Overview

A handcrafted, innovative take on a classic double-cutaway electric guitar.

Since 1983, Fodera has been hand-building custom guitars and basses in Brooklyn, New York. Combining precision craftsmanship, innovative technology, and a deep passion for music and the art of luthiery, Fodera has created a family of instruments that sing with a sweet, pure voice. The Imperial is their take on iconic single-cutaway, two-pickup design, but with additions and improvements, like the tone-thickening, steel bridge-pickup mounting plate, that take it far beyond it's 1950's roots while delivering the bright, punchy tones you expect from an instrument inspired by that lineage.
