Amethyst Shift comes to the ēmi 8 for the first time.
ēmi™ is the sibling to the Larada, carrying forward the same elegant design language and ergonomic focus that define Abasi Concepts. Where the Larada offers a refined single-cut silhouette, ēmi provides a double-cut alternative - retaining the balance and comfort of its counterpart while appealing to players who prefer a different form. Its asymmetrical OVIFORM+–™ neck profile, with its subtle teardrop shape, remains a defining feature of both instruments.
The ēmi 8 is loaded with the Abasi-exclusive Fishman Fluence H-S-S set, voiced specifically for extended range. From thick, high-gain humbucker tones to bright, glassy single-coil and wideband sounds, one guitar covers everything from heavy rhythm to crystalline cleans. The middle and neck pickups deliver true single-coil tones, with gain settings that either match the humbucker's output for balanced high-gain playing or drop to an underwound sound for increased dynamic sensitivity.
Amethyst Shift combines a fine sparkle with a color shift that moves from blue to purple, pink, and gold under the light. Photos don't do this finish justice - it has to be seen in person.
*** Each piece of wood is unique and will have varying grain patterns, color, and frequency. The photos listed are one representation of the particular wood species offered on this guitar and will vary with each instrument. Spotting on ebony is a normal occurrence.
