R-458 BK Progressiv Series : Solid guitar that won't bust your wallet

10 years ago

After getting into more 7 and 8-string guitar music, I decided that I wanted to get my own to try to play and write in heavier styles. Obviously I didn't want to spend too much just to find out it wasn't for me, so this was the perfect option.

The neck is surprisingly comfortable, and the action is great. Obviously the pickups aren't going to melt your face off, but sound decent enough to write and play with. I may end up switching them out eventually, I like the guitar so much.

There's nothing that really feels cheap or tacky about the build; it's solid and reliable. I see a lot of criticism saying the build feels cheap, but honestly, I really like it, and for the money, it's an excellent purchase.
