Unique Features
Built for the fabulous bass player and producer, Reggie Young, this Imperial Elite 6 string was developed in close collaboration with Reggie to provide him with the tonal flexibility that he was looking to employ on some new projects that he has been working on.  With its Ash body, Alder Tone Block and old growth Indian Rosewood fingerboard, his new signature Fodera should be just the trick!

Other key specifications include Kent Armstrong Dual Coil Pickups, a five-piece Maple neck and an Ebony ramp.  Tonally this instrument has a fantastic low-end while retaining excellent cut and clarity throughout its range.  You'll be seeing a lot more of Reggie on his new Fodera in the months to come!
