Meta Guitars is a high-end brand of modern guitars based in France.

Builder Fred has been interested in guitars and basses since childhood, and by the age of 15, he had already begun dedicating his life to stringed instrument making.

The word "meta" means things like "after," "beyond," and "change."

With this concept in mind, he has worked to create beautiful, passionate, individual, modern, and revolutionary guitars and basses.

Most Meta Guitars are designed headless.

This allows for lighter weight, more compact design, and superior ergonomic balance.

Furthermore, headless hardware does not use gears for tuning.

This means increased tuning stability.

He is committed to achieving a superior balance in both sound and playability.

To achieve this, almost all models feature a single cutaway and an ergonomic curve.

The beautiful body curves are not just aesthetically pleasing; they provide the player with ideal balance whether standing or sitting.

By using a single-cutaway design, the neck on the bass side becomes stronger, less flexible, resulting in a tighter tone and longer sustain.

As a result, a clearer, more direct tone is achieved, especially on the lower strings.

He also incorporated fanned frets to improve the sound balance.

This not only balances the tone but also provides users with a wider range of string gauge options.

Some may worry about playability, but in reality, this design is very natural in relation to the movement of the human arm and wrist.

It won't take long for you to feel comfortable playing it.

This model is the flagship Veil model.

As a Midscale model, it aims for a particularly rich low-to-mid range within the Veil series.

The scale length is 35-33 inches.

If you're looking for a more traditional bass sound, this is the one for you.

The body is made of red alder, the neck of makore, and the fingerboard of ziricote.

The color is a beautiful Amaranth blossom with a satin finish.

Despite weighing less than 4kg, there is no lack of tone, looseness, or lightness.

The frets are Jescar stainless steel type.

These are beautiful frets that will never lose their shine.

The pickups are Lace Alua Bassbar pickups.

These are extremely lightweight pickups, and the sound is characterized by transparency and speed.

The natural nuance without strong coloration leaves a good impression.

The low noise level is also appealing.

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

Overall, it is a refined and beautiful product.

Perhaps it is because of its European cultural foundation that such a product can appear in the modern era.

Please try it out.
