A fun guitar with breakthrough technology for mastering the fretboard.
The FG-521 has a robust, one-custom humbucker/two single-coil setup that provides you with a palette of tones to choose from. The Fretlight neck includes the patented Advanced Polymer Fretboard and the world's only built-in LED learning system. Finished with chrome hardware including a fixed bridge, a two-way truss rod and fully adjustable bridge saddles give you complete adjustability for a playing experience that can only be described as pure heaven. The Advanced Polymer Fretboard and Stratabond birch neck gives your tone a sustain that you've only dreamed about.
The updated Fretlight FG-500 guitar sports some significant changes, all aimed toward making the Fretlight the extremely easy guitar to play.
The FG-500's electronics have been upgraded to the Sonix Flash chipset, complete with onboard capability for future growth, and fully compatible with all existing Fretlight software. Its high efficiency electronics produce extremely bright and more consistent LED lights. Whether you're lighting a simple riff, or a scale across the entire fretboard, the lights will maintain a consistent brightness.
Additionally, all FG-500 guitars have a Stratabond neck. Stratabond is a state-of-the-art engineered hardwood that yields uncommon strength and rigidity across ever changing environmental conditions. Perfect for guitar necks that are susceptible to expansion and contraction due to varying humidity levels. The FG-500's Stratabond birch neck will provide very consistent performance for years to come.
The Fretlight lighted guitar learning system allows a player to light-up songs, over 5,000 chords and scale patterns, and riffs right on the neck of the Fretlight guitar. The Fretlight connects to a PC or Mac and there are lessons, songs and interactive videos available which all light up the guitar.
