Because it just seems to work a bit easier given the flat pegheads of the NYC's / standards...a string tree gets in the way.

Cheers,

i have a question for you, jason.

is there a specific reason that you guys have the truss rod access on the body on the nyc models rather than the headstock access?

i assume it's because people want a more vintage experience, but i could be wrong.

Hi guys, no hijack intended here but I am not a Fodera owner however, today I had the chance to play a Fodera for the very first time in my life.
It was an Emperor II 5 with Masur Birch top....... I have always had an AJ Presentation as my 'Holy Grail' of basses, but now I'm convinced that anything coming out of the shop is 'Grail' worthy

I love my KZX 5 MTD and do love what Mike Tobias does, but after playing this Emperor II today I am gobsmacked, smacked down, down and out! :smug:

Incredible instrument. Worth the hype, worth the dough.

....speaking of dough, the obsession's been sparked now the saving begins :help:

Hello fellow Canuck! I share your dilemma. Unfortunately I wasn't able to stop at just one. Looks as though my 'Fodera Harem' will top out at six with the crown jewel being a real special bass Vinny is making me to commemorate their 30th Anniversary. :hyper:

Keep saving those loonies. It's worth it.

BTW, Mike Tobias is indeed another really great luthier. Every American Series bass I've had the pleasure of playing was a gem. Andrew Gouche makes his MTD basses sing.

Well, the next time I'm out your way I've gotta try and stop by if that's cool. And yes, that Emperor II is still lingering hehehehe

btw, the used Fodera 6 on your site looks incredible!
