FGN Neo Classic JB-100 5 Vintage Natural ( Japanese )

All FGN guitars and basses are equipped with the unique Circle Fretting System (C.F.S.). Developed by FGN, this system aims to deliver superior intonation and articulation compared to conventional guitars and basses. All frets are embedded into the fretboard in a slightly curved pattern, ensuring that every string intersects every fret at a precise 90-degree angle. This guarantees minimal contact between the string and the fret, while also ensuring an exactly uniform scale length for each individual string—an aspect that, with traditional fretting, effectively varies. The C.F.S. represents an innovative solution for the fretting of traditional guitars and basses; it facilitates clearer articulation and a more nuanced tone—one that adds depth to chords and cuts through the band mix optimally when playing single notes.

The Neo Classic series is a tribute to old classics with its own unique facets. With their traditional playing feel, they are a workhorse for concert, touring, and studio musicians. The solid and precise construction guarantees optimal sound and a great playing experience! The frets used by FGN for the CFS are made of regular, non-pre-bent fret material. They get their radius by inserting them into the grooves milled into the fingerboard with a radius, making them easy to replace by a luthier if refretting is necessary!

The FGN J-Bass represents classic sound and modern precision. With its clear, punchy tone and excellent playability, it offers everything a true J-Bass needs – and more. Ideal for bassists looking for a versatile instrument that excels both in the studio and on stage.
