Mark Edgington of ME Guitars:

"The guitar skins are moulded using high grade carbon fibre and cured in an autoclave oven which applies high heat, pressure and vacuum.   The end result is a Carbon component that is consolidated to 1.3mm thick with virtually no resin content and has extraordinary acoustic properties.    This is also the same method of production thats used in Formula One and Aerospace industry.

I have changed the construction so that it's made in two components as opposed to four with an internal structure that maintains the strength from the bridge to the headstock producing maximum sustain.

Down the length of the neck there are two channels moulded into the carbon fibre underneath the fretboard which creates a strong stucture without the need for a truss rod. The neck is so strong that it will not be distorted at all by string tension and is also temperature resistant.

I have redisigned the neck to body join so that there is maximum access to the 24th fret.

The composite core material used inside the body (still under intellectual property scrutiny) is designed to reduce the feedback you would normally get in hollow body guitars but is also lightweight and adds to the compressional strength of the guitar body.

The overall performance of the FM1 is a lightweight versatile guitar with a rich range of highs and lows with semiacoustic overtones, from a clean crisp response to the power of the EMGs to deliver for the serious rocker - a quality guitar for the serious player."
