Custom Fodera in Stunning Walnut
Though they made their name in the bass world, Fodera also crafts world-renown electric guitars, such as this Imperial Custom. Crafted from the finest private reserve walnut, the Imperial Custom electric guitar sings with a bell-like clarity. Its elegant contours wrap your body while your hands enjoy the feel and ring of the guitar's mahogany and ebony neck. And a duet of alnico Seymour Duncan humbucking pickups deliver your song with the same level of detail and purpose as the Imperial Custom was crafted.

Expert craftsmanship with a vintage-style feel
There are a lot of gorgeous instruments in Sweetwater's Guitar Gallery. But when we got our eyes, ears, and hands on the Fodera electric guitars, we knew we had something special to offer you. This Imperial Custom exudes these qualities with hand-selected tonewoods that include a chocolatey and deeply quilted walnut body and top. And every player will feel the difference of the guitar's late '50s-style rounded C mahogany neck and warm rosewood fingerboard. But the parts hardly do justice to the whole - this guitar hums with vitality and demands to be played.
Seymour Duncan humbucking pickups
The voice of the alnico Seymour Duncan humbucker is that of a beefier P.A.F. pickup. The tone still retains the clarity and warmth of a great P.A.F., but is voiced with a bit more punch. The alnico II magnet in the neck and the alnico V i the neck provide enhanced harmonic structure and excellent low-frequency response. You'll find its thick and singing tone is a perfect complement to the Imperial Custom. With their balanced tone and enhanced output, the alnico Seymour Duncan humbuckers in the Fodera Imperial Custom can take you from mellow jazz to Santana-esque overdriven sustain.
Built in Brooklyn, New York, by Fodera's top-notch luthiers
When you're a small instrument company like Fodera, you don't have a custom shop for high-end orders and a main production shop for standard models — you simply have a shop, and the same guys crafting the made-to-order instruments make the production models, such as the Imperial Custom. That's well over three decades of master craftsmanship behind literally every instrument that leaves the shop.
