If you’re accustomed to playing high end Japanese-made instruments, the likelihood is that you’ve already played an FGN (Fujigen); the company originally built its reputation as an OEM manufacturer for the world’s most respected brands. Now, with their own range of guitars, they exercise creative independence over instrument design, while maintaining their time-won attention to detail.
This Tele-style BIL-M-BK model is fitted with a 6-saddle T-style bridge for accurate intonation. This is further enhanced by FGN’s unique Circle Fretting System (C.F.S.). Slightly curved frets are mounted so as to ensure that each string and fret intersects at right angles, minimising the contact surface. The result is accurate pitch, cleaner, longer sustain and true harmonics.
An FGN Humbucker at the neck is combined with a single-coil in the bridge position. Coil tap further enhances the tonal versatility. The BIL-M-HS is fitted with Gotoh tuners, resulting in silky smooth tuning action. High-quality, long-lasting D’Addario EXL110 strings ensure the strings are a match for the guitar’s performance capabilities.
