LARADA 8 // Custom // Spalted Blackburst

Spalted maple comes to the Larada for the first time - on the flagship eight-string.

The Larada® is our flagship model, designed with comfort, playability, and ergonomics at the forefront. Its flowing curves and sculpted contours let the instrument sit naturally against the body, while the deep-set neck and compact string spacing make for a seamless transition from standard-range guitars. Multi-scale fanned frets balance string tension and playability across the range, and individual string saddles anchor each string to the body on its own for enhanced clarity and note separation.

This Custom features a spalted maple top under a translucent Blackburst finish, with natural top binding, white fingerboard binding, and an open-pore satin back and sides. Spalting forms naturally in the wood over time, drawing dark, ink-like lines through the maple - no two spalted tops are alike, making each instrument a true one-of-one.
