R-458MN WH Progressive Series : Good guitar but...

I bought it to try 8 string guitars before i'm buing something expensive. Got my package in two weeks with no damages on finish.

First impression is well made intrument, but you need to tune it and invest some money and time.

Neck is awesome, its very comfortable to play. But heel of the neck was not flat so i placed 0.7mm pick under heel to compensate angle. After this i can adsut height of strings.

Pickups are ok. Out of box bridge pickup was vey noisy, i thought it was bad quality, but as turned out ground cable unsoldered. Don't know its delivery porblem or so it was in the store.

Tuners are cheap and i planned to replace them. Not very responsive and not hold tune well.

Other furniture good don't need to be replaced.

Overall it's good intrument to try 8 strings.
