Story

The Backlund Super Vee takes one of the most iconic guitar silhouettes of all time, and propels it boldly into the future! Sharp and symmetrical, the Super Vee draws inspiration from classic V-shaped guitars of rock’s golden age, and then reimagines them through the unmistakable lens of Backlund’s retro-futuristic design philosophy.

Sculpted contours soften the aggressive outline just enough, creating a body that feels sleek and aerodynamic. Its three custom-wound humbuckers pickups and intuitive controls provide a wide tonal palette, from biting leads to rich, articulate rhythm tones, all housed in a design that looks as forward-thinking today as tomorrow.

True to the Backlund spirit, the Super Vee isn’t about nostalgia alone: it’s about evolution. Familiar at a glance yet wildly different, this is a guitar built for players who appreciate classic forms, bold ideas, and a future-focused attitude.
