The Larada ® 8 is our flagship model, designed with comfort, playability, and ergonomics in mind. Its flowing curves and contours allow the instrument to sit closely against the player’s body, while the neck’s deep-set position and more compact string spacing create for a seamless transition from standard range instruments.
Larada 7 & 8-string guitars feature multi-scale fanned frets, offering a fusion of optimal string tension with uncompromised playability. These models are loaded with individual string bridges, while the standard scale Larada 6 sports a Gotoh 510 floating tremolo. Each Larada comes equipped with Tosin Abasi’s signature Fishman Fluence pickups, stainless steel frets, and locking tuners.
Each piece of wood is hand-selected, with great attention paid to quality, weight, and overall resonance of the instrument.
*** Each piece of wood is unique and will have varying grain patters, color, and frequency. The photos listed are one representation of the particular wood species offered on this guitar and will vary with each instrument.

• Fishman Stage pickup system with body sensors for live performance
Equipped with the Fishman Stage Pickup System, the Abasi Stage 7 combines piezo and body sensors to deliver a natural amplified tone with enhanced control in live environments.
Controls include:
• Master Volume
• EQ - boosts treble and bass as turned up
• Body Blend - blends in body sensors for increased bass response and body tap sensitivity
The solid spruce top with premium flame maple veneer is paired with custom fan bracing and a bass bar to preserve articulation and dynamic response. A chambered mahogany body keeps the instrument lightweight and resonant while maintaining stability at high volumes.
The mahogany neck features a flat C-shape profile and compound-radius rosewood fingerboard, offering a fast, comfortable feel across the entire range. With 24 frets and a multiscale length of 27.5” on the bass side and 25.5” on the treble side, the Abasi Stage 7 supports modern technique, extended voicings, and expressive lead work.
