The Odyssey (OS) series is the very first original FGN guitar. It was designed with precision & detail stemming from a long history of guitar manufacturing experience. These guitars are relatively simple with a traditional taste yet sport very useful modern & practical features for today's musicians.
FGN Guitars with Circle Fretting System (C.F.S.) for Exceptional Tone and Precision
FGN guitars and basses feature the exclusive Circle Fretting System (C.F.S.), designed to enhance pitch accuracy and tonal clarity. By installing frets in a slightly curved shape, each string crosses the frets at a 90-degree angle, minimizing contact for precise articulation. This innovative design creates even scale lengths across all strings, delivering clear tones and rich harmonics that make both chords and single notes stand out.
Enhanced Playability with Premium Design Features
- Compound Radius Fingerboard: The fingerboard’s conical shape provides a smaller radius near the nut for easy chord work and a flatter radius toward the neck for smooth bends, especially in higher registers.
- Roasted Maple Neck with Moonsault Heel Cutaway: Designed for stress-free access to high frets, the roasted maple neck also features luminous side dots for visibility on dark stages.
- Rolled Edge Fingerboard and Jumbo Stainless Frets: Enjoy a smoother, more comfortable play with rolled fingerboard edges and durable jumbo stainless steel frets, coupled with FGN’s Xpert fret edge treatment.
- FGN Three-String Tree and GOTOH Magnum Lock Tuners: Vintage-inspired, locking GOTOH tuners maintain tuning stability and offer quick adjustments.
- Versatile Pickup Configuration with Kill Switch: The 5-way lever, complete with a bridge pickup kill switch, enables dynamic tonal control and added effects. FGN XPERT humbucker and OS-2 single-coil pickups deliver rich sound versatility.
