R-458BK Fanfret : best multiscale for this price

6 years ago

I have an 8-string Ibanez RG8, I decided to purchase it to try the multiscale fretboard.

I'm totally satisfied with this guitar. Feels comfortable to play it, no real issues with the build. The neck is a bit thicker than I'm used to with my other guitars (especially the Ibanez) but really good.

The only downside of this instrument is the useless original pickups.

From the A string down to the F#, nothing is clear enough, even the power chords are overwhelmed by the bass range of the pickups.

However, with a quick pickup swap, you can easily solve this issue.

For this price, I think it was the best choice to try the multiscale 8 string world. Would buy it again.
