For sale is my wonderful Fodera Custom Monarch 5-string Bolt-On. It was built in September 2019 and it is in pristine condition – there are no dents or scratches and the frets are like new. It has a slightly thinner body ( like the Fodera Select Series ) and chambers to reduce the weight. It comes in at just 3,9kg, which is really light for a Fodera 5er. In conjunction with the 33“ scale and the 16,5mm spacing, this Fodera feels super compact and is very easy to play – you won’t find many Foderas with this specs on the secondhand market. It is currently setup B-G which works great, but you can also convert it to E-C, of course. Also, the Holly-Top is very clean and was a significant upcharge. A new Monarch 5 with this specs would be over 10000€ with all the additional costs ( shipping, customs, tax ).
I would like to get 6000€ for mine ( includes the original Fodera Hardshell Case and insured shipping in europe ).
