Fodera

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Fodera is a noted American manufacturer of Electric Bass Guitars. Fodera Basses are made in the Fodera Shop in Brooklyn, New York. Vinnie Fodera started his own company around 1983. Fodera basses are known for extremely good craftsmanship, use of exotic woods and natural finishes, exclusively handmade instruments, and innovative pickup systems. Fodera does not manufacture guitars, instead producing basses exclusively. Fodera Basses are often fairly expensive due to the materials and craftsmanship involved. Foderas are recognizable by the inlaid butterfly on the headstock of most of their models of Bass.
