After years of admiring all things Abasi Concepts, I was finally able to get this guitar in my hands. I have many quality guitars in my collection, but there is definitely nothing like this Larada 6 Master Series. This guitar is breathtakingly beautiful, the tone is versatile and the build is flawless. I wanted some time to pass before writing a review, so I can really get to know this spectacular instrument.
I'll start from the top to the bottom:
1. I love the Hipshot products. I have their tuners on many of my guitars, so I was of course happy with my barrel knob tuners.
2. The neck is beyond comfortable. After an easy set-up with my 9-42, it felt like home. The action was lowered with ease and it plays like a dream.
3. The body extending to the 12th fret was the big question! Not being able to move your thumb up the neck and forcing your hand position was something I was looking forward to. It really makes me think about the guitar in a different way. That challenge is exciting and motivational.
4. The pickups sound incredible with my rig. The basics are a Fryette power amp, Custom Audio Amplifier 3+ and a Fractal Axe-FX. Whether in my rig or straight into a combo, the pickups have their own personality and can handle any genre. The most surprising burst of sound came from the clean tones. They sparkled without sounding brash. Sometimes clean tones end up sounding brittle when you're trying to cut through. These pickups are a game changer.
5. I especially appreciate not having a tone knob. I never use them. I do use the push/pull all the time and am thankful that was part of this build.
6. I'm a Floyd guy and always wanted the earlier Abasi guitars with the baby Floyds, but I am very pleased with the Gotoh trem. It handles all the guitar hero dive bombs and meshes perfectly with the aesthetic of the guitar.
7. I love having the jack on the back of the guitar. Why do we need to see the end of a cable?
I will be using this guitar to finish the final four songs on my upcoming album, "A Cruel Void" with my band SHAD (Extreme's Kevin Figueiredo on drums). The album is being produced by Bob St. John (Extreme, Collective Soul, Duran Duran). He is also impressed with the Larada. You can check out our music at: www.linktree.com/SHADband
I know there will be another Abasi in my future. Maybe an ēmi with a Floyd and a sustainer system! ;o)
Thanks to Tosin and all at Abasi Concepts for an inspiring, intelligent & innovative instrument!
