Donavon Frankenreiter is a laid back professional surfer with a passion for the guitar. As a professional musician as well, his specific taste for lush melodies and exquisite tones gave birth to the FC model, which we are proud to present to you today. The FC guitar reflects Donavon’s vintage vibe and unique beach style, thus producing the ultimate modern vintage sound. The guitar’s chill vibe echoes the salt life. Feel the waves rocking you with this signature headstock design, inspired by the traditional Hawaiian fishing hook. The offset waist and asymmetrical bouts are balanced, while remaining fluid, and the traditional bridge and tail piece enhance the overall feel of this modern guitar. Keep on strumming!
