're proud to count him as a friend, fan and collaborator.

Besides owning several of our models, Bill Nelson also helped us to design to Signature guitars, including the new Astroluxe Cadet.
