FODERA Fodera Emperor 5 Standard Special [SN E5SS233] (03/08)

New for 2021, the Fodera Empire 5 Standard Special is now in stock, almost unused 2024!

This guitar has the optional Figured Imbuya Top and Birdseye Maple Fingerboard, and the Gold Hardware is in good condition with no blemishes.

Imbuya is widely distributed in South America and is used as tonewoods in recent years because of its moderate altitude.
It is different from walnut and rose woods, which are similarly colored dark brown, and its intricate grain is impressive and makes this particular piece stand out.
High quality alder was selected for the back, which matches well with the invoices and produces a very well-balanced tone.

The three-piece quarter-sawn hard maple neck is solid and secure, and the fingerboard is made of beautifully grained bird's-eye maple with eye-catching Avalon dot inlays, and the Fodera butterfly logo on the head is made of blue Avalon.

Fodera/Duncan dual-coil pickups and a Fodera/Pope 3-band preamp combine to deliver a pleasant tone in both active and passive positions for a high-end, hi-fi Fodera sound.
The pickups are equipped with tap switches, which activate the outer coils of both pickups when single-tapped.
This allows for a deep yet crisp tone reminiscent of a Fender (due in part to the bolt-on construction).

The more you play the FODERA, the more you will enjoy its growth as an instrument.
