FTM33 is Fredrik's self-designed signature model called "Stoneman". Here it is completely Fredrik's head that controlled everything on the instrument, so there has probably never been a more "signature model" than Stoneman. Besides the obvious aesthetic differences from Meshugga's previous, and extremely successful, M8M and M80M models, there is a shorter scale on the neck of the Stoneman. It also has a collar, which Fredrik has started to use more and more recently.
Other features are Luminlay luminous side markers on the neck, a must on dark stages. Through neck for stability and strength to be a tour-ready instrument. FX EDGE III-8 bridge, a lockable fixed bridge for perfect tuning stability with a low "damping friendly" profile. 7 part, neck through, neck with KTS titanium reinforcement provides an extremely stable construction.
A fully customized instrument designed to be Fredrik's ultimate metal guitar.
If it is the ultimate for Fredrik, they are for us too.
