Stradi Lavafall Symphony 7-String Guitar (not a bass) 2023 - Satin

This is a beautiful Custom Shop 7-String Guitar for players who evolved beyond the classics

If you grew up playing Fender, Gibson, PRS, or Ibanez, but today you’re looking for something more expressive, more modern, and truly individual, this guitar was built for you.

The Stradi Symphony 7 “Lavafall” is a Custom Shop, multiscale 7-string designed for musicians who appreciate the familiar feel and musicality of legendary brands, yet want to step beyond mass-produced instruments into boutique craftsmanship.

Design Inspiration — Lava Meets Ocean

Visually inspired by the moment when molten lava flows into the ocean, this guitar looks alive.

The ocean hues dyed Poplar Burl top features deep ocean-blue tones infused with fiery copper and ember-like patterns, as if magma is cooling beneath moving water.

A bold Padauk center spine cuts through the body like a volcanic fault line, glowing against the cool blues and giving the instrument a dramatic, elemental presence.

The matching headstock completes the illusion, making the guitar feel carved from a single, flowing force of nature.

Construction & Feel

Chambered Padauk body — rich sustain and warmth that Gibson players will appreciate, with added openness and clarity

Padauk fingerboard — fast response and articulate mids, familiar to PRS players

Padauk & flamed maple neck — stability, snap, and precision reminiscent of high-end Ibanez instruments

Multiscale 25”–26” — perfect tension balance across all 7 strings

Weight: 9 lbs — solid, balanced, and stage-ready

Custom Stradi Stealth pickups

Hidden beneath the fretboard for a clean, uninterrupted aesthetic
