Caring for your new guitar...

Guitars are very much like people. If we are comfortable, they are too. Not too hot, not too cold, not too humid, and not too dry.

Clean your guitar regularly. Not only will the strings last longer, but your guitar will look, play, and sound better if it is kept in top condition.

Do not over-polish your guitar. Use only enough polish to remove fingerprints and smudges. If you polish too heavily, a residue will build up and damage your guitar.

Do not use solvents or cleaners with silicone. There are many good guitar polishes in most music stores. Use sparingly and always finish buff with a clean dry cloth.

Exercise your guitar! You can't run a marathon without practice. Play your guitar regularly, it will respond. Guitars do break in and 'find their groove' so to speak.

Your guitar has been built with materials that will allow it to 'age' and improve over time. We've done our part, now you must do yours. Don't neglect her, treat her with love, and if at all possible, visit her at least once a day!

Welcome to the Foggy Mountain family. Watch for future instruments and models that we will add to our list. Most of all enjoy!

 

Crafted in Excellence...

To a proud new owner:

You have purchased one of the finest guitars made. Our craftsmen use the finest woods and hardware, intricate inlays and high-end appointments. From their skilled hands to yours, a treasured instrument that can be passed from one generation to another.

Foggy Mountain guitars are the result of a long gestation period behind a simple goal; "find a way to put the highest caliber instruments into the hands of musicians at prices they can afford. To do this while maintaining the sound that dreadnaught guitars made famous over the last century. A sound so compelling that in head-to-head comparisons with any competitor in our price range, players will choose a Foggy Mountain instrument." Your purchase is proof we are succeeding.

The saddle and nut are made of bone, not plastic, traditional scalloped "X" bracing is employed under the top which is made of choice, solid Sitka Spruce, Englemann Spruce, or Cedar. Fretboards are made of solid Rosewood or Ebony with matching bridges. The neck joint is a traditional dovetail type using animal glue. Multi-ply binding on the bodies, bound necks and headstocks (depending on model), and beautiful high-gloss lacquer finish. Nothing was left to chance. The highest standards in materials and craftmanship were employed so we can confidently offer you a 'Limited Lifetime Warranty' that will ease your mind as you make this significant purchase.
