【new】meta guitars / Veil B5 Longscale Ocean Blue Xtra Mat #019-2023-VB5L 3.62kg【GIB Yokohama】

Meta Guitars is a French-based high-brand manufacturer of modern guitars.

Builder Fred was interested in guitars and basses from an early age, and by the age of 15 had already started to devote his life to making stringed instruments.

The word meta means after, beyond or change.
With this concept in mind, he has worked to produce guitars and basses that are beautiful, passionate, unique, modern and revolutionary.

Most of Meta Guitars' creations are designed headless.
This makes them lighter, more compact and more ergonomically balanced.
And headless hardware tuning does not use gears.
This means greater tuning stability.

He is obsessed with excellent balance in both sound and playability.
To achieve this, the body of almost all models has a single cutaway and an ergonomic curve.
The beautiful body curve not only looks good, but also provides the player with ideal balance whether standing or sitting.

The single-cutaway makes the neck on the bass side stronger and less elastic, resulting in a tighter tone and longer sustain.
This results in a clearer, straighter tone, especially on the bass strings.

To improve the balance of the sound he has also adopted a fund fret.
This balances the tone and at the same time gives the user a wider choice of gauges.

While some may be concerned about the difficulty of playing, the design is actually very natural to the way the human arm and wrist works.
You won't need a lot of time before you find it easy to play.

This model is the flagship Veil model.
The Veil has a particular focus on improving the balance of the lower strings, with a scale of 34" to 36" to ensure the right tone from the low B to G strings.

The body is made of alder, the neck of exquisite flame maple and the fingerboard is made of Perferro.
Weighing less than 4 kg, the tone is not lacking, loose or light.

The pickups are Lace Aluma Bassbars.
It is a very lightweight pickup and its sound is characterised by transparency and speed.
It has a natural nuance without strong habits, which gives a good impression.
The low noise level is also attractive.

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

This time I used slightly thinner strings and specified a lower string height.
Because of the extended scale, the strings sound strong even with these specifications.
You will be surprised by its organic feel when you play it.

Overall, it is a refined and beautiful product.
It is precisely because of its European cultural underpinnings that products like this appear in the modern age.
Please give it a try.
