RGMS8-BK Multiscale : Excellent guitar for the price

Great guitar for the price.

Pros:

- Multiscale

- 5 position switch, so we have 2 positions using single coils

- Sounds great !

- Price

Cons:

- Finish is not perfect. Some marks at the back of the headstock.

- The nut is a little high on mine, making the strings a little hard to play near the headstock.

- The neutral fret is the 12th making the angle quite pronounced at the top of the neck. Combined with the high nut, it makes barred chords very tricky to play at this location. Otherwise the fanned frets are not bothering me.

Spent lockdown with this guitar. I switched from 6 to 8 strings with it. Didn't need much time to adapt my playing. The neck is very large of course but also very thin and easy to play.

Pickups sound great. 2nd and 4th positions offers the neck pickup in parrallel, and one coil from each pickups. This 4th position is amazing for playing stuff like Animals as Leaders using the slap/thump technique, or play funk or clean chords.

Bridge pickup is good, and the neck pickup has a nice attack which is great for soloing.

Solid choice for anybody who want to dive in the 8 string world while retaining the ability to solo thanks to the 25.5" scale on the high strings.
