Absinthe Matte Honey

A Taste of the Exotic

The Spade was our first headless design and has continued as a “flagship” with players around the world using it across many genres of music.

I wanted to use the design of the Spade and modify it into a modern, full body guitar.  I worked on a few initial ideas only to end up frustrated, as the designs were not up to our standards.   My business partner Ken suggested we hire a friend of his (a renowned Japanese designer) to help dial in the designs we had started.  With his guidance, the Absinthe design was finalized and approved!

We wanted to use a U.S. company for the pickups on this model and EMG quickly jumped to the opportunity.  We gave EMG the freedom to choose the pickup design with a coil split option.   While working with the Absinthe architecture, we developed our new neck with the curved block contour at the string lock.  This improvement is now the new neck for both the Spade and Absinthe models.  The design gives the player the feel of having a full headstock while in first position and the extra thickness creates more stability, mass, and tone.

The Absinthe is a well-balanced guitar with easy access to all the high frets.  True to its name, derived from a wicked psychedelic liquor, it’s a modern, high-end consciousness-expanding guitar.

Order yours today and experience the flexibility, tone and true player enjoyment with the Absinthe!
