Tosin Abasi: Why I Left Ibanez Guitars | Animals As Leaders Guitarist
Показать описание
Animals as Leaders guitarist Tosin Abasi discussed his decision to leave Ibanez - who was building his new signature guitar - telling Guitar World:
"[Ibanez] was down to do it, but the prototyping process just proved to be really lengthy. It's not the fault of Ibanez - it's just the reality of large-scale manufacturing.
"Also, once you plug something like locking tuners into the actual math of the whole supply chain, you're quadrupling the cost of that particular feature. So things like that made it cost prohibitive to design the guitar exactly the way I wanted, even though we love Ibanez and the great work they're doing.
"Andy [Alt, Steve Vai's marketing director and creator of A Little Thunder pickups] and I were brainstorming, and he said, 'Why don’t you have Frank Falbo, (who is a luthier) build your guitars?'
"I'd already commissioned an eight-string fanned-fret classical from him and worked with him on Fishman's Fluence pickup line, so I knew he was into innovative ideas that actually pushed the guitar forward as opposed to being arbitrarily different. I knew he was an extremely smart guy who's shown his abilities in very different ways.
"So the fact that he had the capacity to do the guitars, he's local and we already had a relationship, it was this perfect epiphany moment where I realized I had all the moving parts to take my design and do it the way I wanted. And it turns out I’m even more drawn to the processes of making guitars than I initially thought."
Falbo said:
"It's evolved into a different instrument than Tosin's earlier prototypes, and it offers even more options.
"In this case, it's six-string, seven-string, eight-string, multi-scale or straight - there are different color options and different wood options. There will be some set models, but we'll have the ability to add custom features if customers want them."
