Fodera Club Part XII

[Just Thumpin']

Just sold two minutes ago to a customer on the other side of the World. He has multiple Foderas but this is his first Monarch 4. I do not believe that he is on TB...

Jason, I have a dumb question... I was looking at the price list and options. What comes "standard" on custom shop models before custom options these days? i.e. pick-ups, top woods, etc. In other words, if you bought an Imperial 5 today, and chose not to upgrade the top or pickups, would would it come with?

[Just Thumpin']

A Flame Maple or Curly Walnut top are both standard tops -- solid ones on Bolt-ons and Deluxes and non-solid on Elites. We really no longer have "standard" pickups...we price them as chosen by the customer.

There is no charge for modifying any of the following either...

-Body shape (as long as it's based on one of our designs)
-Neck shape
-Scale length
-String Spacing
-Body thickness
-Control Layout
-Hardware Color
-Body Wood Selection (Walnut, Alder, Ash or Mahogany)
-FB Material (Indian RW, Pau Ferro, Ebony, Macassar Ebony -- Birdseye and Brazilian are options)
-PH layout

Hope that all makes sense!!

Jason,

To follow-up on what Joel asked and your reply to that, I'm assuming the price for dual coil pickups on the price list is with plastic covers? Or is it wood?

Just wondering what the pricing is for plastic covers versus wood?

Thanks for being helpful!

[Just Thumpin']

Dual Coils in Plastic Covers are $600 for 5 and 6-string and $500 for 4-string. Wooden covers add $650...

I hope you are well Bernie!

Hey, I was out of town when that happened.

Actually driving to Santa Cruz right now to see Hiromi trio project. Suppose I'll get to see a real AJ Presentation in person.

Makes total sense -- Thanks for the response. So the list price plus the cost of the pickups is the basic price of entry on the custom models?

Think you can select between those body woods - no additional cost.

The list price doesn't include pickups? :O

would be a funny thought that you order only a list price Bass and get it with no (or with even two big empty) pickup holes in the end

At least you get a Mike Pope preamp.
