Legator - Ninja Super Shred 8-string Multi-scale Death Valley

With its Death Valley colour and Buckeye Burl top, this Legator Ninja Super Shred 8-string is an immediate eye-catcher. The sound is organic, almost raw, with nuances that change with the light. But behind the visual is an instrument designed for guitarists who work in the lower registers and with precise rhythms.

The mahogany body is thinner and lighter, and once you've got the guitar in your hand, you'll soon forget all about it. You can play for a long time without feeling tired, whether in rehearsal or during more intense sessions. The three-piece maple neck, with its satin finish, stays fluid and fast, which really helps when you're stringing together technical passages.

The multi-scale really comes into its own on an 8-string. The bass remains tight and legible, even with heavy saturation, while the treble remains supple under the fingers. The fan-shaped frets take a little getting used to, but then become natural, especially for modern rhythms.

In terms of sound, the AfterShock active pickups maintain good separation between notes. Chords stay clean, attacks come out well, and you retain control even in busy situations. This is a guitar that will clearly appeal to fans of modern metal, djent or progressive, who are looking for a reliable tool to take their playing to the next level.
