Sorry, this item is not available.

A meticulously crafted electric guitar with innovative ergonomic design for effortless playability.

The Fodera Monarch S3 is a handcrafted electric guitar born from decades of luthier passion and expertise in Brooklyn, NY. Its innovative design melds classic tonewoods and time-honored guitar traditions into a streamlined, ergonomic form factor. Whether you play blazing leads or intricate chords, the Monarch S3 will inspire your playing with its exceptional feel and responsiveness.

Compact Body Contours For Maximum Playability

From the moment you take the Monarch S3 out of the case, its compact body feels like an extension of your own hands. Carefully sculpted contours and ergonomic lines give it a "broken-in" playing feel without compromising resonance. The reduced size provides unrestricted access to the entire fingerboard, whether you're executing challenging riffs or venturing into the upper frets. Yet the Monarch S3 retains a balanced voice ideal for everything from rich chords to searing leads.

Carved Dovetail Neck Joint Optimized For Expression

The Monarch S3's dovetail neck joint is a work of engineering artistry from Fodera's Brooklyn luthiers. Its carved heel allows completely uninhibited access to the uppermost frets, opening up your entire musical range. The rounded neck profile feels luxurious as you wrap your hand around it, facilitating effortless bending and chordal work. Every nuance of your phrasing rings through with stunning clarity.

Perfectly Balanced 25.125" Scale Length

Fodera selected the 25.125" scale length for the Monarch S3 to deliver ideal string tension and responsiveness. Notes ring out with a focused, present character that cuts through any mix. Yet the moderate tension provides a satisfying give when bending strings. Chords bloom with even harmonic overtones across each string's entire range. Whether playing intricate melodies or strumming rich chord voicings, the Monarch S3's scale length puts your performance in the sweet spot.

Handcrafted Artistry Merging Tradition And Innovation

Like all Fodera instruments, the Monarch S3 represents the pinnacle of handcrafted luthiery. Its premium tonewoods have been carefully selected, carved and finished by expert hands in Brooklyn. Elegant touches like its carved dovetail neck joint reveal an obsessive attention to detail. Yet the Monarch S3 also showcases innovative thinking, fusing elements from multiple guitar-making traditions into a streamlined, player-focused design. Experience this remarkable synthesis of old-world craftsmanship and forward-thinking ingenuity first-hand.
