FGN J STANDARD ILIAD JIL2 ASH ML LEFT HANDED IN OFF WHITE BLONDE

If you’re accustomed to playing high end Japanese-made instruments, the likelihood is that you’ve already played an FGN (Fujigen); the company originally built its reputation as an OEM manufacturer for the world’s most respected brands. Now, with their own range of guitars, they exercise creative independence over instrument design, while maintaining their time-won attention to detail.

This Tele-style Iliad JIL2ASHML model benefits from FGN’s unique Circle Fretting System (C.F.S.). Slightly curved frets are mounted so as to ensure that each string and fret intersects at right angles, minimizing the contact surface. The result is accurate pitch, cleaner, longer sustain and true harmonics. Another unique feature – the J-Standard Fret Edge treatment – contributes to much smoother fingering. On this latest model, a compound radius fretboard has been fitted with a smaller 250mm radius towards nut and larger 350mm radius towards neck. This allows for much easier chord playing at lower frets with improved string-bending at higher registers. A sculpted neck heel also allows for much greater comfort when playing higher up.

Unique features and outstanding build quality are met by top-quality components. The J Standard Iliad JIL2 ASH ML is fitted with Gotoh SD91-05M Magnum Lock tuners, resulting in silky smooth tuning action, superb tuning stability, and lightning fast string changes. Two Seymour Duncan Pickups have been fitted – a STR-1 in the neck and a Vintage ’54 Tele STL-1 in the bridge. The 4-way pickup switch opens up a new range of tonal options, allowing the bridge and neck pickups to be wired in series for humbucking tones.
