[quote name='molan' post='1031519' date='Nov 21 2010, 05:21 PM']I don't think it's makes a huge difference but I have it on pretty good authority from a real Fodera expert that it's a Monarch 4 with a "Classic" peghead.
Core differences between a VW and a 'standard Monarch are:
VW has the wider classic headstock shape (which yours has), MOP Tulips at the 12th and 24th frets (which yours doesn't) and the FB material is 'Old Growth' Indian Rosewood (which I can't tell from the pics, lol).[/quote]
Here is the answer from Fodera:
It is a kind of "hybrid." In all respects, it is a Vic Wooten Classic,
however, the FB does not have Tulips on the 12th and 24th positions.
Woods are exactly the same as a VW Classic, except this has a Quilt Maple
Top...
So, Mahogany body, East Indian Rosewood FB, Quilt Maple top...
