You lay it down, the Valkyria will pick it up...
From Fodera Newborn/Custom description
"A truly one-of-a-kind Fodera in virtually every way. Starting with the same shape as Anthony Jackson's Presentation, nearly everything else about this instrument is unique. A super-thick, chambered Mahogany body with a Swamp Ash Tone Block, 36-inch scale, unlined fretless Ebony fingerboard (boasting 28 positions), Fodera / Duncan Dual Coil Pickups and a complete 3-band Fodera / Pope Custom Shop Preamp.

The tone that this instrument is capable of is simply awe-inspiring. With an open-B string that sounds like a fine grand piano and a depth and clarity to each note that is almost three dimensional with a sense of being able to hang, suspended in the air...wow. Words fail me."
