R-458BK Fanfret : Great for trying an 8 string guitar

4 years ago

I wanted to try an 8 string and I had been thinking about this or Schecter Omen 8 but Schecter's price was a bit steep and scale lenght was short, so I went with this HB Fanfret.

Don't get me wrong, for the money it's a great guitar!

Sound is muddy as most other people say but nothing eq, compression or other plugin sorcery couldn't fix.

It also feels cheap (because it is cheap, duh), truss rod adjustment is wonky, tuners are really bad (like extremely bad).

All in all, if you want to see if 8 strings are for you, go ahead and buy it, you won't be disappointed.
