2008 Stephen Marchione 'FGC Special'
Stephen Marchione
Our clients have enjoyed special hand made electrics we've offered over the years. Here is one that is not flashy, but like an understated race car--built for optimum performance. Imagine how it is for a batter stepping up to home plate. Connecting on the swing with that hardball generates a shock wave that reverberates down the length of the bat. The musical equivalent is, thankfully, more sensual and just as satisfying.

It is this Marchione SolidBodyNeck™ guitar that is carved from one single block of old growth mahogany! What could be better than a perfectly fitted neck joint to transfer the energy from the body vibration to the neck? No neck joint.

You get pure, total energy reaction, vibration, and singing sustain every time your pick fires off a note! The high level of art and science necessary to execute a guitar like this is not found every day. Kudos to Stephen Marchione for consistently being able to sculpt fine old tonewood into living, breathing guitars. We have several very happy players who use their SolidBodyNeck™ guitars for Blues, Jazz, Pop, and Rock. Georg Wadenius of Steely Dan, Faton Macula of both Mark Anthony and Luis Miguel's bands, and Mark Whitfield, who recently toured worldwide with Sting, all play Marchione electrics.

The photos of this SolidBodyNeck™ only hint at the beauty of the wood grain turned by nature and Stephen Marchione's hands. You can take in the dramatic pattern in the broader expanse of this one-piece design. With the exception of his locking Sperzel tuners, Marchione has his hardware and pickups made to proprietary specs. Not only is the sound from his humbuckers vintage creamy smooth, but his impeccable neck angle, fret job, and setup make his guitars studio perfect. The nut width is right at about 1.72" and the SolidBodyNeck™ guitar weighs in just over 6lbs. (about 3 Kilos for you clients outside the USA). 3 guitars of this model, created for Fine Guitar Consultants, are available now. Give Richard a call to put your name on this one.

$6,900 with newly designed 'Marchione Red' custom hard shell case..
