| It seems like only yesterday that Golden Boulder first appeared at Rox
and founder members Chris and Elliot were only about 10 years old [eight
years old] and seemed no bigger than the guitars and drums they played.
Now, some five [six] years later, they demonstrated just how far they have
come and captivated a large section of the crowd. With the addition of
Nick on bass they proved to be an extremely tight unit and excellent
musicians which secured the loudest appreciation from the audience...

Blade Guitars to recognise Chris Cox as an official UK
endorsee
Just as Chris is to turn 14 years, we have been
blown away yet again by the recognition shown to Golden Boulder for their music.
This time Chris is recognised for his association with Blade Guitars. His RH4
Misty Violet (top of the range model) purchased in April 2007 has been a stage
favourite ever since, alongside his custom LP. The two guitars provide every
conceivable style and sound he wants to achieve right now, which is an amazing
endorsement to what the Blade RH4 offers him. He's honoured that Blade should
recognise him in return!
Blades
History..........Gary Levinson began repairing Guitars in
1964. Utilizing his multiple university degrees in applied and natural sciences.
Levinson approaches guitar building from an analytical standpoint. Inherent
resonant frequencies of woods, innovative electronics and the tonal effect of
hardware designs are important factors in his concept development. Equally as
important is the role of "metaphysics" - or magic. Exhaustive research goes into
those exclusive components that make a great guitar feel and sound right to a
player.
In 1977 he opened his workshop in Switzerland. Early in 1982 he set the
groundwork for the Blade guitar line with a series of prototypes utilizing
innovative pickup systems and the position-determined-profile neck. January 1987
the alliance was forged with manufacturing partners to launch the Blade
programme on a worldwide scale.
By 1990 Blade had become the best selling custom high-end guitar in Europe and
received endorsements from many of the world's finest players.
