Combining precision craftsmanship, innovative technology, and a deep passion for music and the art of luthiery, Fodera has created a family of instruments that sing with a sweet, pure voice. The Imperial is their take on iconic single-cutaway, two-pickup design, but with additions and improvements that take it far beyond it's 1950's roots while delivering the warm, punchy tones you expect from an instrument inspired by that lineage.
