R-458BK Fanfret : Very nice for the price

I bought this guitar in June 2019, so I guess this year's version could be different.

Tuning pegs suck, 2 of them are a bit loose too, neck feels great, frets could use a bit of filing but they are ok. bridge is nice, perfect intonation from the factory, stock strings are absolutely unusable, throw them in the trash as soon as you get the guitar.

Pickups are ok, not great, not bad, a bit muddy (I like them, for black and doom metal they fit quite well, not much for a tight sounding tone though). Pickups are active and slanted, because of the fan fret, keep this in mind if you want to change pickups (active should all be fine, but you will need slanted passives for sure), with an included 9v. Stock nut is a bit too large and could scratch your hand.

It's a great guitar for modding, change the pickups, the tuning pegs and maybe the saddles and you have a killer guitar for a great price. The fretboard's wood looks absolutely gorgeous (Purpleheart wood), but it was very dry from factory.

Just don't buy it you don't plan on modding, unless you want to tune every 15 min of playing.
