Description

The ĒMI is a full custominzed 8-String Guitar by Abasi Concepts Made in Japan.

ēmi ™ is basically the sibling to the Larada. It retains the elegant and ergonomic form of the single cut variant, while offering a more aggressive shape for those who prefer double cut-away body styles. The design is highlighted by the asymmetrical, subtle teardrop-shaped OVIFORM + - ™ neck profile. The ēmi line features a range of Fishman Fluence pickup configurations, including a unique H-S-S configuration on the ēmi 8, designed specifically for this instrument. We even threw in a tone knob! While ABASI extended range instruments typically feature a multi-scale design with individual string bridges, the 'ēmi 7' is the answer for the players who prefer a uniform scale length and Gotoh 510 floating tremolo.

OVIFORM + - ™ neck profile

The ēmi design is highlighted by an asymmetrical, subtle teardrop-shaped OVIFORM + - ™ neck profile. The ergonomic shape provides thickness where needed and gets out of the way where not needed for added comfort. It is especially effective on extended range instruments where a wider neck is required to accommodate for additional strings. abasi-concept-emi-features-02.png_PID:12eff6c3-31f6-46a6-85a8-7bfe99aa985f abasi-concept-emi-features-03-1.png_PID:f6c331f6-46a6-45a8-bbfe-99aa985ffa98 Double Cut
