Mark Edgington of ME Guitars:
"The guitar skins are moulded using high grade
carbon fibre and cured in an autoclave oven which applies high heat, pressure and vacuum. The
end result is a Carbon component that is consolidated to 1.3mm thick with virtually no resin content
and has extraordinary acoustic properties. This is also the same method
of production thats used in Formula One and Aerospace industry.
I have changed the construction so that it's made in two components as opposed to four with an internal
structure that maintains the strength from the bridge to the headstock producing maximum sustain.
Down the length of the neck there are two channels moulded into the carbon fibre underneath the fretboard
which creates a strong stucture without the need for a truss rod. The neck is so strong that it will
not be distorted at all by string tension
and is also temperature resistant.
I have redisigned the neck to body join so that there is maximum access to the 24th fret.
The composite core material used inside the body (still under intellectual property scrutiny) is designed to reduce the feedback
you would normally get in hollow body guitars but is also lightweight and adds to the compressional strength of the guitar
body.
The overall performance of the FM1 is a lightweight versatile guitar with a rich range of highs and lows with semiacoustic
overtones, from a clean crisp response to the power of the EMGs to deliver for the serious rocker - a quality guitar for
the serious player."
