Founded in 2017 by progressive metal genius Tosin Abasi — virtuoso guitarist and leader of the band Animals As Leaders — Abasi Concepts revolutionized the guitar world by pushing the boundaries of ergonomic design and contemporary lutherie. Officially introduced at NAMM 2018, the brand was born from creative frustration: Tosin Abasi wanted a guitar offering optimal playing comfort on multi-string models, without compromising on aesthetics or playability.
Today, Abasi Concepts is recognized as one of the most daring and innovative brands in the industry, combining futuristic design, premium materials, and a resolutely forward-thinking approach for the demanding guitarist.
The Larada series is Abasi Concepts' iconic model. Available in 6, 7, and 8-string configurations, the Larada stands out with its unique body design, deep ergonomic cutaways, multiscale (fan fret) neck for optimal string tension, and Fishman Fluence pickups delivering exceptional sonic clarity. Every detail is designed to provide a smooth playing experience, whether seated or standing on stage.
The Larada comes in several series:
Complementing the Larada, the ēmi (or Emi) series offers an even more compact and streamlined design, ideal for guitarists seeking immediate handling and minimalist aesthetics while retaining Abasi's signature innovations: multiscale, Fishman Fluence pickups, and absolute ergonomic comfort.
What sets Abasi Concepts apart from other manufacturers is the focus on ergonomics. The deep body bevels allow the forearm to rest comfortably, the input jack is positioned at the rear to avoid interference, and the overall guitar shape allows for a classic or "Flying V" playing position depending on the musician's preference. The compact design of the 8-string models makes playing on the high strings as accessible as on a standard guitar.
Founded by Tosin Abasi — born January 7, 1983 in Washington D.C. to Nigerian parents, a largely self-taught prodigy guitarist — the brand embodies the vision of an artist who redefined the possibilities of multi-string guitars. With his band Animals As Leaders, Tosin popularized "djent" and the 8-string guitar to the general public, while collaborating with legendary brands like Ibanez before striking out on his own with Abasi Concepts.
Whether you are a progressive metal guitarist, a jazz fusion enthusiast, or simply a passionate musician looking for an exceptional instrument combining avant-garde design and unmatched playing comfort, Abasi Concepts offers a range of instruments that push the boundaries of what a guitar can be.
