The Odyssey (OS) series is the very first original FGN guitar. It was designed with precision & detail stemming from a long history of guitar manufacturing experience. These guitars are relatively simple with a traditional taste yet sport very useful modern & practical features for today's musicians.
FGN Guitars with Circle Fretting System (C.F.S.) for Exceptional Tone and Precision
FGN guitars and basses feature the exclusive Circle Fretting System (C.F.S.), designed to enhance pitch accuracy and tonal clarity. By installing frets in a slightly curved shape, each string crosses the frets at a 90-degree angle, minimizing contact for precise articulation. This innovative design creates even scale lengths across all strings, delivering clear tones and rich harmonics that make both chords and single notes stand out.
Premium Features for Unmatched Playability
- Compound Radius Fingerboard: This design provides a smaller radius near the nut for easier chord play and a flatter radius toward the neck for smooth string bending in higher registers.
- Maple Quarter-Sawn Neck with Luminous Side Dots: A sturdy, quarter-sawn maple neck with luminous side dots helps you navigate the fretboard even in low light.
- Rolled Edge Fingerboard with Narrow-Tall Frets: The rolled edge and narrow-tall nickel silver frets, combined with FGN’s expert fret edge treatment, offer a comfortable and smooth playing experience.
- FGN Three-String Tree and GOTOH Magnum Lock Tuners: These high-quality GOTOH tuners provide vintage style and locking capability for stable tuning.
- Versatile Pickup Configuration and GOTOH 510 Tremolo Bridge: The FGN XPERT humbucker and OS-2 single-coil pickups, paired with a 5-way switch and mini tricky switches, offer a wide range of tones, from vintage warmth to modern clarity.
