KX508MS II Marina Blue Burst : Great 8 string

I have this guitar for a few months now and am very pleased with it. The Fishman pickups sound huge and the coil taps/push-pull knobs give a lot of possibilities for tonal variety. Very sturdy, looks beautiful with a great porous wood satin texture and it's one of the only 28 inch multiscale 8 string guitars out there in the under 1000 euro price range.

The only minor points have come down to QC. For a guitar in this price I would have expected a very smooth finish on the neck and frets but was not exactly the case. While the satin feel on the neck is great, around the 12th fret there seems to be a small patch of unfinished, somewhat rough wood, plus some frets do seem to be a tiny bit sharp. Having said that, it is not like I'm getting splinters and fret cuts, it runs quite smooth but for the price I do consider those minor points.

In general, I'm very happy with it and it is definitely a keeper!
