Fibenare Guitars are hand-built in Hungary by the three Benedek brothers. They have been building guitars on a professional basis since the mid 1990's. Coming from a musical family, their guitar building began out of necessity as American or Japanese guitars at the time were very expensive.
Fibenare guitars are entirely handmade (no CNC work) using traditional methods. The guitar bodies and necks are crafted from a combination of the finest selected tonewoods including maple, mahogany, ash, poplar, rosewood and ebony. Although the guitars are available in a number of colour options the brothers prefer the natural wood and all guitars come with beautiful figured tops.
All the guitar parts (with the exception of the tuners) are handbuilt by Fibenare including the handwound pickups with wooden covers and the vibrato units.
Fibenare guitars have an enviable reputation for being of the very finest quality, check out the neck joint shown on the right, with outstanding playability and unique tones. Their increased profile has been helped by consistently great reviews from the specialist press and players alike. The attention these guitars have garnered in the US and Europe made it an easy decision to bring these guitars to the UK and these should be a 'must try' if you are in the market for something a litle special.
The full range is shown below although Fibenare can custom build guitars to customers specifications. All the guitars feature set neck construction and are available with or without vibrato system. The latest T1000AL locking tremelo system keeps the strings parallel to the fretboard during use which is a particular advantage to anyone using a Roland synth pickup. The Basic Jazz is a semi-hollow design which gives a particularly unique tone.
