Yokohama】","description":"\u003cp\u003eA guitar I custom-ordered from Meta Guitars has returned in excellent condition, pre-owned.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe description from the time is below.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAs this is a consignment item, shipping charges may vary.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e---\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMeta Guitars is a high-end brand based in France that manufactures modern guitars.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBuilder Fred has been interested in guitars and basses since he was a child, and by the age of 15, he had already begun dedicating his life to crafting stringed instruments.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe word \"\"meta\"\" means \"\"after,\"\" \"\"beyond,\"\" and \"\"change.\"\"\u003cbr\u003eWith this concept in mind, he has worked to create beautiful, passionate, unique, modern, and revolutionary guitars and basses.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMost Meta Guitars' instruments are designed headless.\u003cbr\u003eThis allows for lightweight, compact designs and excellent ergonomic balance.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFurthermore, headless hardware is tuned without gears, which means greater tuning stability.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHe is particular about achieving an excellent balance between sound and playability.\u003cbr\u003eTo achieve this, almost all of his models have a single cutaway and ergonomically curved body.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe beautiful body curve not only looks good, but also provides the player with ideal balance whether standing or sitting.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe single cut increases the strength of the bass neck, reducing its elasticity, resulting in a tighter tone and longer sustain.\u003cbr\u003eThis results in a clearer, straighter tone, especially on the bass strings.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHe also incorporates fanned frets to improve the balance of the sound.\u003cbr\u003eThis not only balances the tone but also offers players a wider range of gauge options.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSome people may be concerned about the instrument's difficulty in playing, but in fact, this design is very natural in relation to the movement of the human arm and wrist.\u003cbr\u003eIt won't take long for it to feel comfortable to play.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis model is the flagship Veil.\u003cbr\u003eAs a short scale model, the scale is 34-32\"\".\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eI tried several different scales and specified this one.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhile fanned frets are often used to increase the tension of the bass strings, this one does the opposite.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe aim was to reduce the tension of the treble strings, which are too strong, so the G string is 32 inches long.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe effect is tremendous, particularly in the D and G strings, which reduce the nuance of overly strong fundamental tones, resulting in richer overtones.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt's like having the treble strings of an SG or Mustang bass combined with the bass strings of a JB or PB.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt's a unique scale design, but I think you'll understand how great it is once you try it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe fact that the overall instrument is smaller is also a great point.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eI specified chestnut for the body and purple heart for the neck and fingerboard.\u003cbr\u003eChestnut bodies are their standard, and I've felt its high quality from their previous works.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePurple heart is hard but has a distinctive warmth to it, which I think adds a suppleness to the sound, especially when used on the neck and fretboard.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRoscoe and others are known for this technique.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThough it weighs just under 3kg, there's no sense of lack of tone, looseness, or lightness.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe pickups are Lace Alua Bassbars.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThese extremely lightweight pickups produce a sound that's characterized by clarity and speed.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThey leave a good impression with a natural nuance without any strong quirks.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe low noise level is also an attractive feature.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe wiring is routed from under the knobs, so there's no back panel.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOverall, this is a sophisticated and beautiful product.\u003cbr\u003eIt's likely that a product like this could have existed in the modern era because of its European roots.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePlease give it a try.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e●SPECS\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eShortscale\u003cbr\u003eChestnut body\u003cbr\u003ePurple heart neck\u003cbr\u003ePurple heart fingerboard\u003cbr\u003eTop mount
