Description

The Frank Brothers Arcade guitar is a harmonious blend of classic design and modern craftsmanship, crafted for musicians who demand both style and substance. This solid body electric guitar exudes an aura of timeless sophistication, featuring a Korina body and neck that provide a resonant and balanced tonal foundation. The Madagascar Ebony fretboard is not only smooth and responsive but also visually striking with its split parallelogram inlays, reminiscent of vintage elegance.

The '57 "V" neck shape is tailored for comfort, offering a familiar yet distinct feel that encourages effortless playability, while the 12" fretboard radius makes bending notes a breeze. With a scale length of 25", this guitar maintains a taut string tension, perfect for articulate playing and clear intonation. Equipped with the FBGC "V.O" humbucker set, the Arcade delivers a versatile tonal palette, from warm, rich lows to bright, singing highs, controlled through its intuitive two-volume, two-tone setup and a 3-way toggle switch.

Encased in a robust Hiscox hard case, the Frank Brothers Arcade is as much a visual masterpiece as it is a sonic powerhouse, ready to accompany you from the studio to the stage with confidence and flair.

Frank Brothers Arcade Model Review

guitar.com

The Frank Brothers Arcade Model showcases exceptional craftsmanship and a stunning aesthetic that captivates at first glance. With a solid mahogany body and versatile P-90 pickups, it delivers a modern twist on classic tones, encouraging players to explore new sonic territories. However, while its build quality is commendable, it lacks the raw edge found in some vintage counterparts, potentially leaving traditionalists wanting more grit. The weight and balance are expertly managed, making it comfortable for extended play, yet some may find it less familiar compared to older models. Overall, the Arcade Model is a beautifully made instrument perfect for those seeking innovation in their sound, though it might not appeal to every vintage purist.

Frank Brothers Guitar Company Puts a Fresh Spin on Retro Guitar Design With its Arcade Doublecut Electric | GuitarPlayer

guitarplayer.com

The Frank Brothers Arcade delivers a fresh take on classic guitar design, combining vintage charm with modern playability. Its thoughtful construction features, like a compensated wrap bridge and versatile Lollar humbuckers, create a rich and resonant tone across genres. While it may not be the cheapest option at over $4,000, the quality and craftsmanship justify the price. However, some players might find the unique body shape takes getting used to, and its aesthetic could be polarizing. Overall, the Arcade is a standout instrument that beautifully balances nostalgia with innovation, appealing to a wide range of players.
