X-100 Blade Runner
ca. 1985-1986
Guild Guitars
This distinctive guitar with large cutouts presents a futuristic take on Gibson's early space-age Explorer body. David Newell and Andrew Desrosiers licensed the design to Guild, which delivered an early example to Joe Perry of Aerosmith. Perry used the instrument in the music video for Run-DMC's 1985 remix of "Walk This Way," a landmark crossover between the worlds of rap and hard rock that also marked the first time rap appeared on MTV. Only about one hundred X-100 Blade Runners were produced during a single year of production. |
