Companies do nothing but copy historic Gibson and Fender body shapes. I applaud Abasi for creating something that is his own and actually has great practical use with the design! I just ordered my Blue Sage 7 string and I am very excited to try it out!!!! It cost me a lot of money, I am by no means rich and probably should have not bought it, but it’s an investment that I just had to try out, life is too short!
@X Y what bass company has used this design before? I am very interested in seeing what this model is inspired after, but to my knowledge this single-cut ergonomic shape is unique and has been licensed under his name. I’m more than welcome to learn and be wrong however.
@@N3rdGamerProductions Fodera Imperial. Other boutique brands have a similar shape as well. Not sure which company came up with the design first though. I mean, the Abassi is still unique but it's definitely inspired by something that already existed.
those fishman pickup[s are by far the cleanest sounding pickups I've ever heard. Plus even tho these pickups are tosins sig fishmans, his pickups are actually just a tweaked version of their modern classic pickups.
@@ooferrell Heavy but super clean. Would love some humbuckers like that as I'm not so much into the whole battery thing. However maybe I should look it it - do you know their name? Both his sigs and those regular ones? For 6 strings.
Tosin is a beast, and it is really cool how he kind of built a guitar around himself, hence the ergonomics. And the way it sounds is awesome, although the shape might take a while to getting used to but it reeks of quality.
he blended basically an Ola Strandberg "ergonomic guitar" with a Jesse Hall 8 string (amongst others also shaped like a bass, whose shape are already pretty generic now in 2020), both which he owns and played on youtube in the past. the fretboard inlay pattern is copy pasted from kramer's nightswan.
@@realtruenorth I just got a Legion 7 and the Enduroneck I don't like at all. I'm normally into 50s Les Paul baseball bat necks and like fatter necks even on 7s, I had a very expensive multi scale I hated to play so I got this Legion since it was a steal locally. The fan surprised me, really well designed and not just a fan for the sake of doing a fan.
@@MaestroJericho I have a baseball bat neck tele and fat neck Les Paul and for tone they are awesome. Along with my PRS. Not the most comfortable guitars to play but the mass of the instrument matters. I just hate the look of strandbergs and like the look of Abasi guitars is all. My 7 string ibanez works fine for heavy stuff tho.
I grew up in the era of EMG's dominance. I can safely tell you that it's an era that most of us guitar players really don't miss. Honestly I'm still not overly a fan of active pickups because of all the extra noise I have to tame on most setups, but Fishman by far is a superior brand.
I really enjoy these guitar monsters and their wholesomeness of leveraging each other in social networks and their music work and companies and stuff, especially nowadays that internet is hyper toxic. Ola, Tosin, Per, Misha, Tim Henson ... keep it like that dudes!
Thanks God you try it clean, as the main difference of this pickups are on the cleans, very sparkling and you can ear any string ringing. Unfortunately the voice 3(split coil) when engaged with distortion it's an hum catcher, my pickups do the same noise when close to my PC, I have to go far couples of meter to reduce it.
Abasi guitars are something else. I just absolutely love the look and shape. I love how the body cutouts and the cutout in the headstock have the same color and bevel to them.

