Description & Condition
Description & Condition
Founder Vinny Fodera began his career while still in his teens.
After working in prestigious workshops such as Spector and Kensmith, he founded Fodera Guitars in 1983.
Their clients include Victor Wooten, Richard Bona, Marcus Miller, Anthony Jackson, and many other top musicians from around the world.
This model is the popular Emperror, which is inspired by JB's style but incorporates more modern elements.
It has a strong sound pressure in all ranges, and the smooth rise that coexists with it is like that of a set neck.
It is an eloquent example of why Fodera is so highly regarded by top musicians.
After receiving this guitar, we asked SLEEK ELITE to scan it and make adjustments.
At that time, the position of the truss rod was also corrected.
The truss rod nut was damaged, so SLEEK ELITE prepared a new one and installed it.
The remaining frets are about 80%.
The truss rod movement is a little stiff, but we have confirmed that it works at least 90 degrees.
The neck is in good condition.
The condition of the body and paint surface is not very noticeable, but there is a large dent scratch on the body top.
