Circle Fretting System (C.F.S.)
All FGN guitars and basses are equipped with a unique system, the Circle Fretting System (C.F.S.). This system was created by FGN with the idea of providing better pitch and articulation than conventional guitars and basses. All frets are installed on the fingerboard in a slightly curved shape, so that each string crosses all the frets at 90 degrees, meaning to offer minimal string contact on a fret, and this makes the scale length of each string equal while it varies on conventional frets. The C.F.S. is a fretting solution on a traditional guitar and bass and it offers clearer articulation and tones that add dimension when you play a string and also cut through the mix when you play single notes.
