I have discontinued a number of models over the years. Some were no longer fitting into the style I wanted to see in Padalka Guitars, others, like the recent lineup renewal, I decided to discontinue after me and Daria, who was the concept creator for most of those models, went our separate ways. Redesigning was an idle thought until the country around me gone to chaos and I decided to move to Canada, joining Dingwall Guitars as a master builder. At that point I had no idea when I will be able to restart Padalka Guitars in Canada and I announced my decision to discontinue the whole lineup with the exception of the Ennea bass, which was my original design and became a definitive model for the brand. You can read the story behind it HERE

But luckily, those models did not go into obscurity. A company that was on my waiting list asked if they could buy those designs. Since many of them were more Daria’s than mine that decision was up to her. But I was optimistic, as it was a much better future for the models we worked on for so long.

This deal was conditional and it lined up with the values of Infinia Guitars founders. Everything had to be done in style, with uncompromising quality, a strong sense of integrity, and up to the Padalka Guitars standards, all while avoiding overseas mass production.  

Fast forward to today, Infinia has launched with two iconic designs: the Ceres - originally designed by me as a Padalka CS model and Neptune. Reintroduced with the same precision, innovation, and artistry that made them special. Every guitar is built in Europe, using only the finest materials and sustainable practices. This ensures that each instrument is not only beautiful, but also ethically produced.

The price is €3,599 in Europe and pretty much the same number in USD for the US.
We’re bringing back not only the past models but also the 2018 prices :)

Infinia was created to continue the Padalka legacy, but it became much more than that. It’s more than a platform for honoring the past, it turned into a home for visionary designers to create instruments they couldn’t within the limits of their own brands. That vision led them to Sheldon Dingwall, who embraced the idea immediately, created a concept and with the team here at Dingwall we built a prototype that will become another Infinia model - Titan

Speaking of collaborations, I will be the official service point for North America, in case your Infinia needs minor fixing. No more transcontinental shipping or searching for local techs.

Also, the only way I’m compensated for any of this is if you buy using my links in this post. And if you are placing a custom order make sure to let them not that I sent you.

The brand launched on September 26 at the Guitar Summit with over 20 guitars immediately available.
On the website you can find available guitars or make a custom order.
