FGN J-Standard Odyssey Koa Top - Electric Guitar (Made in Fujigen)

FGN Guitars

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 super-strat is not only visually striking, with its incredible Koa top and finish, but also sounds incredible! Equipped with Seymour Duncan pickups, an SD alnico-II pro APS-1 in the neck, SD Vintage Staggered SSL-1 in the middle & SD Pegasus TB Humbucking pickup in the bridge, all wired with a 5-way switch, it's extremely versatile, allowing you to play in various styles and genres with authentic and faithful tones.

It also sports a 2-point tremolo system designed by FGN in the bridge and Gotoh tuners. It has great tuning stability, ensuring you can have lots of fun with the whammy bar, without being too concerned about tuning.

This guitar has a compound radius fingerboard, a smaller (rounder) radius towards the nut that gradually gets a larger (flatter) radius towards the neck join i.e. similar to the shape of a cone. This allows for much easier chord playing at lower frets while having less stress, especially when bending strings at higher registers.

FGN's J-Standard Fret Edge treatment contributes to much smoother fingering and a sculpted neck heel allows for much greater comfort when playing higher up.

All FGN guitars and basses have a unique Circle Fretting System (C.F.S.). It was created by FGN to offer superior pitch accuracy and articulation than conventional frets on guitars and basses. All frets are installed on the fingerboard with a slightly curved shape, so that every string crosses all the frets at 90 degrees, i.e. to offer a minimum contact of string on a fret, and it makes the scale length of every string even where it would vary on conventional fretting. The C.F.S. is a solution of fretting on a traditional guitar and bass and it offers clearer articulation and tones giving you extra dimensions when you play chords and cuts through the mix when you play single notes.
