Unique Features
Don't be fooled. This is not a new Yin Yang design. Believe it or not that is actually the natural coloring of this incredible, solid Buckeye Burl top!
As beautiful as it is, this instrument (like all Foderas) was built to play. With a Birdseye Maple fingerboard, Ash body, and Alder tone block, this Imperial 5 has a powerful, punchy tone that is overall on the bright side, while still retaining warmth and depth in the low register. A simply outstanding bass both visually and tonally.
