I find most Foderii attractive, but those aren't aesthetically pleasing IMO. |

Jason mentioned there was a time (before he joined the company) that Fodera would make a bass without the butterfly logo. They no longer will do this.

Best way to avoid placing an order for a $5-10k Fofera IMO? DO NOT play one!

| | | I checked out fodera's site to see if GTRstore is an official dealer and to my surprise, they are  - http://www.fodera.com/PublicPages/FoderaDealers.aspx
Seems like those two are just weird looking customs

Seafoam always looks killer. That's why I got one of these in seafoam green. http://www.musiciansfriend.com/guita...lectric-guitar
And with the money I saved from buying a Fodera I can buy 37 more. : ) | | Thread Tools | Search this Thread | | | |
