Ennea-H
The headless evolution of Padalka's Ennea bass — originally a double-cut, later single-cut, now built on Padalka's proprietary headless hardware.
About this guitar
Ennea-H takes Padalka’s legacy Ennea bass design and rebuilds it on proprietary headless hardware. Offered in 4, 5, or 6-string form with standard, multiscale, or custom scale lengths, each instrument is hand-built to order with the customer’s own wood, hardware, and electronics choices.
