R-458MN WH Fanfret : For this cost you won't find a better extended range multiscale guitar

I got this guitar as a test to see if 8 strings multiscales are 'my thing'. I immediately fell in love with it as it is quite comfortable and the sound is not bad at all.

I only have one complain about it. To this day, in June 2020, it is still listed with an Amaranth fretboard. Please not that this is NOT the case. I got mine with maple fretboard and black dot inlays. I actually like it more like this and that's why I would not ask for a return. But keep it in mind if you are really a fan of Amaranth. :)

Moreover, you have probable seen some online reviews about these models where a 'muddy' tone form the pickups is mentioned. I don't know if the problem has been fixed but mine sound alright with clean tones. Totally usable even at high levels.
