Friedman

collapse expand iconDescription

Combining the talents and experience of Dave Friedman and Grover Jackson —two of the finest creators in the industry — Friedman Guitars creates no-compromise instruments that combine the best of classic and modern styles and features. The Cali captures the spirit of Jackson's early work at this San Dimas shop with a vintage feel that delivers on modern playability. Built from carefully hand-selected tonewoods and featuring Plek-finished fretwork and Friedman's spectacular pickup designs, these instruments are spectacular performers. The fit and finish is astounding, and the exclusive Zero-Shift Neck Pin neck joint fuses the neck and body for maximum vibration transfer. Concluding with a carefully sprayed and aged nitrocellulose lacquer finish, these are instruments you'll be thrilled to play and enjoy for years to come.

    I wouldn't waste my money on what's basically a Charvel, probably has Seymour Duncan or DiMarzio pickups with the Friedman name on them. Friedman makes killer amps, but their overpriced like this axe, I've played one of these guitars and it is what I said, basically a Charvel

    Hello, I'm interested in buying one of the Friedman Cali Relic guitars; Question - will I receive the ACTUAL guitar that is in the picture above? I'm asking because I know relicing can be quite varied and I want to make sure the one I'm getting is to my liking. Thanks, Will
