ēmi ™ is essentially the sibling to the Larada. It retains the elegant, ergonomic form of the single cut variant while introducing a more assertive silhouette for players who prefer double cut-away body styles. While ABASI extended range instruments are typically built with a multi-scale design and individual string bridges, the ēmi 6 and ēmi 7 models are designed for players who prefer a uniform scale length paired with a Gotoh 510 floating tremolo. As always, each piece of wood is hand-selected, with close attention paid to quality, weight, and overall resonance. This ēmi USA Custom features an exceptional spalted maple top that immediately commands attention. The dramatic spalting patterns create a naturally occurring landscape of contrasting lines, figure, and depth, making this a truly one-of-a-kind instrument. Framed by a dark burst finish and paired with our highest-level appointments, this build represents the intersection of artistry, craftsmanship, and performance. Among the countless tops that pass through our hands, this is one that stopped us in our tracks - easily one of the most visually striking ēmi guitars we have produced to date.
