First off, this was built for a friend, for free, I am receiving no money from this build please do not dm me asking to build one, just go buy an actual Abasi.
When I got round to taking building seriously I asked a couple friends if I could build for them, and what they wanted. They were kind enough to just give me a base idea and let me go wild, one wanted an Abasi.
Body - Black Limba with an inlaid Ovangkol top
Neck - Flamed Maple with a Wenge scarf joint, slim C profile
Fingerboard - Ovangkol with Glow in the dark inlays and side dots
Tuners - Gotoh
Bridge - Fake Hipshot
Pickups - Alchemy Hartshorn set with Custom FATCarbon Dark Matter tops
It plays real well, I'm happy with how the fret edges turned out I've modelled that aspect after musicman guitars and feel like I got pretty close to the rolled edges they have. The body is really comfortable and small enough that you can easily chill on the couch and play it without having to sit in an awkward angle.
