Legator - Ninja Super Shred 8-string Lefty Multi-scale Black

Designed with left-handed players in mind, this Legator Ninja Super Shred 8-string guitar in satin black finish takes a very direct approach to modern playing. As soon as you pick it up, you'll feel that the instrument is trying to stay stable, even when you're going low in the tunings or stringing together technical riffs.

The multi-scale neck really makes a difference. The lower strings gain in tension thanks to a longer pitch, which avoids the blurred effect you can sometimes get with 8-strings. On the other hand, the high strings remain supple, which makes for pleasant playing for solos or fast licks. The fan-shaped frets take a little getting used to, but then become quite natural under the fingers.

The three-piece maple neck, with its satin finish, remains fluid and fast. The Richlite fingerboard, with its evolving radius, easily follows variations in play, whether you're moving from wide chords to more precise passages.

In terms of sound, the AfterShock active pickups maintain good definition, even when saturated. Each note stays in place, without blending. If you're left-handed and play modern metal, djent or progressive, this is clearly a model that works for you, without making life difficult.
