New Abis Products Are On Their Way
Within the month, I should be receiving an upgraded version of the Abis SA-1, the SA-1B. The SA-1B will be available in silver and black, and has numerous refinements. Art Dudley will receive the arm and report on its performance. As well as the upgraded SA-1, I will be receiving the Abis TA-1L, a 12" version of the TA-1. We expect it to offer tremendous performance for the dollar, especially considering the high prices for most 12" arms.
For consumers, Mockingbird will reduce prices to $1999 for both the SA-1B and TA-1L, and $1799 for the TA-1. This is strictly limited to the North American market, and I will not sell arms to customers outside of my market. The prices are reduced on my end, and not by Abis. It is my desire to see these arms gain the recognition they deserve and see the craftsmen rewarded for their hard work by giving them more work. Prices will be good through the end of the year.
Below is the prototype TA-1L (with regular TA-1 badge--still waiting for those), along with initial specifications, to be finalized soon.
