Abasi Guitars 8-String Prototype
We spent some time today with Tosin Abasi and Frank Falbo to discuss the launch of Abasi Guitars. Here's the 8-string prototype that Frank built based off of Tosin's vision. The fanned frets are based off the 8th fret in order to more naturally match the angle of your fretting hand. Naturally, the guitar is loaded with Tosin's signature Fishman Fluence pickups. (The pickups' are also used in the fretted/fretless bass prototype as well.)

Zach loves his Sovtek Mig 60 head, which he plays through a cab he built himself at a pipe-organ shop in Denver. Every glue joint is lined with thin leather for maximum air tightness, and it’s stocked with Celestion G12M Greenback speakers.
