Fender Custom Shop / C.SHOP ROBBEN FORD ULTRA FM GREG FESSLER 017 / 1998 / Guitar
|
This pre-owned Fender Robben Ford model is a rare classic. Stepping outside their comfort zone, Fender enlisted Custom Shop Master Builder gREG fESSLER to produce this classic Mahogany bodied instrument with input the axe-slinger. The carved mAPLE top caps the chambered body for a warm resonance with tons of “air”. The Mahogany neck is topped with a 22 fret bound Ebony fingerboard that’s inlaid with split block Mother-of-Pearl inlay. Dual Fender humbuckers provide everything from smooth jazz sounds from the neck pickup to hard rocking tones from the bridge. Gold hardware, including a Tune-O-Matic bridge and a stopbar tailpiece, perfectly complement the classic Cherry Sunburst. This instrument is in overall excellent condition .•8 lbs. 3 oz.
