R-458MN WH Fanfret : I wasn't expecting much

5 years ago

I'm not a guitarist but i wanted a 8 string guitar in the studio so i can help writing riffs for my band. I was pleasantly surprised when i got it. It had some tiny, tiny blemishes in the finish which are only visible if you inspect it very closely. I dont care about that though, especially for the price.

The sound isnt bad at all, it's not great but i was expecting it to sound alot worse. Some fiddling around with the amp and i get a tone that's well worth keeping on a demo.

Tuning stability is decent aswell. I've had worse tuners on guitars costing alot more so i cant complain.

Feels great to play and it looks awesome! Sure i wouldnt use it on a album recording. But if i was a starting guitarist wanting to learn to play a 8string or fanned fret guitar i would highly suggest getting this!
