Feast your eyes on this absolutely stunning custom Fodera Imperial Elite 5! When we came across this breathtaking Amboyna Burl top, we knew that we had to use it for an Imperial Elite build to truly showcase the natural coloration in this top and the contrast it boasts. But we didn't stop there. We chose to load this bass with the Fodera/Duncan Dual Coil pickups with matching Amboyna Burl covers and an Amboyna Burl ramp. The body wings are Swamp Ash with an Alder tone block. The Ebony fretboard is adorned with blonde Buckeye Burl dots with blue Luminlay side dots, and the matching Amboyna Burl headstock flaunts the Fodera butterfly logo that has Ebony wings and a Holly "f". This bass is loaded with the new Fodera x Trickfish preamp, giving you a vast array of tones suitable for any style you choose to play. This bass is an exceptional representation of the handmade craftsmanship coming from Fodera's shop in Brooklyn, NY, and is one that is sure to induce awe in anyone in its presence.
