CURRENT STOCK- FIBENARE GUITARS
Details to come
A classic double cutaway style but in this case with a twist - the body conceals tone chambers giving this guitar greater resonance. A beautiful piece of quilted maple caps the mahogany body. This is a set neck guitar with a 1 piece mahogany neck and ebony fingerboard. One thing that strikes you about this guitar whether playing clean or distorted is the clarity from the pickups, every note comes through and it really allows the nuances of you playing to be heard. The front pickup gives a seriously warm mellow tone but with no muddiness and the bridge pickup has plenty of depth and bite. As you would expect there is plenty of sustain aided by the brass nut and the through body stringing. This guitar is far more versatile than you would expect as it copes with everything from clean jazz tones to singing distortion.
Although the Naturalis has a familiar outline that might bring to mind a bolt on neck guitar this actually has a set neck which has been blended beautifully with the body. The additional cutaway to the body allows great access to all 24 frets. The guitar has one volume and two tone controls with the additonal series/parallel switch for the custom humbuckers. In practice this wither rounds of the tone giving a smoother sound or a bit more 'bite' depending on setting. As you would expect from the construction this has a more rounded tone than a standard bolt-on but with a varied and usable selection of tones. This guitar definitely has some fantastic blues/rock tones and the neck encourages string bending. The guitar features a brass nut and through body stringing.
The Classic features an ash back with a AAAAA maple top and a flamed maple glued in neck, again with the amazingly smooth Fibenare neck joint. Two humbuckers and a double locking trem make this guitar ideal for rock and it doesnt disapoint delivering plenty of sustain but with great top end clarity so the guitar cuts through. The series/parallel switch gives added versatility and effectively rounds off the treble for a slightly warmer sound. There is easy access to all 24 frets and the trem does everything you would expect of it from down to slack to serious up bends. A single volume and tone and a three way selector control the trademark Fibenare pickups which give also give a great variety of clean tones.
This semi hollow guitar is a set neck design of mahogany with a quilted maple cap finished in 'Violin Burst' which lets the beauty of the wood shine through. As wih any handmade guitar this isn't quite the same as our other Basic Jazz (see above) and has a slightly more 'hollow' sound but with the same clarity and warmth. This has brass nut, through body stringing and a one piece mahogany neck with an ebony fingerboard.

******SOLD****Erotic Dalmat Trem £1950 *******See Review in Guitar Buyer November Issue******SOLD**
The flagship of the Fibenare range - a beautifully handcarved body in 5A Poplar and Alder in the unique Erotic shape. A high gloss finish shows off the natural wood to great advantage here. The neck is flame maple with a rosewood fingerboard, quie wide and flat with quite a rounded profile, and uses Fibenare's amazingly smooth neck joint. The body shape is very ergonomical and gives easy access to the 24 frets. This guitar sports the Fibenare T1000AL double locking tremelo system which leaves the strings parallel to the fretboard during use so there is no reduction in signal until the strings are completely loose. There are two of Fibenare's own wood covered humbuckers coupled to a master volume, tone and a series/parallel switch which gives some great variations in tone to make a versatile guitar. In a world where most guitars are slavish copies of the American greats it is nice to see some original thought and real craftsmanship.
