Welcome to FM Guitars!
Your home for ergonomic guitars and basses!
We make single fretboard guitars, as well as double fretboard 12, 14, and 16-string Guitars and Basses that are for any "standard technique" players who also want to extend their tapping/fingerstyle techniques.
Having two identical fretboards opens up thousands of new possibilities for chords, chord-melody, double melody, power chords, shred/leads ideas, and all kinds of other techniques! In other words, it's an extension of the electric guitar, simulating two instruments as one.
Our Esphera model comes as a single fretboard guitar as well.
We are located in Los Angeles, California.

"My Esphera bass is an amazing piece or art. It's super lightweight, comfortable, and easy to play, perfect for long sessions without fatigue. Its ergonomic design makes every note flow naturally. Definitely a great choice for any bassist!"

I absolutely loved the FM Esphera when I got to try it out at NAMM. One of the most important things to me on any guitar is neck/fretwork, and the level of quality and craftsmanship on my Esphera stood out to me immediately. The pick ups sound super clean, and I have used it on every kind of gig ranging from jazz, funk, classic rock, fusion, to my own original Armenian fusion, and two handed tapping compositions. I have also received lots of compliments when using the guitar in a studio environment. The paint job and wood grain look stunning, and the ergonomic shape of the instrument makes it easy to get through very long gigs. Customer service was super responsive and they legitimately care about getting the right instrument for you. The perfect balance between the creative original musician, and the working session player.

After years as a professional guitarist, this guitar has reignited the passion and excitement I felt when I first played. I've rediscovered the magic of creating and innovating, just like that child who never stopped dreaming with his music.

As someone who gravitates towards the weird and extraordinary, these instruments are just that. The 16-string guitar I got from FM has forced me to approach playing from a fresh perspective, almost as if I were a new player again. This in turn, sparked a wave of creativity!
I trusted the creative design process to Felix and he delivered beyond my wildest dreams. From custom headless tuners to the bold yellow/green color scheme—every detail of this guitar is meticulously crafted.
What truly sets these instruments apart is their versatility. I can play it like a regular guitar, yet it also offers the flexibility to dive into experimental techniques. It is the best of two worlds!
And let's not forget the aesthetics—these guitars are VERY eye-catching. They grab the attention of every guitar enthusiast at shows, and I love having the opportunity to share the story behind this amazing company.

FM Guitars are simply beyond. They are a gateway to creating your most infinite and inspiring musical compositions. I’ve always wanted to learn to play a tapping guitar but there weren’t many options avaible. When I received my FMS-12 string just a few short days later, I was up and running tapping complex patterns, exotic chords and melodys with its conventional tuning.

I can say that these are the best stock pickups I've tried on a guitar. I find myself picking up the guitar very frequently solely because I enjoy how responsive/sensitive the pickups are to fast picking.
Love the sound, plus it's very lightweight!
Unai Iglesias
A whole new world available. When I firstly saw FM guitars, I imagined what it would be like to play with them and the number of new techniques and harmonies available. Now as an FM artist I couldn't be more delighted with the inspiration it generates to me every time I play it. I’ve always loved the tapping style, and that’s the FM guitars territory.

Every crazy guitar idea I have is possible because of my FM 9+7 guitar. The light weight and accessiblity of it makes it easy to play as a "normal" guitar but also to make chord voicings and techniques I would have never thought of on a single fretboard guitar. Playing double harmonies has been my most challenging but most fun challenge with this guitar. I absolutely love how rewarding it is to play this guitar (extra points for nice colors and flashiness!)

It is an absolute privilege to work with the FM family! Not only is it amazing to play the Esphera guitar; an incredible instrument that’s responsive, lightweight, compact with a great neck profile. But the actual company is like a huge family!
Nothing better than to play amazing instruments with a great crew of incredible musicians and human beings!
Leo Traeger
"The next evolution of the guitar is now a reality thanks to FM guitars, opening a spectrum of harmonic possibilities in a way that redefines how the guitar can be played. With the highest quality industry standards making it available to the world, this unique instrument will change the way music is played by generations"
Jan Rivera
Modern applications require modern solutions, and the compact, lightweight package that FM Guitars delivers is an incredibly practical one. When I first tried the Esphera, I was taken aback by just how comfortable, ergonomic, and lightweight the design was. However, the best thing about FM Guitars is how much of a close knit family it is. I feel honored to be a part of this great family of musicians!”

For many years I played with several traditional guitar brands, but my experience really changed completely when I met Fm Guitars.
An incredible brand that stands out for its unique and avant-garde double-neck designs as well as its unique single-neck "Esphera" model, which not only offer attractive aesthetics but also ergonomic improvements that facilitate musical performance. It is an honor to belong to this great family.

The Bass I received from FM Guitars has completely opened my mind to the possibilities of two hand tapping as well as my own composing and musicianship. FM worked very diligently to make sure I received the exact instrument that I wanted that was made specifically with me in mind as I got to pick everything, They truly go above and beyond. IT was also a joy to get to spend time at their Booth at NAMM in 2024.
Brad Williamson
FM guitars has enabled me to do things that I didn’t even know were possible on bass. Felix has taken the design of a double neck bass and perfected it for optimal playability and accessibility. If you’re a bassist looking to challenge yourself and vastly expand your sound palate, look no further than FM guitars!

FM Guitars, showed up in a seriously good time for me, the idea of being able to play two guitars at once was only a dream. When mine arrived musical avenues had become available that I could not portray before. Truly top notch work, and I am grateful for all that comes from having mine!

I’ve been playing guitar with tapping elements intertwined to my playing for a very long time. After receiving my fm 16 string guitar it has unlocked a whole new world of possibilities everything that seemed impossible on a single fretboard was out the door. A superb tool that comes with endless amounts of inspiration.

FM Guitars is the standard of what the future of the guitar will be like with the new guitarists that emerge. The quality and precision of its pieces are inexplicable, you will only understand when you have an FM in your hands and you can appreciate all the work and dedication. The sound of its pickups and the ease it gives you to execute quickly and accurately are worthy of admiration, I am happy to be part of the FM family and represent them with my music for future generations of guitarists.

"Using both of my hands on a bass like this is challenging, yet rewarding. Playing my FM bass feels like I'm unlocking ancient techniques or primal instincts. The best part about FM Guitars is being a part of something so special. The combination of unique instruments and unique musicians makes for a phenomenon unlike any other, and I am proud to be a part of it."

FM Guitars makes instruments unique to any other on the market that feel natural to learn when transitioning from playing a traditional electric guitar or bass. Playing a 12-16 string guitar or an 8-12 string bass opens up many new possibilities, including removing some physical restraints in playing and having access to separate pickups for individual fretboard clarity compared to playing a standard electric guitar or bass. FM Guitars will work with you to create the instrument you want, which will sound, feel, and look fantastic.
