GIFFIN GUITARS

Roger Giffin's career in guitars started during the 60's and 70's, when he played in various bands around the South of England. Frustrated at his inability to afford a good instrument he set about to make one himself, and embarked on a career as a luthier. His first workshop was located under a bridge by the river Thames in London. Giffins workshop soon became a meeting place for many well known British players looking for guitars, repairs and set-ups. In these early years he worked for Eric Clapton, Pete Townshend and John Entwhistle (The Who), Mark Knopfler (Dire Straits), Andy Summers (The Police) and David Gilmour (Pink Floyd) amongst others.

FULLERTON

Fullerton was a Korean or Chinese made brand offering electric guitars (including strat and Mosrite copies) as well as jazz guitars, acoustic guitars and basses. Aria introduced a Fullerton series of stratocaster inspired guitars in the mid 1990s. G&L also have a Fullerton range. These brand and model names all allude to Fullerton, California where Leo Fender founded the Fender Electric Instrument Manufacturing Company in 1946.

FODERA

Vinny Fodera and Joey Lauricella founded Fodera Guitars in 1983. Fodera was a skilled luthier and Lauricella a professional bass player. Together they began to build distinctive, handmade basses. Since opening the doors of its first small shop in Brooklyn, NY, the reputation of Fodera Guitars grown and today musicians from across the globe play Fodera custom basses and solid body electric guitars.

FLOYD ROSE

Floyd Rose invented the locking tremolo system in 1976. A series of artist endorsements, most notably Eddie Van Halen, led to commercial success and the Floyd Rose tremolo was patented and mass-manufactured with Kramer.As of 2005, distribution of the Floyd Rose Original reverted to Floyd Rose, while the patented designs are still licensed to other manufacturers for use.  The Floyd Rose brand exists now as a division of AP International, under the direction of Andrew Papiccio, former Vice President of Kramer guitars. AP has been dealing with the manufacture, distribution, sales and marketing of musical instruments and accessories on a global scale for over 30 years.

Fleishman

Harry Fleishman began making instruments in 1969. He began designing custom instruments in an attempt to combine my loves of music and art, making instruments that were fun and original. Over the next few  decades he developed the voice of his guitars and began experimenting with new shapes, multi-wood tops, multiple soundholes, asymmetry, and unusual bracings. Fleishman basses & guitars are played by many pro musicians including: Dave Pomeroy, Scott Bennett and George Holmes.
