Fodera Emperor Deluxe 5 Custom – Stabilized Box Elder Burl

We are thrilled to present a truly historic build for Uni•Sound. This Emperor Deluxe 5 features a stunning Stabilized Box Elder Burl top—marking the first time this material has ever been used on a Fodera instrument.

This specific top was hand-selected during our shop visit in January 2026, chosen for its incredible figure and unique visual depth. Built on a lightweight Ash body with a dovetail neck joint, this bass is designed to deliver the legendary Fodera "punch" with a modern, high-end aesthetic.
