Abasi Concepts/Larada Megathread

[Albake21]

Hmm.. I'm not too big on the two tone ash top. I could see people liking it though, but I feel like that would be more risky. I still think solid colors are the way to go for now. If it were my vote, I'd do a few solid colors like shell pink, light blue, and maybe black or white.

I like emphasizing the difference between the flat top and the bevels, but I'm personally pretty over the whole grain-filled ash look. Have you considered Hello Kitty graphics, or perhaps some fairy-type pokemon?

Oreos may be tastier, but I'll stick with the Pepto. Take my money and give me shell pink!

Concerning the 2-tone finish, I’m more of a solid colour guy.

Okay, so you sent him the idea for the original shape. But did you send him the initial measurements, dimensions, angles, and everything? Nah. You just send him a pencil sketch of the body shape on paper that looked like it was hand-drawn by a child.

Why are you arguing this? Were you there? Why do you care? Just why? ...

Agreed.

If the holographic-like tech could be used to make the face switch from cute aguretsuko to metal aguretsuko, it would be incredible.

If he had sent him a drawing AND the dimensions, measurements, angles etc then he would have entirely designed it... as it stands, he came up with the foundational aesthetics and collaborated with Darren to refine and make it into a scale model. The main takeaway being that Darren didnt design it "from scratch"

I don’t mind the two tone finish, but I’m not a grain-filled fan. I am planning to buy an WMI. I also like the solid colored version with the matte/gloss finish. Fingers crossed for a pink, purple, magenta, etc version!

Now THATS What I Call Edgy, Vol. 22

Darn. I thought we were on Vol. 69. The true edgelord holy number!

Why do YOU care? Like, why care so much? Why ask such dumb questions?

Good point. The body design itself is literally just a Strandberg Boden without a top horn and with a headstock added. So I guess you are right. Neither Darren nor Tosin designed this “from scratch”.

Imagine making dumb assumptions in sarcastic comments and thinking that the Larada shape doesn’t look like a Strandberg Boden body on the lower side.

Yeah and strandberg didnt come up with that lol

I never said that Strandberg came up with anything. Just pointed out the similarities in body shape. Why must you continue to make dumb comments?

HUGE similarities actually. Look, there's... strings... and... and... a neck. The same friggin guitar - literally!
