Build Story

From concept to stage-ready

Follow how each element came together — from tonewood choices to hardware and final setup.

Ebony fretless fingerboard

Craftsmanship

The Gaia 5's fretless ebony board is dressed and radiused for a glassy feel under the fingers. Neck-through construction keeps sustain even across all five strings.

Matching burl headstock

Design

A contoured double-cut body carries a matching Buckeye Burl top and headstock veneer — organic figure against clean black hardware.

Dual J-style pickups

Electronics

Two J-style pickups and a multi-knob control layout give the player wide blend and tone shaping for both warm fingerstyle and articulate slap textures.

Tonewoods & Materials

The raw ingredients

Ebony

Smooth, dense fingerboard wood ideal for fretless articulation and sustain.

Alder
