Frank Brothers Sonar w/P90s Aged Fiesta Red Over White

The Frank Brothers Sonar is one of those rare guitars that balances brains and brawn - smart in design, yet raw and fun in all the right ways. Its adaptable platform thrives with a variety of pickup and hardware configurations, but in this lightly relic’d Aged Fiesta Red over White version, it’s all about stripped-down tone and pure playing joy.

There’s an undeniable Melody Maker / LP Junior vibe here - minimalist, vibey, and just a blast to pick up and play. The short ashtray bridge with brass saddles, paired with two FBGC "V.O." P90s and a straightforward three-switch / volume / tone layout, keeps things honest and immediate. Nothing fussy - just gorgeously built and ready to rip.

But this Sonar is more than just a looker. The Slim C neck (.82"–.90"), 9.5" radius, and 25.5" scale make for an incredibly comfortable playing experience - effortless, familiar, and hard to put down. Whether you’re noodling on the couch or pushing some air on stage, it responds with a feel that’s expressive and alive, never clinical or overbuilt.

Plugged into a Park P18C, the “V.O.” P90s shine. Clean tones have a snappy, articulate edge - think Tele chime and sparkle with an LP Junior's thick and punchy midrange. Hit it with overdrive, and the Sonar opens up with a raw, gritty voice that’s as dynamic as it is fun.
