Amphion AC - Acoustic / Electric, Hollow / semi-hollow body


Amphion AC is our full size hollow-body, single cutaway guitar, with classic lines that takes much inspiration from our Eumelia.

It uses our Fremediti patented suspension tailpiece.  Our tailpiece is custom made out of titanium alloy and features 6 different density independent spring suspensions (one for each string), with parallel to the strings movement. This design is not in any contact with the guitar top, so it allows the top to vibrate freely and at the same time it offers a softer, more comfortable feel on the neck.

Premium grade tonewoods are used for the construction of Amphion AC, offering exceptional constancy in stability and tone. We carefully select and laminate the wood layers one by one, checking, through process, the tone characteristics of each top and back, achieving a balanced tone character.

A piezo acoustic handmade ebony bridge and a VF-01 Archtop floating pickup provide an extended tone variety.

The Fremediti acoustic /electric onboard control system allows the player to manage the unique amplified qualities of this polyvalent guitar.

      Features

      Fremediti Acoustic/Electric System

      A system designed to manage the choice of acoustic or electric sounds as well as the unlimited possibilities of mixing them.

      Additionally, the system provides an acoustic pickup face selector, separate tone control for acoustic and electric sounds as well as a master volume control.

      Fremediti Titanium Tailpiece

      Our Fremediti tailpiece suspension is a patented original design that contributes to the playability of the guitar.

      On the tailpiece there is a suspension system which absorbs a small part of the string tension when we press the strings against the frets, resulting in a "lighter" feeling on the strings, especially on string bends. Further to that this, the tailpiece suspension mechanism does not have any contact with the soundboard, allowing it to vibrate and “breath” effortlessly, preserving this way the acoustic characteristics of the guitar.
      In addition this system absorbes a part of the structural stress, created from bending, preserving this way the structural integrity of the more delicate materials and construction used on an acoustic instrument.

      Our Fremediti tailpiece is machined from titanium alloy, providing added stability and reduced weight, while at the same time making the sound brighter and cleaner.

      Finally, an ebony cover with exotic top veneer, adds to the classic aesthetics of the guitar.

      Fremediti Piezo Bridge

      Height adjustable ebony bridge with a specially undersaddle Fishman acoustic piezo pickup and 1/8” width ebony saddle.

      The 1/8”ebony saddle width allows the achievement of a perfect intonation by giving the exact shape at the point of each string.

      Handmade Laminated Plates

      We carefully select and laminate the wood layers for our tops and backs.

      We form their thickness and hardness accordingly, checking the tone characteristics of each top and back plate throughout the process, until we achieve a balanced tone character.

      VF-01 Archtop

      A low profile, naturally voiced, humbucking pickup for acoustic and electric archtop guitars.

      Description
      A pickup designed for the true acoustic archtop purist with no routed pickup into the guitars top.

      This pickup is naturally-voiced, allowing the balance, warmth and richness of a fine archtop to present its true acoustic tone. It is mounted to the fingerrest without touching the top of the guitar.

      It is wound in our Fremediti workshop the VF-01 archtop uses an alnico 5 bar magnet, 2-conductor shielded cable and it is vacuum wax potted for squeal-free performance.

      Wooden Binding and Purfling

      We wanted to offer an impeccable aesthetic appearance to our top of the line archtop and hollow-body models.

      Our Eumelia and Polymnia, as well as Amphion AC and Euphony AC, come with wooden bindings, multiply wooden purfling, multiply veneers and strips in every possible area.

      The same aesthetic detailed craft is applied also to the f-holes of the above models.
