Blade Guitars is a manufacturer of electric guitars and bass guitars founded by luthier Gary Levinson in 1987. Levinson had been repairing guitars since 1964 and, in 1977, during his graduate studies at the University of Basel, Switzerland, he founded Guitars by Levinson.[1] Using the experience he gathered from his work, he decided to start Blade Guitars in 1985. By 1986, he was refining the idea of a line of guitars based on the concept he defines as 'Classic Design, Creative Technology'; at this time, he was also determining the features that would characterize his range of guitars. In January 1987, a manufacturing deal was reached for the production of the guitars. Blade Guitars made their debut in October 1987, at the music show of Tokyo. Their presentation at the Frankfurt Musikmesse in 1988 signalled their European launch.[2]

Sep 01, 2013 Gary Levinson's an American based in Switzerland but the guitars themselves are made in Japan and possibly elsewhere in the Far East. I've had a couple of Blades, an RH4 and an RH2, and the build quality is absolutely top-notch and so is the standard of finish. 'Levinson Blade Solid Body Electric Guitar I bought my Blade R3 (serial number 90442) on payday, 26th September 1991. Blades at this time were Japanese-made. The 'Levinson, Switzerland' logos on them suggested otherwise, but in fact these markings, rather misleadingly, alluded only to the design, not the manufacture.
- Mar 17, 2010 My guitar was MIJ and was really well made. It is actually very hard to get any info on the guitars. If you have the serial number you can email Levinson and they will give you info on the model and build of the guitar. I was impressed with the guitar and had I not gotten such a great trade offer I probably would have kept the Blade.

The main concept behind the design of Blade Guitars is 'Classic Design, Creative Technology'; from this, it would be sensible to infer that a significant portion of their range is inspired by well-established electric guitar and bass designs. Indeed, most of their designs are based on the Fender Stratocaster and Telecaster, with some discreet modifications in their electronics and construction to provide a broader tonal palette and improved playability, respectively. Among these modifications, compared to the original designs, are:
![Serial Serial](https://www.picclickimg.com/d/l400/pict/223909855181_/Vintage-USA-1988-Fender-Stratocaster-Plus-Deluxe-E4.jpg)
- Falcon Tremolo (double block system that also allows uptrem while sitting flat on the guitar body, maintains tune)
- Variable Spectrum Control (an onboard active off/cut/boost preamplifier/3-band EQ system)[3]
- Contoured neck heel (Blade calls it a tapered neck joint)
- Truss rod adjustment at the body end of the neck, beneath a plastic cover (as opposed to vintage Fender designs, where the pickguard has to be removed)
- 22-fret fingerboards.
- Adjustable tension guide (Sprung tensioner on headstock, improvement over string tree)
- Sperzel locking tuners (Trimlock, matched set - declining in height from low E to prevent excessive movement on post)
- Spring steel roller saddle (as opposed to non-ferrous die cast)
Classic Series[edit]
These models can be classified as Superstrats, although their design does not include features popular in this genre, such as pointier body horns, deeper cutaways a double-locking vibrato. They are equipped with locking tuners, an HSS pickup configuration, a graphite nut and the VSC active preamp/EQ. Furthermore, their controls consist of one volume potentiometer (with coil-split for the bridge humbucker) and a master tone potentiometer.
Texas Series[edit]
The models of this series are quite faithful to the classic Strat design. Some of these guitars feature the VSC preamp, others feature a variable mid boost, while some feature strictly passive electronics. Also, most of these guitars have an SSS pickup configuration.
Delta Series[edit]
Inspired by the Fender Telecaster, but with the VSC preamp.
Dayton[edit]
Retro-styled guitars with passive electronics. Gta sa exe for mac free.
XF Series[edit]
A series of three Superstrat-style guitars with 24-fret necks, HH or HSH pickup configurations. The XF-230 Titan is equipped with Floyd Rose-licensed vibrato.[4]
Durango Series[edit]
The current lineup of this series seems to be inspired by the designs of PRS Guitars. All models in this range have an HH pickup configuration; one of them is equipped with the VSC preamp.