That thump part had to be done. Even tho you were just riffing it you can tell that the guitar is meant to pick up those specific sounds. Great job reviewing the guitar Ola!
Nice to see a brand using its own unique body design (I know there are many, but there are soooo many just rehashing the same same designs with a twist). They look really nice and interesting.
Yeah similar designs has been seen before for sure, but I don't know, on a guitar I think they look quite unique and a part of the brand. Not a fav shape of mine though, I much prefer something like the old-school explorer look etc. Still, It is nice to see guitar brands stick out a bit more these days with personality to their designs. On the other hand, staying close to the classic models, superstrats, Vs etc is wise as they prob still sell the most. I guess it is a different approach that's all.
I prefer playing in the classical position when seated, as it feels more like playing standing up. The fan also is typically more set up for that position on multiscale guitars.
I have been waiting for these forever. I think they’re some of the most beautiful, unique guitars I’ve ever seen. Now just need to start selling my body for 2k
You are a great guitarist yourself man! Dont be hard on yourself lmao, I have listened to your music on spotify. They are really good especially considering they are purely instrumental!! Keep up the good work. You are an inspiration.
When it comes to looks, I am all in the Fender and Gibson classical. In fact, my first guitar is an epiphone les paul and my second a fender strat. Plus Im looking to get a tele now... With that being said, how is it possible that I like the look of the Ladara soo much ? So weird but at the same times so classy and beautiful ! Id love to try one ...
This finally proves it to me. Fishmans aren't active like EMGs, but the pre amp still round everything off to be the same loudness. I'm not sure I like that kind of compression. I thought it was just the Fluence pickups, but nah it seems to just be a Fishman thing. I was curious, but I think I'm just sticking with non preamp-ed passives. Thanks again for the demo Ola, cool looking guitar though. And you really should do more 8 string stuff, this might have been one of those opportunities, but oh well. Maybe next time.
This is awesome Ola! I ordered the same exact one when they released them on Sunday. I was really curious to see the instrument, how it plays, and what others would think of it. Glad it’s you who road tested it, and the case is pretty cool too!
very difficult to design new guitars, because strat and LP design were nearly perfect, after sixty years with little variations they still are actual. but this abasi axe looks really new, different, beautiful and cool. kudos to the designer.
I applaud Tosin for making something new when it comes to body shape. I personally don't think it's my thing, but that's subjective and it's always great that there are options out there. HOWEVER, that top is absolutely AMAZING looking! That, coupled with the fanned frets in a production model makes me very happy! Fanned fret 8-string Solar with similar top would be sweeeeeeeeet.
It's not new man, he just blended specs of custom guitars he owned, imagined by other luthiers. Fanned frets: the Orpharion, Strandberg guitars (Tosin owns a couple) etc. Left part Fedora type bass & JesseHall 8string and 100 other luthiers who made bass shaped 8+strings (T.Abasi plays a J.Hall guitar in an old vid) . Fretboard inlay: Kramer Nightswan. Slanted humbuckers...do I need to say it?
The legions look fantastic. I did a review on the Japanese Laradas, which are considerably more expensive but also very nice. If I didnt already have the J Laradas I would be tempted to grab an Aquaburst legion.
The body style is growin on me. It's like a really luxurious travel guitar with a headstock and you know finger tapping is probably decent on them. They seem pretty versatile too.
I don't know why but this review pushed me over the edge and I bought one today. I guess it was probably because someone that wasn't Tosin played it and it was still amazing.
I actually really love the Abasi sig fluence pickups. I put them in my 7 string strandberg. Want to try them for a 6 string next and install a super switch

Man, those pickups deliver a lot of gain! Feel like you could've turned it down a notch or two in the amp to clean it up slightly but still get that tight, chunky distortion.
Hung out with Tosin a couple times when he was in a Wheaton, MD band called PSI. Still have a sticker on my guitar case. The best was when I was with the band for a Frederick, MD field show. Cops eventually came and shut it down.
I was kind of always thrown off by these to be honest. I follow Tosin and the Abasi concept page because I like guitars, even ones I’m not necessarily a fan of. Visually they were a bit too far out there for my taste. But holy hell that sound absolutely amazing. Not only that, but judging using my ears has made it VISUALLY more appealing now. Hold please while I look up purchasing one cause I legit want one now.
It looks sweet, bit the bass from the pickups really muds up any of the fast notes that you throw in there. The KSE set kind of does that too, but the mids and highs come out a little better on them.
Shape wise I love the headstock, and it’s got some killer tones. Even though you said you probably wouldn’t use this live it would be a great guitar for some studio work.

2 - Bridge & Neck, inside coils, hum cancelling (Single Coil Voice-3 from Bridge pickup)
3 - Bridge & Neck Humbuckers (Voice-2 default, Pull Volume for Voice-1)

Definitely CHUGS! Thanks Ola!
Fishmans sound great ! I have them in my Satchel signature and you can play anything from Goat ropin to metal and they sound great !!
that thumping was epic! The new master!
Hung out with Tosin a couple times when he was in a Wheaton, MD band called PSI. Still have a sticker on my guitar case. The best was when I was with the band for a Frederick, MD field show. Cops eventually came and shut it down.
I was kind of always thrown off by these to be honest. I follow Tosin and the Abasi concept page because I like guitars, even ones I’m not necessarily a fan of. Visually they were a bit too far out there for my taste. But holy hell that sound absolutely amazing. Not only that, but judging using my ears has made it VISUALLY more appealing now. Hold please while I look up purchasing one cause I legit want one now.
the top wood finish looks so good imo. reminds me of like a bentley or rolls wooden dash trim.
It looks sweet, bit the bass from the pickups really muds up any of the fast notes that you throw in there. The KSE set kind of does that too, but the mids and highs come out a little better on them.
Shape wise I love the headstock, and it’s got some killer tones. Even though you said you probably wouldn’t use this live it would be a great guitar for some studio work.
Ola, the guy with a signature guitar and a signature burp
2:20 Typical "youtuber" would cut this...but really OLA full respect not cutting this BURP xD
Really enjoyed this one and dinking around on it with riffs. That way is most relatable :)
Solar, with Fishmans and fanned frets. Also 8 string models please. You know you want it too, Ola...
You should check out Ethereal guitars in Australia. They have some crazy stuff.
When you play in the classical position, you get a built in soft nut protector. Wish you would play it standing.
Yea he shure covers that buzz at 4:24 middle or neck position.
