Legator - Ninja Super Shred 8-string Std-scale Black

When you pick up this Ninja Super Shred 8-string, you quickly realise who it's for. Despite its 8 strings, the format remains accessible thanks to a standard 27.5" pitch, which avoids the overly tense or confusing feel that some extended ranges can give. The slender three-piece maple neck literally glides under your hand. If you're working on fast planes, tapping or syncopated djent-style riffs, everything becomes more fluid and natural. The light, well-balanced mahogany body makes long sessions much less tiring.

In terms of feel, the ebony fingerboard with an 18" radius gives a fairly flat surface, ideal for rapid leads without straining. The medium jumbo stainless steel frets hold up well over time and provide a clean feel under the fingers, with little frizz even when you're attacking hard. Access to the treble is unobstructed thanks to the double cutaway, so getting to the last few frets requires no particular effort. This is the kind of guitar that really accompanies technical playing without holding it back.

In terms of sound, the Aftershock ceramic humbuckers are straight to the point. When clean, they're precise and legible, perfect for modern arpeggios or prog ambiences. As soon as you turn up the gain, you'll find a clean attack and tight bass, ideal for heavy riffs and extended chords. The 5-position selector allows you to vary the textures, almost like a split, opening up interesting possibilities both in the studio and on stage.
