R-458MN WH Fanfret : Excellent first 8 String Guitar, \m/ Metal Approved \m/

I think this guitar is an excellent choice if you want to experiment with 8 strings and not spend a lot of money,

It loos amazing, the body has some contours that definitely catch your attention, overall is well constructed and feels solid, the tuners are not the best but they do what they have to do.

The guitar has very good tuning stability, the neck profile is thin

The only thing I did notice is that the frets needed a little more polish, but the more you play with it, will eventually do not bother you, as the frets will polish on normal use.

Pickups are OK, they do not have that hum noise, as posted on other comments, maybe they changed something.

Another thing! the fretboard is Maple if i'm not wrong, not Amaranth as is shown on the picture, but that change for me makes the guitar looks better, see the pictures for the 7 string version, looks like that one, but this one is 8
