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.) – Precision and Unmatched Clarity
Discover the groundbreaking Circle Fretting System (C.F.S.) in all FGN guitars and basses. This innovative design enhances pitch accuracy and tonal clarity. By slightly curving the frets on the fingerboard, strings intersect at a 90-degree angle, reducing string-to-fret contact. This unique approach equalizes scale length for each string, resulting in precise articulation, fuller chord resonance, and single notes that cut effortlessly through any mix.
Enhanced Playability with Premium Design Features
- Compound Radius Fingerboard: Features a rounded radius near the nut for easier chord play and a flatter radius toward the neck for stress-free string bending in higher registers.
- Roasted Maple Neck with Moonsault Heel Cutaway: Enjoy unrestricted access to higher frets with this ergonomic design. Luminous side dots ensure excellent visibility even on dimly lit stages.
- Rolled Edge Fingerboard and Jumbo Stainless Frets: Provides unparalleled comfort during play and exceptional fret durability with FGN’s expert fret edge treatment.
