Tosin Abasi's new LACS!(8 string hollow body)

[Ishan]

This guy really has good taste in guitars!

 

[Black_tear]

Oh noooo, and i thought i had cured my GAS.
Can't stand watching these, damn you Tosin

 

[Winspear]

I'm really looking for info on this - why he chose these materials, pickups, and design over those of his TIL 8.

 

[KoenDercksen]

So beautiful, I envy him.

Man if only this would become a production model... I'd be gasing so hard

No because it would be $4k and then everyone would just bitch about the price

 

[Vinnydude]

Sorry if it's a repost but WOW

Frap frap frap frap frap frap

Oh, nice guitar too Mr Abasi

 

[Necromechanical]

I got to play around with this amazing piece of art for a few minutes, it is a VERY nice guitar.

Well, there probably wouldn't be any Lundgrens, and I doubt that they would use burled maple on a normal production guitar. They'd probably use normal maple, or maybe flamed.

Tooling alone to equip the Fujigen factory to make the guitar would make the price quite high in itself, especially when you consider the niche, of a niche, of a niche market this guitar would cater to. As for the burl, believe it or not, it's not as rare as you'd think. It's not Buckeye, which is the really pricey stuff. Granted it's not super cheap. Ibanez has used burls on production guitars in the past, and not expensive guitars either.

Sweet fuck that is awesome.

I didn't know LACS would be willing to use a Hipshot bridge. Live and learn, I guess.

Also, very awesome guitar.

They've done it, used a Hipshot, on at least two other LACS in the past. They tend to favor them over their proprietary ones as well as the Gotohs when doing Piezo setups for some reason.

Probably because the Piezo systems in their bridges never sounded remotely as good. I haven't looked at the different piezos for awhile but I know for awhile LR Baggs had a patent hence part of the reason you saw Petrucci leave Ibanez and end up with a superior sounding piezo loaded guitar from EBMM.

Phenomenal guitar for a phenomenal musician! Congrats!
