Inspired by Judit Polgár, the first female Grandmaster, this guitar embodies brilliance, strategy, and defiance of convention. Its chessboard design symbolises tactical mastery and bold thinking, reflecting Judit’s groundbreaking journey. Crafted to honour trailblazing spirit, it’s a visual and musical celebration of intelligence, individuality, and fearless creativity.
Made from six contrasting woods and fitted with Gretsch pickups, it’s a bold symbol of strategy, strength, and breaking boundaries through craft and sound.
