GAS Viva® La Prima White Blonde – Lightweight Finnish-Built Offset Character

The GAS Viva® La Prima White Blonde is a lightweight offset guitar built from Finnish tonewoods, combining modern playability, carefully selected components and a distinctly vintage-inspired aesthetic. Weighing only around 3.08 kg, it feels exceptionally comfortable both on stage and during longer playing sessions.

The one-piece body is made from Finnish poplar and finished in White Blonde with gloss nitrocellulose lacquer. The lightly aged finish, together with the black Bakelite pickguard, gives the guitar a naturally worn-in character without taking away from its clean, elegant lines.

Both the neck and fingerboard are made from roasted Finnish birch. The separate fingerboard features a curved underside construction that adds rigidity to the neck, while two carbon-fibre reinforcement rods further improve stability. A Soft V profile, compound 9.5″–12″ radius and 22 Jescar jumbo stainless-steel frets give the guitar a precise, effortless and distinctly modern playing feel.

Electronics are handled by GAS handwound Alnico 2 humbuckers. The 7.2 kΩ neck pickup delivers a warmer, more open voice, while the powerful 16.4 kΩ bridge pickup brings considerably more punch, authority and bite. A straightforward Volume/Tone layout with a Switchcraft 3-way toggle keeps the controls simple, intuitive and stage-ready.

A Mastery Bridge and Mastery Tremolo complete the offset platform with exceptional feel and responsiveness. Kluson Vintage tuners, CTS pots, Switchcraft components and Schaller S-Locks round out a specification where every part has been chosen with serious playing in mind.
