The Farida FA17-FM is a hollow-body archtop electric guitar produced by Farida Guitars, a Chinese brand founded in 2004 and recognized for offering high-spec instruments at competitive prices.
-
Construction: Fully hollow body with elegant archtop design, featuring f-holes and typically layered maple or spruce top and back.
-
Finish & Hardware: Frequently seen in finishes like Natural or Greenburst—often paired with gold-plated hardware and a vintage-style Bigsby tremolo, giving it a refined, retro look.
-
Neck & Fingerboard: Set-neck construction with binding, delivering solid sustain and smooth profile.
-
Bridge & Tailpiece: Factory models come with a Bigsby tailpiece and a floating bridge.
-
Exceptional value: Offers high-end components and rich appointments (Bigsby, bound neck, archtop design) at a more accessible price.
-
Playability: Owners report smooth necks and impressively low action, making it comfortable and responsive
-
Custom upgrade potential: A solid foundation for mods—whether it’s switching pickups, bridge, or electronics—to boost tone and performance.
-
Striking aesthetics: Flame or tiger-striped finishes with gold hardware make it visually memorable and stage-worthy.
The Farida FA17-FM stands out as an appealing option for players seeking a stylish, hollow-body guitar with authentic touches—like a Bigsby and bound archtop aesthetics—without breaking the bank. The craftsmanship and playability often punch well above its price, making it an excellent candidate for performers who value both tone and presence.
