I recently got hold of the Hadrien Feraud Burner that was up for sale at The Gallery and I love it. Been looking for a good five string with 17.5mm string spacing for a while now. It’s definitely the sweet spot for me having played Warwick fives for so long in the past. 
The Smith is a really good weight (just over 4kg) but it is a bit neck-divey; currently investigating wider straps to try to solve that little niggle. Just slapped some Dunlop Super Brights on it and it’s really singing.

I’d definitely recommend checking them out if you’re after a really clean and fat sounding five-string. 

Was it the recent flame top one or the older red one?

The flame top Hadrien Feraud signature. As soon as played it in the shop I knew I was in trouble…

I didn't see it but kept going back to the page more than is healthy. Especially since I just bought a buckeye burl one. Lovely looking bass!

I’m looking for an older model Hadrien Feraud Signature with a top wood, but it seems impossible to find one anywhere in the world. I even contacted Sleek Elite, and they told me the earliest they could build one would be in 2028.

 

This whole thing has started to feel a bit surreal for me.

If you happen to come across a used HF Signature for sale anytime soon, I’d really appreciate it if you could send me a message.

 

Much love,

Actually, my goal is to find an HF Signature that’s not from the E Series — but it seems like the older ones with top woods and 3-piece necks are no longer being made like before.

Is the one you ordered from the E Series, or is it one of the higher-spec models?
Also, do you have any estimated delivery date for when it will arrive?
