For sale Fodera Emperor Custom - SoCal

For sale only is a beautiful Fodera Emperor Custom. This bass gets amazing comments every time someone sees it. Here is the info from the guy I traded for it:

It is in excellent condition with no marks or scratches apart from a very small mark on the back edge. A picture of this included.

The original owner, who is a Fodera endorser, says it has the optional semi hollow construction and weighs 9.3 lbs. The neck is very slightly slimmer than the carve on the Fodera Joey Special. Abalone butterfly.
Custom Knobs installed, original ones will be included.
Ships in a Fodera hard case which has a small amount of damage on a corner, see pictures..

The appraisal from Fodera states cost of $11,350 to replace this Custom one.

Red pick guard, tool set, COA, Appraisal, and Fodera polishing cloth included, see picture. This is one of the lighter Fodera's I have found, but I find that my old back doesn't like anything heavier than 9 lbs and the lighter the better.

My price is $6400 OBO including insured shipping (CONUS) and PP G&S fees, also accept Venmo. Discount for an in person deal in Southern CA. Not open to trades. Let me know if you have any questions or would like other images. Must thin the herd!
