wira Posted August 23, 2020 Posted August 23, 2020 (edited) For sale is my wonderful Fodera Custom Monarch 5-string Bolt-On. It was built in September 2019 and it is in pristine condition – there are no dents or scratches and the frets are like new. It has a slightly thinner body ( like the Fodera Select Series ) and chambers to reduce the weight. It comes in at just 3,9kg, which is really light for a Fodera 5er. In conjunction with the 33“ scale and the 16,5mm spacing, this Fodera feels super compact and is very easy to play – you won’t find many Foderas with this specs on the secondhand market. It is currently setup B-G which works great, but you can also convert it to E-C, of course. Also, the Holly-Top is very clean and was a significant upcharge. A new Monarch 5 with this specs would be over 10000€ with all the additional costs ( shipping, customs, tax ). I would like to get 6000€ for mine ( includes the original Fodera Hardshell Case and insured shipping in europe ). Here are the specs from the Fodera newborn page : Holly Monarch 5 Bolt-on Body Woods • Alder Body • No Tone Block • Holly Topwood Neck Woods • Ebony Fingerboard • 3-pc. Hard Rock Maple Neck • No Inlays/Side dots only Construction Specs • Bolt-on Construction • 33" Scale Length • 5 String Configuration (16.5mm Spacing) • 24 Frets (large frets) Electronics Options • Fodera Custom Preamp • Fodera Duncan Dual Coil Pickups • Garrison 3-band Control layout here is the link to the Fodera Newborn page with lots of pics: https://fodera.smugmug.com/Newborn-Gallery-Vol-VI/Newborn-1947/i-k74FqVW I added some Sound files, so you can get an idea how it sounds.
