【new】Meta Guitars / Veil B4 Medium Scale Champagne Beige 3.135kg【GIB Yokohama】

Meta Guitars is a high-end brand of modern guitars based in France.

Builder Fred has been interested in guitars and basses since childhood, and by the age of 15, he had already begun dedicating his life to stringed instrument making.

The word "meta" has meanings such as "after," "beyond," and "change."

With this concept in mind, he has worked to create beautiful, passionate, individual, modern, and revolutionary guitars and basses.

Most Meta Guitars instruments are designed without heads.

This allows for lighter weight, a more compact design, and superior ergonomic balance.

Furthermore, headless hardware does not use gears for tuning.

This means increased tuning stability.

He is committed to achieving a superior balance in both sound and playability.

To achieve this, almost all models feature a single cutaway and ergonomic curves.

The beautiful body curves not only look good, but also provide the player with ideal balance whether standing or sitting.

By using a single-cutaway neck, the neck's strength on the lower end increases, its elasticity decreases, resulting in a tighter tone and longer sustain.
As a result, a clearer, more direct tone is achieved, especially on the lower strings.

He also incorporated fanned frets to improve the sound balance.

This not only balances the tone but also provides users with a wider range of string gauge options.

Some may worry about playability, but in reality, this design is very natural in relation to the movement of the human arm and wrist.

It shouldn't take long to feel comfortable playing it.

This model is the flagship Veil model.

Within the Veil series, this model aims for a particularly rich low-to-mid range.

The scale length is 35-33 inches.

If you're looking for a more traditional bass sound, this is the one for you.

The body is made of quarter-sawn chestnut, the neck is maple, and the fingerboard is ebony.

Despite weighing nearly 3kg, the tone is remarkably full, without any lack of clarity, looseness, or lightness.

It features Lace's Alua Bassbar pickups.

These extremely lightweight pickups are characterized by their transparency and speed.

The natural nuances, free from strong coloration, leave a positive impression.

The low noise level is also a major plus.

Wiring is done from below the knobs, so there is no back panel.

Overall, it's a refined and beautiful product.

Perhaps it's the foundation of European culture that allows such a product to emerge in the modern era.

Please give it a try.
