Hey guys :)

 

Short back story, I first played a Fodera (chestnut topped Garrison signature) back in 2011, and I came away from that experience thinking that that was just about the best instrument I'd ever played. I later had the chance to play a 33" scale monarch 6 string and a couple of days later I started saving....fast forward a few years, and alll the stars finally lined up in March of last year, and my bass went into production in mid Feb of this year! Specs are as follows

 

Monarch 6 string Elite

32" scale length 

3 piece red oak neck (thin profile)

Ebony fingerboard (blank)

Walnut body, alder tone block

Solid flame Koa top, matching headstock

26 frets (small)

16.5mm spacing

Ebony ramp and pickup covers

Fodera/Duncan dual coils

Pope custom shop preamp, Garrison control layout

Black hardware

 

I got my progress photos from Fodera yesterday and its safe to say I'm pretty thrilled with the way my bass is turning out thus far! :) She's on schedule for final setup one week today, so assuming all goes well I'm hoping to take delivery sometime in the second week of April, at which point I'll add the unboxing/NBD photos!

 

UPDATE: She's been completed!!!
