Unique Features
Built for a very dear friend who also happens to be one of the most patient people on the planet. This instrument was originally ordered as a 20th Anniversary instrument. The story about why it is being delivered as a 30th Anniversary instrument instead is too long for the Newborn Section, but let's just say that good things come to those who wait!
Made from the very finest woods we have in the shop, this instrument was intended to be visually stunning, tonally exceptional, a dream to play and a "thank you" to a good friend that has stood by Fodera through thick and thin.
Between the balanced selection of tone woods (Ash body, Alder Tone Block, and Brazilian RW fingerboard), Fodera / Duncan Dual Coil Pickups and Fodera / Pope Preamp the one word that comes to mind when playing this instrument is "balanced." Oh, and it looks pretty darn nice too!
