WANDRÉ
Wandré guitars help define where art design and guitar production cross. Designed by Italian motorcycle and guitar appreciator, Wandré Pelotti (1916-1981) was an artist and sculptor from Milan. Wandré instruments are oddly shaped thinline hollowbody electric or solid body electric guitars with either Framez or Davoli pickups.
Wandré guitars were personally produced by Pelotti from 1956/1957 to 1960. Between 1960 and 1963, the designs were produced by Framez in Milan, Italy, and then by Davoli from 1963 to 1965. Pelotti supervised construction from 1966 to 1969 in his own factory.
Wandré's instruments may bear a number of different brand names, but the Wandré logo will appear somewhere. Other brand names include Davoli, Framez, JMI, Noble, Avalon, Avanti I, Krundaal, and possibly others.
