FU-Tone Announces New FU PRO Electric Guitars
These colorful new axes sport EVH D-Tunas, FU-Tone Custom Humbucker pickups, and “San Dimas”-style alder bodies.
Tremolo upgrade specialist brand FU-Tone has announced its own line of electric guitars, the FU PRO series.
Sporting a “San Dimas”-style alder body, maple neck, and a choice of a maple or ebony fingerboard, each FU PRO series guitar features a FU-Tone FU2 Tremolo, which itself is built with a 42mm L brass big block, titanium saddle inserts, an EVH D-Tuna, heavy-duty noiseless springs, a brass claw, and a brass tremolo stopper that gives users the option to float or stabilize the bridge.
Sonically, the guitars pack FU-Tone Custom Humbucker pickups with individual coil tap switches, a wheel truss rod, and a kill switch.
FU-Tone's FU PRO guitars are available now – in Black, Ferrari Yellow, Natural, and Transparent Purple finishes and with a heavy duty padded gig bag – for $1,099.
