The
Malago "fb" is a version of the Malago with a floating bridge & tailpiece
instead of a regular fixed bridge.
The
design features ladder bracing for the top which along with the
floating bridge gives a "drier" tone than the
standard version which harks back to the vintage
Stella parlour guitars with an almost "triconey" midrange
punchiness and swifter decay reminiscant of the ultra-rare
Selmer Maccaferri Hawaiian Guitars, making it well suited
to playing
high staccato
single-note runs.
This distinctive voice makes it ideal for "Hot" Gypsy
Jazz or 1930s Paris-Style tunes.
The
Malago "fb" shares the same dimensions & offers
the same custom options available on
the standard model, including peghead logo
inlay,
custom fretboard
design,
fretboard
dot inlay, soundhole rosette, binding and finish choices.
The
floating bridge is constucted from solid rosewood, with
bone or brass saddle slotted to maintain string-spacing.
The
adjustable trapieze tailpiece is available in silver
or gold to match your choice of tuners.
Like
the regular Malago it has the hidden internal headblock profile
which reflects pressure-waves back along the hollow neck
for that
unique Bristolian sound.
