Chris Rea, Randy Jackson (judge on American Idol) has bought 9 of them. The Cars use them, Stevie Salas and Todd Rundgren just to name a few.While on tour in Europe Chris Rea found an Italia Maranello model."In terms of me playing and listening to it, it sounded almost identical to (Rea's famous old Strat®) 'Pinky'," continues Rea, "but with no buzz - not a sausage! And to think that it's supposed to be a cheap guitar! So I immediately got another three from Denmark Street.If there was ever a national ad campaign, Italia Guitars would be even bigger. These are not styled for everyone, but on the plus side, they're unique and nothing else is close. Taking inspiration from the more individual guitar designs of the 50's and 60's, Italia guitars take the concept of 'modern retro' to the very maximum.Conceived and designed by Trev Wilkinson, the man behind the launch and development of Fret-King and the JHS Vintage, Vintage Icon, Vintage Advance and Encore line-up of best sellers, Italia instruments offer stand-out looks, innovative ideas, wide tone choice, superb playability, all at reassuringly competitive prices.
