Switching to uniform specs really was the perfect solution delays and it looks like we’re right on schedule (dare I say slightly ahead?!) These will head to paint next week.

So what are the final specs on these?

Careful now, don't jinx it
Glad to hear the new approach is panning out- looks promising!

Looking really good! Just out of curiosity, how much of the process can you guys standardize before you need to cater to customer requests (like finish and hardware etc)?

Tosin can you tell us the prices and what there looking like? For the American models?

Will this be one of the uniform specs offered? I never imagined myself G.A.S.ing for an eight string or a pink guitar, and yet here I am, wanting this one. What a stunner!

I want one now. It all depends on price really

I wish I was going to NANM just to see that

The anticipation is killing me. I'm constantly refreshing the Abasi Concepts site so I can snatch an 8 string when they're available again. Is there any info on when new customers will be able to order? Please end my suffering, Tosin!

STRONG post to username to fanboy ratio

Any news from NAMM and this new direction?

 

[Splinterhead]

Very psyched that everything got ironed out! These guitars look intriguing!

 

[Jack McGoldrick]

There aren’t enough social media posts about them it’s making me sad

Curious to see the price point on the WMI guitars that satin burl top was killer

That's cool -- I was chiming in on that guy's thread on TGP like 5 years ago when he was trying to get a feel for whether there was a market for the CF quilt tops. Good to see it getting out there. IIRC, it's based on the decorative fiberglass processes I guess they use on nice boats. The guy was trying to put it on his own guitar shapes but they were horrendous.

welp. That black limba/ wenge combo is a winner. 100% would buy. Assuming it goes on sale.

His cf and burl composite tops are super cool looking imo. Walla Walla guitars has some crazy teles with his tops.
