Abasi Concepts/Larada Megathread

[r3tr0sp3ct1v3]

Honestly Abasi by Kiesel would be the next logical move, unless Abasi want his brand to get worse day by day.

Let’s just say that road was traveled and didn’t work out so well the first time.

Wait, Kiesel was a possibility at one point? Do tell, I've been following this thread for awhile and don't remember that coming up.

It’s because no one mentioned. I have a “source” at kiesel who provided me with a picture of a proto and information. I’ve shared that with about 2-3 other people on here.

Story is it took him forever to get the Ibanez proto back because he ghosted them to start abasi

Wow that’s fascinating!!! Super kiesel style build with that what looks like raw swamp ash and triangle of death. The cutout for the headless bridge isn’t as elegant as Falbo’s imo. Thanks for sharing! I love seeing stuff like this!

I figured as much. Just comparing the different approaches for fun.

LOL oh man that sounds like a story I’d love to hear!

I wish it would have worked out. Jeff wouldn’t sell me the proto

Wow.... now I wonder if Abasi regrets not just going with Kiesel. I'm sure it would have worked out great. It's super weird seeing a Kiesel logo on that Larada though.

I would have gotten a couple. I really dig it. Also this was done before the Zeus

Considering what have been happening a Kiesel Abasi would certainly have better quality than whatever the fuck Abasi Concepts has been putting out. Then again though almost every models are sold out so what the fuck do I know about making guitars.

abasi is copying strandberg's model of putting out mediocre guitars in limited quantities. So shitloads of demand and minimal supply (and minimal qc from the looks of it).
