“Abigail is a pickup god. I named the ABI after her to make sure she’s never forgotten”: Legendary pickup builder Abigail Ybarra comes out of retirement for a new line of guitars with a former Fender Master Builder

Castedosa Guitars.

Legendary pickup builder Abigail Ybarra has come out of retirement to work on a new line of Castedosa guitars, which have been built to honor her legacy as a “pickup god”. 

Although few details have been revealed so far, the new ABI model is clearly inspired by the Stratocaster, albeit with accentuated curves. It features three single-coil pickups and a sparkling pink finish, with the guitar bringing together the rich experience of two former Fender employees.
