FBD Custom Guitar

About Me

Welcome to FBD Custom Guitar and Bass!
Established 2008 FBD Custom guitars follow replicas of popular guitar body design (examples, telecaster, stingray, les paul, SG etc...).
Ontop of the low price of retailing replica guitars you can also choose for a low additional fee to customise your very own fret inlays (for example like mick thompson of thrash metal based band slipknot).
Orders take approximately 4 weeks to manufacture* and deliver so please do not wait until the last minute to order for that all important gig or photoshoot.
Please email [email protected] for quoting and ordering.
Alternatively feel free to add [email protected] to msn for live support or call 07799441644.
Delivery prices can be minimised by ordering more than one at a time or by collection.
These guitars are execeptionally priced and guaranteed to bring you happiness, most of these guitars as custom are only very slightly priced above if not less than what you would pay for a stock guitar in any guitar retail outlet.
FBD is currently looking into marketing wireless kits and general music shop equipment (picks, straps, effects pedals etc...)
Please note though in the future we may expand into drumming we only have plans of specialising in guitaring at this very moment in time.
Struggle to choose the right guitar?
The Gibson electric guitar sound: Gibson electric guitars, such as the popular Les Paul electric guitar and SG electric guitar, have a “fat,” blues tone. Gibson electric guitar aficionados include Jimmy Page, B. B. King, and Neil Young.
The Fender electric guitar sound: Fender electric guitars such as the Stratocaster electric guitar and Telecaster electric guitar are known for their thinner, more versatile sound. Jimi Hendrix, Eric Clapton, and Stevie Ray Vaughn are among those in the Fender electric guitar camp.
*Manufacture can in rare circumstances take slightly longer, mainly due to waiting lists, if asked you will be quoted a max ETA of your product. FBD retains the right to refuse sale until payment is recieved and cleared in full.
FBD operates sales with cheques made out to Gary Chase, If you wish to pay by other methods please enquire.FBD require 75% deposit on ordering, 25% follow up once the guitar is ready for delivary to client.

Q I'm a guitarist not a god damn luthier! how the hell should i know what materials to make my guitar from??

A Well for starters, if you have a guitar you particularly like, look online now and find out what materials it is structured from and copy them, if youre looking for a completely different tone and not sure how exactly to go about it then remember its typical to have the body, neck and fingerbord different to provide a range of tones, however this rule can be changed.
The tone is created primarily off the body however it then travels through the body into the neck where it is channeled by you finger back down to the string. all these processes are very important so please consider all aspects of this before picking your wood.
Here is a guide to wood acoustics, hope it helps;

The tone wood that makes up a solid-body electric guitar has a significant impact on how the instrument sounds, informing its tone and sustain. The most common woods for solid body electric guitars are mahogany and maple. Mahogany electric guitars offer a warm, round tone while maple, a stronger and denser wood, produces a brighter sound. You may also find electric guitars made of lighter-weight ash, which produces a ringing tone, or alder, which has a good tonal balance for a variety of musical styles.
