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.
The VF-15 classic is a moderate output versatile humbucker set for those sweet sustained lead tones.
Description
Made with our custom winding specs combined with an alnico 5 bar magnet, this balanced set provides sustain, crunch, and midrange.
It is wound in our Fremediti workshop and features a nickel bottom plate with long mounting legs, 2-conductor lead wire and wax potting for squeal-free performance.
The VF-17 plus is a high output versatile humbucker set.
Description
It has a unique full tone and offers an excellent balance of bass, mids & treble. This even response makes it extremely versatile and great for all types of music and playing styles.
Uses an alnico 5 bar magnet, nickel bottom plate, 4-conductor shielded cable for multiple wiring options and it is vacuum wax potted for squeal-free performance.
Our VF-59 Vintage is our take, with a twist, to the famous P.A.F design of the 50’s iconic humbuckers.
They are wound in our Fremediti workshop featuring all US top quality components as, nickel bottom plates, custom machined metal spacers & maple spacers, 2-conductor shielded cables and vacuum wax potting for squeal-free performance and they are carrying some unique tone characteristics as:
- Clean and articulate sound with a lot of sustain, attack and exceptional note separation, allowing complex chords to shine even under high gain.
- Perfectly balanced frequency response that combines a soft, sweet treble attack with a warm, full sounding low-end, through the complete range of the fretboard.
- Wide range of dynamics and harmonics.
- Unchanged sound character in ultra clean or heavily distorted sounds.
- Airy openness to the top-end providing clarity and articulation to chords.
Our VF-59 Vintage pickups can be ordered unpotted for that genuine 50’s P.A.F. specs and with long or short feet in order to accommodate all guitar designs.
Our vintage accurate recreation set of the very first single-coils and with all of the midrange grittiness that makes the P90 pickups so unique.
Description
The dual alnico 5 bar magnets and the short wide bobbins give the P90 its unique tonal character with a powerful midrange and higher output than most other types of single coils.
In the bridge position, the pickup has sparkly mids that really give it a gritty, open tone, while the neck position sounds sweet and smooth and delivers some big fat sounding chords.
Our VF-P90 vintage is wound in our Fremediti workshop, using plain enamel wire, it has vintage braided single-conductor hookup cable and is wax potted for squeal free-performance.
