The Founders Register
A permanent record of the ten people who stood at the beginning of the new Bond era.
The Founders Edition is the first release from Bond Guitars Limited in over forty years — a small run of ten aluminium stepped fretboards, each one individually numbered and laser-etched.
Once these ten are claimed, the gate closes forever. There will never be another Founders run.
This register exists as a living archive.
A tribute to the first ten who believed in the resurgence of Bond, who saw the spark before the fire, and who helped bring the next Bond instrument — the modern successor to the Electraglide — into reality.
Every name listed here holds a permanent place in Bond history.
Each Founder receives:
-
One of the first ten boards of the modern Bond resurrection
-
Their number etched into the aluminium for life
-
A dedicated certificate of authenticity
-
Premium Bond packaging
-
Private updates and early access to all releases
-
A front-row view of what wakes next
-
Below are the ten Founders, recorded in the order their numbers were claimed.

A Note for the Future
This page will remain online permanently — a marker of where the revival began and the people who helped spark it.
Every guitar, every board, every instrument that follows traces its first pulse back to these ten names.
