Padalka Space – Shadow Burst Satin
There are guitars… and then there are things that look like they were reverse-engineered from a crashed spacecraft. This is firmly the second category.
This Padalka Space in Shadow Burst Satin is one of those builds that immediately separates itself from anything mass-produced. The silhouette alone looks like it shouldn’t exist, and yet the second you pick it up, it just makes sense. Lightweight, insanely ergonomic, and built with that “every detail matters” mindset that Padalka is known for.
The finish is wild in person—this ghosted Shadow Burst that fades from a pale, almost bone-like top into a deep, smoky low end. Satin the whole way, so it feels fast, raw, and alive. No gloss, no nonsense.
And then there’s the fretboard.
The flame maple board on this thing is absolutely ridiculous. Not subtle. Not polite. It’s got that tight, rippling figure that almost looks textured when the light hits it. It gives the entire guitar this high-end, almost custom furniture vibe—but still aggressive as hell.
Flip it over and it just keeps going.
The neck is a multi-piece Wenge and flame maple construction, and those runners down the back? Yeah… they’re not just structural—they’re visual fire. Dark Wenge contrasted with those bright maple stripes gives it that “built like a weapon” look, while also adding stability and snap.
Spec-wise, you’re getting everything you’d expect from a serious boutique build:
Mahogany body with a figured maple top for warmth and articulation
Bolt-on multi-piece neck for attack and clarity
Flame maple fretboard with a comfortable 14” radius and stainless frets
Hipshot hardware throughout—rock solid, no compromises
This one has been upgraded with Fishman Fluence Modern pickups, which takes it from boutique cool into full-on modern weapon territory. Tight low end, aggressive mids, and the ability to clean up way better than they have any right to.
Controls are simple and exactly what you want—volume, tone, and a 3-way switch. No gimmicks. Just usable tones.
Condition is excellent. Clean, well-kept, and ready to go.
Includes Mono soft case.
