Description
The Ceres is Infinia’s flagship double-cutaway design, developed in collaboration with designer Daria Padalka as a continuation of her original shape for the now-retired Padalka CS Guitars. It’s built for players who want a traditional headstocked silhouette without sacrificing the ergonomics, weight control, and modern playability of a boutique performance instrument.
The Ceres body is chambered ash, chosen for its resonance and reduced overall weight, topped with a flame or quilted maple cap (grade and figuring vary by finish). Natural binding frames the top, and the body finish combines a gloss top with a matte back for a fast, non-sticky feel against the player’s body during long sets.
A nine-piece bolt-on neck built from maple, mahogany, and black maple gives the Ceres exceptional stability and a fast, articulate response — the multi-piece lamination is designed to resist the twisting and shifting that can affect single-piece necks over time. It’s carved in Infinia’s Custom C-Shape profile with a 19–20mm depth.
The fretboard is black Richlite, fretted with 24 medium-jumbo stainless steel frets on a 20″ radius — flat enough for comfortable bends and shred-friendly upper-fret access, without feeling unnatural for chord work. Side dots and inlays use 2mm Luminlay blue markers that glow after light exposure, useful on dark stages. Nut is a 44mm Black Tusq.
Standard-spec Ceres guitars ship with Infinia’s own Icarus (bridge) and Nautilus (neck) pickups — a versatile pairing that runs from tight, modern high-gain tones to clear, articulate cleans. Controls are kept deliberately simple: a 3-way blade switch, a volume control with push/pull coil-split, and a dedicated tone control — enough flexibility to split down to single-coil textures without a cluttered control layout.
Hardware is finished in black throughout, including a Hipshot-style fixed bridge and Infinia locking tuners for tuning stability.
This is one of the first Infinia guitars ever made and has been kept at our shop to introduce people to the brand, however it is in brand-new condition with original case/COA.
