Description & Condition
Description & Condition
Freedom Custom Guitar Research is a guitar workshop in Tokyo.
Founded in 1998, they gained a strong reputation for repair work before shifting their focus to instrument making.
All basses are made in their Tokyo workshop.
Their wood selection is extremely rigorous, and their meticulous quality control, made possible by their small workshop size, is a key characteristic.
Their superior craftsmanship has earned them the trust of professional musicians.
This particular instrument is a C.S. Anthra 4st Active, custom-ordered by GIB.
The Anthra model is based on the technology and philosophy cultivated in the company's Rhino series.
Its easy-to-handle body shape accommodates modern playability.
While the standard Anthra is passive, this instrument features an FCGR original active preamp.
The body is made of ash with a natural finish.
The clearly defined wood grain is beautiful, and the clear pickguard further enhances its appearance.
The neck is an FCGR U-shaped maple neck, and the fingerboard is also maple.
The fingerboard features pearl-like block inlays, giving it a vibrant look.
The headstock is a matching natural color, the same as the body.
The combination of an ash body and maple fingerboard evokes the 70s, resulting in a 70s-style specification.
The finish is extremely thin, which directly impacts the quality of the vibration.
The frets are FCGR's original Eternal Frets (016WARM) with 21 frets, and the nut is made of silicone oiled bone.
Two FCGR original JB-type pickups are installed.
The pickups are pitched to match the 19mm string spacing at the bridge.
The FCGR original active preamp is characterized by a nuanced sound that gives a strong boost.
The controls appear to be the same as the active models in the same series: two volume controls, tone control, a two-band EQ for treble and bass, and a preamp on/off switch.
The ability to switch between passive and passive modes by turning off the preamp is a key feature, allowing you to choose the right setting for the situation.
While maintaining a traditional sound overall, it's characterized by its tight vibration.
It's JB-like, yet it also fully meets modern demands.
A guitar that combines a classic look with the tonal shaping possibilities of an active pickup.
Please give it a try.
Neck width (nut): 38mm
Bridge string spacing: 19mm
Scale length: 34inch
GIB's craftsmen will adjust it for easy playability before delivery.
