This is a 2000 C Fouke Industrial guitar that was made by Chris Fouke in Benton Ill.
The body is Aluminum 6101 sandwiched around
phenloic resin core, and fixed together with bolts. The pickups are 2 "Wolftone" humbucker rewinds. Each pickup has it's own volume control. There is no tone control (who needs 'em)
The neck is maple with a rosewood fingerboard, 24 jumbo frets with sharktooth inlays.
The guitar is shaped like a modernized Les Paul, and sports a Floyd Rose tremelo and locking nut. The body is nice and thin, and relatively light. The tuners are a generic sealed tuner that works smoothly. The Floyd springs are adjusted through the back of the guitar with a allen wrench utilizing the schecter "Sure Claw" spring system. This guitar has ALL the features I need. Check out the pics at:

This is my second C Fouke Industrial, so I had an idea what to expect as far as tone......but this guitar exceeded my high expectations! The "Wolftone" pickups sound incredibly crisp and tight, absolutely fabulous in this guitar! This is a rock 'n roll machine that demands to be wailed upon!!! The lack of a tone control limits the guitars tonal possabilities somewhat, however, I didn't buy this guitar to play jazz or country. The crispness of the "Wolftones" along with the body makeup of the industrial (mostly hollow) combine to give an unbelieveably rich, full sound, the signature tone for Industrials.

These guitars are solid as a rock! Everything is top notch. I would never play without a back up, however, if I had to, I would use an Indusrial!

Chris is a great guy to deal with! Chris had this guitar on ebay, and I felt very fortunate to be able to purchase it. I guess it's very labor intensive to put a Floyd in these guitars, and this was Chris' last Floyd equipt Indy for sale on ebay. Chris has made it clear that these guitars are his passion, and I know if anything ever went wrong, Chris would take care of me. Simply the best you could hope to deal with.

I've been playing for 20 years, and have been on the never ending crusade for tone. I feel very fortunate to have found C Fouke Industrial Guitars! The tone, look and feel are of the highest quality you could hope for! This is my 2nd Industrial, and I am amazed at how unique and different the 2 guitars I own sound! I bought this particular guitar because I wanted the tone, look and feel of my 1st industrial.....only with a Floyd Rose tremelo system. What I got so much more! The 2 indys I own sound completly different from one another.....but the defining characteristic of these guitars are there full, rich sound and incredible sustain! If it sounds like I'm gushing over these guitars................I am! I love them!
