The Tone King Visits Chuck Levin’s: Exclusive Badlands Holoflash Guitars Are Here! 🎸✨

At Chuck Levin’s Washington Music Center, we’re all about delivering unique experiences for the guitar community. Recently, we had the privilege of welcoming the one and only The Tone King (TK) to our studio for an electrifying announcement: Chuck Levin’s is now an official Badlands Guitar Company dealer! 🎉

TK didn’t just make the announcement—he gave us an in-depth look at the incredible Badlands Holoflash guitars, including three exclusive finishes you’ll only find here at Chuck Levin’s. These guitars are a testament to Badlands Guitar Company's passion for craftsmanship, inspired by the golden era of rock—the 80s.

What Makes Badlands Holoflash Guitars So Special?

The Holoflash series is all about revisiting and elevating the iconic 80s guitar aesthetic. TK walked us through some standout features that set these guitars apart:

Each Holoflash guitar features a jaw-dropping reflective finish that interacts beautifully with light, creating a kaleidoscope of colors. Whether on stage or in your studio, these finishes are sure to turn heads. Chuck Levin’s exclusive lineup includes three stunning colors:

Pink Holoflash – Vibrant and bold.
Purple Holoflash – Deep and mysterious.
Red Holoflash – Fiery and dynamic, resembling molten lava.
2. Unique Design Enhancements
Badlands has reimagined the classic Holoflash:

A smoke-burst edge adds a smoother, more polished look compared to the jagged finishes of the past.
The reflective layer is protected under a clear coat, ensuring the finish stays pristine for decades.
Matching headstocks with Holoflash accents bring a cohesive, artistic touch to every guitar.

Thoughtful Hardware and Playability 🤔

Badlands guitars combine nostalgic aesthetics with modern functionality:

- Locking tuners simplify string changes, so you spend less time maintaining and more time playing.
- A slanted neck joint and ergonomic design reduce palm interference, making it easier to shred.
- Hand-wound pickups, crafted in the USA, offer a balanced, fat tone with minimal volume drop when switching between humbucker and single-coil settings.

Exclusive Case Candy: A True 80s Experience🍬

Badlands takes the concept of case candy to another level. Each guitar comes with a custom case candy bag, packed with thoughtful extras like:

A Runway Audio instrument cable with a Holoflash finish.

A Holoflash button and patch for your denim jacket.
A QC card and a signed certificate of authenticity with a hologram seal.
And even a Badlands-themed all-access badge and folder filled with fun, nostalgic goodies.
All of this is housed in a G&G USA-made hard shell case, designed with classic 80s aesthetics in mind.


As TK puts it, retailers like Chuck Levin’s deserve something special. That’s why these exclusive Holoflash guitars in pink, purple, and red are only available here.  These guitars are more than just instruments—they’re a tribute to the golden age of rock and a showcase of modern craftsmanship. Whether you’re a collector or a performer, these limited-edition guitars are a must-have.

Stop by Chuck Levin’s Washington Music Center to see these stunning guitars in person (although they are movin' quick!), or contact us with any questions. Let us help you relive the magic of the 80s in style!
