Amphion AC-P is our full size hollow-body, single cutaway guitar, with classic lines that takes much inspiration from our archtop models.
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-P , 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.
It comes equipped with a handmade ebony piezo acoustic bridge and a pair of hand-wound VF-10 Jazz custom humbucker pickups.
The Fremediti acoustic /electric onboard control system allows the player to manage the unique amplified qualities of this polyvalent guitar.

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.
Our Fremediti tailpiece suspension is a patented original design that contributes to the playability of the guitar.
Each string has its own specific individual suspension spring, that works in parallel to the tailpiece, resulting in a much "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.
Our Fremediti tailpiece is machined from titanium alloy, providing added stability and reduced weight.
Finally, a handcrafted ebony with exotic top cover, adds to the classic aesthetics of the guitar.
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.
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.
Our VF-10 jazz pickup set is a vintage-output humbucker that can stay clear even under distortion.
