Here’s Tosin Abasi from Animals As Leaders doing his thing on an 8-string acoustic guitar built and designed by Julien Bergeron.
Tosin says, “I am blown away by the tone, volume and playability of this thing!”
Mainly a self-taught guitarist, Abasi has graced the pages of Guitar World and is known for his technical prowess.
He is typically seen with his Ibanez TAM100 Signature eight-string electric guitar.
The new album from Animals as Leaders, The Joy of Motion, will be out March 25 via Sumerian Records. For about Abasi and the band, visit sumerianrecords.com.
