J STANDARD SERIES

THE DNA OF BEST M.I.J. INSTRUMENTS! 

Since 1960, the Japanese company Fugijen has been making exceptional guitars for the world’s leading brands.

In 2009, it created the FGN brand and immediately became known for its instruments with impeccable craftsmanship, combining innovation and quality. Today, FGN guitars represent one of the best quality/price ratios on the market!

J-STANDARD, A NEW REFERENCE

The J-Standards series features premium attributes worthy of high-end models:

  • Circle Fretting System (C.F.S.) for an optimal 90° fret/string angle across the entire neck
  • Compound radius (10′-14′) for great playing comfort
  • Fret edge hand treatment
  • Beveled heels for easy access to the higher frets
  • Z-Axis Deep Joint — 1 mm deeper neck joint socket to reduce the body/strings distance
