The Iliad (IL) series was created based on our expertise in producing traditional T-style guitars. Keeping the traditional feel in mind, the IL comes with various modern features that meet a wide range of player's needs across all genres.

All FGN guitars and basses come with a unique Circle Fretting System (C.F.S.). It was created by FGN based on an idea to offer better pitch and articulation than conventional guitars and basses. All frets are installed on the fingerboard in a slightly curved shape, so that every string crosses all the frets in 90 degrees, i.e. to offer a minimum contact of string on a fret, and it makes the scale length of every string even while it actually varies on conventional fretting. The C.F.S. is a solution of fretting on a traditional guitar and bass and it offers clearer articulation and tones which give dimension when you play a cord and also cut through the mix when you play single notes.

The compound radius fingerboard has a smaller (rounder) radius towards the nut while a larger (flatter) radius towards the neck end i.e. similar to the shape of a cone. This allows for much easier chord playing at lower frets while having less stress, especially when bending strings at higher registers.

664mm (26.1") long scale neck. 16mm (0.6") longer than the regular long scale works well with down tuned heavy gauge strings yet can be played like a regular guitar.
