Amphion 16″ – Semihollow Guitar. Amphion is our full-body, semi-hollow, single cutaway guitar, built with classic lines and traditional craftsmanship.
We use premium-grade tonewoods to construct it, ensuring consistent tonal stability and resonance. Each wood layer is carefully selected and laminated, while tone characteristics of the top and back are evaluated individually to achieve a balanced voice.
A solid center block, crafted from selected American maple and spruce, connects the two hollow compartments. This structure enhances acoustic “breathing” and creates harmonious vibrations.
Players can choose between a Bigsby tremolo or a classic stoptail bridge, depending on their style.
We equip Amphion with two hand-wound VF-59 Vintage humbuckers that offer warm, articulate tones and excellent response. This versatile setup covers a broad range of genres and playing techniques.
Handmade laminated plates. We carefully select and laminate the wood layers for the tops and backs of our hollow and semi-hollow models.
Throughout the process, we check the tone characteristics of each plate.
We adjust their thickness and hardness to achieve a balanced tone.
Three-piece neck. All our guitars feature a three-piece neck.
This design increases stability and helps control the neck’s elasticity.
Varitone RLC Notch Filter. The varitone circuit acts as an RLC notch filter added to the guitar’s main circuit.
It uses various capacitors to reduce frequencies at specific points within the overall bandwidth. Rotating the varitone from position 1 to position 5 shifts the filter’s center frequency (f0) from higher to lower frequencies.
To achieve the best results, the circuit’s characteristics must adjust according to the guitar’s main circuit specifications—such as pickups, pots, capacitors, and cable types.
We carefully tailor these settings to optimize the varitone’s performance.
VF-15 Classic pickups. This pickup offers moderate output and versatility, ideal for sweet, sustained lead tones.
Description
We build this balanced humbucker set using custom winding specs and an Alnico 5 bar magnet.
It delivers strong sustain, smooth crunch, and rich midrange tones.
Our team hand-winds each pickup in the Fremediti workshop.
We use a nickel bottom plate with long mounting legs, a 2-conductor lead wire, and apply wax potting to ensure squeal-free performance.
VF-17 Plus pickups. The VF-17 Plus delivers high-output versatility as a humbucker set.
Description
This pickup offers a unique full tone and balances bass, mids, and treble with precision. Its even response makes it highly adaptable across genres and playing styles.
We wind this set in our Fremediti workshop, use an Alnico 5 bar magnet and pair it with a nickel bottom plate and 4-conductor shielded cable. The VF-17 Plus allows multiple wiring options and undergoes vacuum wax potting for squeal-free performance.
VF-59 Vintage pickups. This set offers a modern twist on the iconic 1950s P.A.F. humbucker design.
We wind each pickup in our Fremediti workshop using top-quality US components. These include nickel bottom plates, custom-machined metal and maple spacers, 2-conductor shielded cables, and vacuum wax potting for squeal-free performance.
You can order VF-59 Vintage pickups unpotted for authentic 1950s P.A.F. specs. Choose between long or short feet to fit any guitar design.
VF-P90 Vintage pickups. This pickups accurately recreate the very first single-coils and capture the signature midrange grittiness that defines the P90 sound.
Description
The dual Alnico 5 bar magnets and short, wide bobbins give the P90 its unique voice. This design produces a powerful midrange and more output than most single-coils.
The bridge pickup delivers sparkly mids and a gritty, open tone. The neck position offers a sweet, smooth response with big, fat-sounding chords.
We wind the VF-P90 Vintage in our Fremediti workshop using plain enamel wire. It includes a vintage braided single-conductor cable and wax potting for squeal-free performance.
