HAPAS ASHEN

Buster Odeholm Signature

We are proud to present you with our most advanced guitar up to date. The HAPAS ASHEN 628 Buster Odeholm Signature.

About the ASHEN

The Concept

The ASHEN 628 is an extreme metal guitar made to embrace all the range of tones you hear in Buster’s band HUMANITY’S LAST BREATH.

Therefore, it has a 28 “baritone scale length, an Evertune bridge, and his signature ÆSHEN pickup. This setup can handle super low tunings of over an octave below E-std while still sounding defined and tight.

Balanced Body

The body is based on the HAPAS JUDGE and has some changes and added features. All of those will help to enhance your playing comfort and playability. The longer upper horn and the slightly shortened back move the center of gravity of this guitar more to the middle of the body.

The result is a perfectly hanging 28“ guitar with no neck dive at all!

Easy Frets & Custom Pickup

Additional bevels on the front sides of the neck pocket allow you to have better access, even to the highest frets, and bring all the THALL into your play.

The guitar is loaded with a Custom HAPAS ÆSHEN Buster Odeholm Signature pickup. A freshly developed pickup relentlessly tested and improved to fulfill Buster’s vision to create the ultimate pickup. The pickup position in the ASHEN 628 is custom-made for this guitar, and Buster determined it. He used a prototype guitar with a moving pickup,  to find the absolute sweet spot for his sound and playing style.

This is my dream guitar without any compromise. It has the perfect scale length, balance on the body, and the ideal hardware installed. After years of testing pickups and scale lengths, I found the sweet spot for the music I do. I gave Hapas a reference for the type of frequency response I was looking for in a pickup. They were very extremely meticulous and came up with the perfect pickup for low-tuned metal tones. This pickup is ideal for any tuning but precisely retains clarity in lower tunings.
