Fibenare Roadmaster FB Guitar, Palisander Fretboard, HSS Pickups, Cherry Burst

Description

PLAYER'S PERSPECTIVE

We're stoked to welcome Fibenare Guitars to our family of high-end and boutique guitar builders on hand! Fibenare was founded by a family of skilled luthiers from Kecskemét, Hungary. In 1990, the Benedek brothers faced the difficulty of acquiring quality guitars that Hungary was experiencing at the time. As a result, they were encouraged by their father to take up building their own, and the rest is history. Every component designed and produced in-house, these guitars are seriously incredible and are right up there with anything coming out of American custom shops.

Check out this gorgeous new Roadmaster FB, a fully-loaded take on the iconic S-style hot rod. This is a classic 1980s Superstrat-inspired vibe, from top to bottom. Of course, it's also got the special Fibenare touch - a gorgeous Arctic Birch top with masterful bookmatching, a figured flame maple neck, and a beautiful Cherry Burst finish make this one of the most beautiful guitars of this type we've seen.

This beautiful instrument isn't all looks, though - it plays and sounds fantastic as well. The neck profile is both familiar and a sheer joy to play on, and the fretwork is impeccable, as you'd expect from a handmade boutique builder of this caliber. The ultra-stable Fibenare 2-point tremolo is extremely-well-designed and can pull off guitar trickery nearly on par with a locking trem. As the cherry on top, this axe is also extremely lightweight, clocking in at less than 7 lbs.

This build features custom Fibenare single-coils that cop the vintage S-type tones with ease, while pairing nicely with the ALV63 humbucker in the bridge that pushes your amp nicely for singing leads and soaring chords. This guitar is downright killer by every definition.

"The Roadmaster FB is the perfect 'work-horse' guitar, and then some! The shape is super comfortable and balanced, and the guys know how to make the exact right pickups for what sounds you're looking for!" - Jake Willson
