R-457MN WH Fanfret : An absolute Bargain

I definitely recommend this guitar !

I have been playing guitar for 20 years now and decided to finally try 7 strings and fanned frets .

The guitar itself looks great . There where no cosmetic issues or damange when it arrived .

The neck is very smooth and it feels as if the guitar wants to be played fast !

Its surprisingly light given the fact its not a small guitar .

The guitar sounds great , really heavy . The pickups give a good high gain sound not too unlike EMG pickups . When switching from my LTD's to this guitar the only change i make in my set up is i add an Ibanez tube screamer to bring the output up too match the active EMG's in my other guitars .

The only slight con for me is when playing hard the tuning can slip a little bit . Nothing major . I do plan to swap out the stock PUP's for Active EMG 81/85 to match the output of my other guitars but that's personal taste .

Overall this guitar is a steal and a joy to play .

Yet again Harley Benton hit it out of the park !
