From past Ronin and Pensa Custom guitars luthier Izzy lugo and his partner Vinnie Saccocio comes Fiam Guitars. 

Recently Fiam developed the ‘Mirari F-5 with newly designed dual P-90 style pickups (still an option) which are absolutely beautiful. However due to popular demand, the original Foil Bucker from Izzy’s days with Ronin is now an available option as well. 

Physically this guitar features many of the same ingredients found in the original Mirari. Such as a body built from 900 + years old Old Growth Redwood and a Honduran Mahogany neck with RW board, keeping these instruments both lightweight and resonant. Each piece of wood used is hand chosen by Izzy & Vinnie for the best possible weight, rigidity and of course tone. The fretwork and setup as always on the guitars Izzy builds is impeccable. 

As mentioned this guitar features two Foil Bucker pickups. They can be split into single coils using the push-push buttons next to the volume and tone control knobs. 

This Mirari also features the Magic Button option, which is a piezo disc with its own dedicated push button located beneath the 3-way toggle switch. The “Magic Button” is hidden inside of the guitars body, beneath the bridge pickup. This button allows you to get an acoustic or dobro like sound out of your guitar. You can also get much more experimental with it and tap on the body for rhythmic looping or scratch at the springs for an unusual sound effect. Try using the Magic Button with a gated fuzz pedal. Trust us, it's a lot of fun.

The Foil Bucker pickups cross the line between a great Gold-Foil and low output PAF. Every nuance of your playing is heard and they clean up beautifully with your guitars volume control.  

Winding one coil in each pickup much stronger than the other allows for the humbucking tones to still sound crisp and bell-like. Because of this offset winding scheme you are also able to split each pickup without a noticeable drop in volume. These pickups can have a near acoustic-like quality to them and are highly sensitive to your pick attack. The FB also loves drive and fuzz pedals. They can be meaty and fat but with the push of either one of the two coil-split buttons, they become brighter and more focused; leaning more towards the Fullerton CA side of the tonal spectrum. Of course with their Gold Foil DNA there is always some amount of warmth and ethereal airiness to this guitars tone. Playing a Mirari is truly a mesmerizing and unique experience all its own. 

A new addition to the Fiam Mirari not found on previous Ronin models is the Vega Tremolo system. It is set up to float with two balanced low friction springs. This guitar also has the upgraded "Torn" trem route which allows for extreme pull back. 

Even with the standard non-upgraded trem route models you can pull back quite a bit. However with the Vega Trem and full Torn route this guitar can pull back at least two whole steps and in some situations even more. It's pretty wild. 

This Mirari is finished in a beautiful aged Antique White over Suntan Copper nitro finish. With the skillful and tastefully done relic-job, you can see the copper showing through the white top cote in some areas. This can be seen near the tops forearm-carve as well as near the guitars back tummy contour.
