R-458BK Fanfret : Love it

Why not, let's give it a go! This guitar is an awesome introduction into 8-string guitars. Also awesome to experiment with and try some mods you always wanted to do.

I did expect I had to do a little work on this guitar, as you can expect at this price point, so I recommend to get a fret file and fret rubbers. The edges of the frets were a little sharp so I filed those and after that I polished the fret to a mirror like finish. Took about 1,5 hours.

The stock strings were a little too thin for my taste so I replaced those with an Daddario EXL140-8 set.

I own a couple of 'metal' guitars in different price ranges. The most expensive I have is about 800 euros. And I play this guitar the most at the moment. Inspiration just sparks with this guitar.

If you do a little work I think you can get this guitar the way you like.
