Bia
By OD Guitars
An aggressive, well-balanced solidbody evolved from OD's original Cytherea design, built for heavy rhythm playing with a katana-inspired beveled headstock.
About this guitar
Bia is OD Guitars’ agile, aggressive rhythm machine, built for players who want a power-driving guitar that stays accurate and balanced under heavy gain. It’s a refinement of OD’s earlier Cytherea model, keeping the core body shape while upgrading details and dialing in playability and tone. Natural Geometric (NG) chambering unique to Bia keeps the instrument balanced top to bottom while opening it up acoustically, and a katana-style, beveled-edge harp headstock rounds out the design. Built to order with OD’s full customization menu, and available in 6-, 7-, or 8-string, standard or multiscale configurations.
