FGN J-Standard Iliad JIL72ASHDER 7-String – Open Pore Black

The FGN JIL72ASHDER from the J-Standard Iliad series is a masterclass in modern guitar design, Japanese craftsmanship, and 7-string versatility. Built at the legendary Fujigen factory in Japan, this guitar combines a classic "T-style" silhouette with high-performance specs tailored for the modern metal and progressive player. The Open Pore Black finish not only looks menacing but allows the resonant Ash body to breathe, providing a tactile, organic feel under your fingers.

Fishman Fluence Power & Circle Fretting System

Equipped with a Fishman Fluence Modern set (Alnico in the neck, Ceramic in the bridge), the JIL72ASHDER offers two distinct voices per pickup via a push-pull tone control, ranging from high-output active punch to crisp, clean passive tones. To ensure flawless intonation across all 7 strings, FGN has implemented their patented Circle Fretting System (C.F.S.). By slightly curving the frets, every string crosses them at a right angle, resulting in increased sustain, clearer harmonics, and superior pitch accuracy.

Premium Hardware & Reliability

This 7-string powerhouse is built for the stage. It features Gotoh® MG-T locking tuners for rapid string changes and rock-solid stability, alongside an FGN FB-705 bridge for maximum resonance. The 25.5" scale and 24 jumbo frets on a rosewood fingerboard offer a familiar yet fast playing experience for technical leads and crushing riffs alike.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the benefit of the Circle Fretting System (C.F.S.)?
Traditional frets are straight, but strings spread out toward the bridge. C.F.S. uses slightly curved frets so that each string crosses the fret at exactly 90 degrees. This improves intonation, increases sustain, and provides cleaner harmonics across the entire fretboard.

Does this guitar require a battery?
Yes. Because it uses Fishman Fluence active pickups, it requires a 9V battery (or optional rechargeable pack) to operate. The battery powers the high-fidelity, noiseless signal and the dual-voice switching capabilities.

What are the two "Voices" on the Fishman pickups?
Voice 1 provides a modern, high-output active tone (ideal for metal). Voice 2 offers a more organic, crisp, and clean passive-style response. You can toggle between these using the push-pull switch on the tone knob.
