F3

F series chambered guitars are the ultimate tone monsters. The F2 model has 2 humbucker pickups. The F3 model shown here has 3 pickups.

The F2 and F3 models have been developed recently in response to performing guitarists who want the highly acclaimed tone of the F7 guitar, but in a guitar of simpler construction, with simple versatile performance controls rather than complex studio controls.

Mahogany and maple has a long standing reputation as the best possible wood choice for an electric guitar. Taking the art of luthiery to a new level, a sophisticated chambered construction creates considerable tonal enhancement. The central working core of the guitar is relatively decoupled from the perimeter. This minimizes the damping effect of the guitarist's body and clothes. The wood beneath the bridge is solid giving a strong sustain. This is the most responsive guitar to play, with an extensive range of sounds from magically sweet to aggressively growly available by changing the picking style. This instrument is always a joy to play, even without an amplifier. Playing loud is also great. (There is no acoustic feedback problem as with arch-tops).
