Abasi Concepts/Larada Megathread

I'm glad I just got a new 7 because otherwise I'd be tempted by the J series 7s that are in this batch. I have brain problems

Thats exactly my point. I know better than to want another one so badly, but I just can't help myself.

All you people with money go nuts and then tell me what it’s like

Did you get your replacement 7 from Abasi? If so, how was it?

It's shipping out this week, part of the batch they're putting for sale tonight.

Went to buy the Shell Pink Larada 7 and by the time I got my info in it was gone. Guess I'll be waiting again. These do be selling quick, and still no news on the Legion models that were supposed to be teased by the end of the month September? Hmm.

 

[HungryGuitarStudent]

It took about 25 minutes for all models to sell out (except red Spartan 6 which is still available), which seems way more feasible than the last batch. Hope you all got what you wanted.

Oh, and I bought a Spartan 6.

I caved and got the sage j Larada with roasted maple board but then sat there on PayPal pay screen and was like, wtf am I doing? Then just backed it all out.

The drop thing is preying on impulse buyers lol

 

[HungryGuitarStudent]

@r3tr0sp3ct1v3 Hahaha! That Sage J7 looks so good! It definitely stimulates that impulse. For me, I was happy to finally get a Spartan 6 after the long wait (and failed negociations to buy a used one). I sold most my guitars this summer, so this is a new wave.

Man Im glad you got the white one!!

I saw it go, and im still sitting here staring at the red one...

I may or may not have “accidentally” grabbed the black J with the white pickups. Whoops.

The 8s still sell out in seconds. Really wish we could get info on legion!

 

[HungryGuitarStudent]

@dh848 : There were 4-5 models of 8s that were there for a good 10-15 minutes (olive with gold hardware, etc.). Best of luck with the Legion 8s man.

Thanks man I think there were a couple white ones available when I bought mine, but they lasted for ~5 minutes. Red is still available at the moment.

Yeah sucks they sell out so fast. I only play 8s but almost got a 7 to satiate my hunger for an Abasi. Then I realized nah, why drop 3K on this when that money can go towards my future.

 

[jephjacques]

Since we're not seeing any of the Js or Master Series getting flipped on Reverb, I suspect we'll eventually hit a saturation point where the hardcore nerds will all have theirs and then they'll be easier to grab.

 

[Meh]

Still waiting on news about the Legion release. Wasn’t much of a fan of any of the finishes on the 8s last night. And if I’m dropping 3k I don’t want to settle.

 

[jephjacques]

My replacement is on the way! Ivan also says they were able to fix the one I sent back so I suspect it'll be up for sale again at some point.

It was a 7 or an 8?
