Launch of Flamel Guitars

To mark the launch of the first 2 models of electric guitars, available in 2 ranges and several finishes, Flamel is offering you the opportunity to purchase a guitar in pre-sale, benefiting from an exceptional discount of -20%* for the first 10 and until May 15, 2024 only.

But first, a little history and the presentation of our models by our president, Nicolas MASSON:

Hello everyone,

I am Niko, formerly responsible for the organization of Générale Lutherie . It's a bit of a long story but I'll try to make it clear and concise.

It was thanks to this experience at Générale Lutherie that friendships were formed with Fred from Alkemy Guitares and that I fell in love with the instruments he makes in his workshop. Through discussions around his guitars, we launched the idea of ​​manufacturing guitars in series.

The specifications were simple: use Fred's pen and know-how to transpose his very high-end instruments into something more mainstream, more affordable, available and without compromise on quality, electronics and microphones.

• Wider audience by offering proven finishes and technical choices
• More affordable by working in a short circuit for the supply of wood. By using digital machines for machining and by directly calling on the biggest brands of fittings.
• Available by having a presence throughout France through a network of stores with whom we will work so that our guitars are present near players.
• Quality Control All parts that come out of machining are inspected, controlled and validated by Fred.
• CTS and Orange Drop
  electronics References.
• Microphones : The decisive meeting will be with Anthony Ceccarelli of Cecca Guitars . We presented our models to him and he decided to fully join this adventure by manufacturing several types of microphones specifically for Flamel Guitars .

Today it is as a trio that we present our work to you.

We produce three models available in three ranges.

• Arsenic Standard, Deluxe or Custom 
• Cyanure Standard, Deluxe or Custom
• Vitriol Standard, Deluxe or Custom.

You will find details of these models on the corresponding pages.
(Attention bass players, the Vitriol is not there because we want our models to be as perfect as possible and we still have a little work left on this one. I can nevertheless tell you that the wood species will be identical to the Standard and Deluxe series with a Precision type microphone on the Standards and Jazzbass on the Deluxe.)

Custom models are not present in the catalog, in fact it is custom and therefore “à la carte”. Take a look at the Custom shop to get an idea .

Our woods are duly selected by Fred taking into account quality, origin and cost. All are PEFC* certified.

• Maple and Laricio are of French origin. 
• Korina comes from plantations in Cameroon.

To improve the durability and sound qualities of our woods, all bodies, necks and keys are roasted in Brittany.

Where are we today ? A first complete pre-production series is ready to be tested with a small group of guitar and bass players by the end of February . We will provide technical feedback with them immediately for definitive validation. The presentation of all models to the public will take place during the Salon de la Belle Guitare (formerly Montrouge) the first weekend in March.

Last but not least since you are asking yourself the question. Flamel guitar cost ? It's simple and the price is the same whether you are right-handed or left-handed:

• series : €1390 cover included.
• series : €1690 cover included.
• Custom Shops start at €2,700 including soft-case.

For the launch of the Flamel electric guitar range, we are offering you the opportunity to purchase a guitar (or several if you are greedy :-D), benefiting from a -20% discount on the in-store sale price. This presale is a unique opportunity to purchase a Flamel guitar, made entirely in France, below the retail price in stores, where they will only be available from next fall.
