Surely they're not trying to paint a wenge neck? Not sure that would even work without a ton of grain filler and primer

Nah the necks on the US builds are all maple

Tosins story with the six string with Floyd and line six is beaut and what I wish I had

When paying this kinda money tho you’d expect to be able to see the neckwood

You’d think that in a fancy restaurant at these prices you could keep the snails off the plate!

And would you look at this wine list? Not a fresh bottle in the whole place.

I know the world's basically on fire and the stock market is total garbage right now, but is anyone else worried that coronavirus might impact April's USA Master Series 8 release?

 

[Jack McGoldrick]

Doubt it’d affect us like but the import line probably

 

[jephjacques]

Haha if you can afford to worry about that you’ve got a pretty sweet life my man

Doubt it’d affect US LINE but the import line probably********

Very very very sorry I made a mistake

Given we're approaching April, can someone remind me ballpark figures for USA Larada 8s? I know it was mentioned on here a while ago but I'm not smart enough to find it by searching.

 

[jephjacques]

high $3Ks I think?

 

[Jack McGoldrick]

They’re changing the part judging by the andertons video so us ones will be more expensive

The last posted in this thread was $3300 for a US 8.

To those thinking of getting a J Larada, my mini review is finally up: https://www.sevenstring.org/threads/ngd-abasi-concepts-j-larada-7.340917/

I’m glad I sold my Prog 7 to get this guitar, it definitely suits me more. Inspiration machine.

Tosin posted his personal US Larada from the upcoming run in Champagne

 

[Jack McGoldrick]

Thoughts?

Thoughts?

I'm definitely buying (assuming I'll have some money for guitars at that point).

I already have an Agile acoustic 8 string, but it's a folk.

 

[olejason]

Curious if he means a legit classical guitar or more of a modern hybrid approach that casuals would be willing to pay for.

Also wondering if it’s an April fools

Also wondering if it’s an April fools

nah, why would he hide an April fools joke in that text? 99% of people who see that instagram post are not gonna read that far through it anyways. Also I only just noticed that Plini likes the idea (see top comment), so he has to do it now

I would say a 8 string nylon would fit well into the Abasi / AAS brand. I wouldn't be interessted in one since I can barely play a 6 string nylon, though.
