Leonardo Orsi Custom 7-String – 2018 Exhibition Model – Handcrafted, lightweight "Workhorse" with Premium Aesthetics

Boutique Craftsmanship meets High-Performance Ergonomics. Up for sale is a stunning 2018 7-string handcrafted by the renowned Buenos Aires luthier Leonardo Orsi. Originally built as an Exhibition Model for international luthier salons, this instrument showcases Orsi's dedication to stability, tone, and effortless playability.

This is a "Professional Workhorse" in the truest sense: a high-end, reliable tool designed for the modern player who needs a lightweight, resonant instrument that can handle the demands of the stage and studio alike.

Design & Aesthetic Highlights:

• Featherweight Slim-Body: At only 3.2kg (approx. 7.0 lbs), this is one of the most comfortable 7-strings on the market. Perfect for long sessions and saving your back.
• Premium Tonewoods: A resonant African Sapele Mahogany body paired with a gorgeous Flamed Maple top.
• Visual Precision: Features a custom color finish on the top and matching headstock, tied together by a beautiful Natural Masked Binding (False Binding).
• High-End Stability: The Two-piece Quarter-sawn Maple neck provides incredible rigidity. Having been built in 2018, the wood is perfectly "seasoned" and stable—ideal for players in humid climates like Florida.

Tone & Hardware: Equipped with DiMarzio Titan pickups (Jake Bowen signature), this guitar delivers surgical clarity and aggressive punch. The electronics include a Push-Pull coil split, offering a wide array of tones from crystal-clear cleans to heavy, articulate riffs. The Hipshot USA hardware ensures world-class tuning stability and intonation.

Condition: As a former exhibition and demo model, it has been handled with care but shows some light, honest signs of handling (minor surface marks). It is professionally set up with 10-64 strings and is ready to play right out of the box.

Featured Video: Miami Artist Showcase: See the Mirage 7 in action. This clip features Max (Flesh Veil) sharing his first impressions and testing the playability of this specific instrument in Miami. Hearing a local professional talk about the surgical precision and lightweight feel of an Orsi guitar is the best way to understand its quality.
