Amazing instrument all around
JP2Guitar 28.08.2020
This guitar is incredible!!! You get neck thru construction, locking tuners, fanned frets and the upgraded Roswell pickups which sound great. The green finish looks even better in person, I mean, there are no downsides to this. Just buy it already!!!

Great guitar
LeBigMac 10.10.2022
I would highly recommend this to anyone looking for their first multi scale 8 string guitar. The action is perfect, color is beautiful, plays like an absolute dream. only downside is its sounds a bit bland but with a good amp or affects pedal it sounds great. I'm very impressed with Thomann and the product they can offer at such a decent price.

Fantastic value for money
James Palmer 02.05.2020
For £338, I could not have hoped for a better 8 string guitar. Almost everything about it is fantastic. The frets are all level, the neck is great, the finish on the body is great. The only downside to this guitar is the pick ups aren't amazing, but they get the job done and can always be swapped if you really want to as they are active routed. I would definitely recommend this to anyone looking for their first multi scale 8 string guitar

A very solid instrument for the price
MyBurdenToBury 14.03.2023
Ill keep this somewhat short and to the point.You'd be challenged to find a better product with these specs in the price range offered.For $350 U.S my guitar came in 4 days from Germany packed with care.The QC was on point despite what other reviews reflect.I had no issues aside from a minor finish imperfection.The guitar was set up nicely out of the box and the fret ends are smooth.I paid 3 times this amount for a name brand Fender last year with sharp frets multiple qc flaws and poor packaging.Getting the quality guitar i did at a fraction of the price from Thomann was refreshing and I couldn't be happier, it's one of my daily drivers now.😀

Incredible for the price!!
GrayMonday 28.11.2023
Bought this as my first 8 string, been playing 11 years and wanted to try something new. Package came to the uk I damaged and very well protected, no problems at all.

The bottom line with this guitar is that it’s incredibly well spec’d and made for the price. The build quality, qc and parts used are all nearly on a level with my Ibanez rg921 (which costs three times this guitar!), the only exception being the pickups. They aren’t particularly defined, definitely lacking clarity. But not bad at all for £350!! No sharp fret ends, smooth and pretty accurate locking tuners, no grounding issues and a lovely satin finished neck!! Overall very happy with this instrument :)

Pros:
-Fit and finish, nicely playable out of the box, no sharp frets
-Pure amount of features for the price, multiscale, separate saddles, neck through
-The colour!!

Cons
-One string off on intonation, action a tiny bit uneven (nothing a 30 minute service can’t fix!)
-Pretty muddy pickups, especially when using the bottom 2 strings, though far better than other guitars of the same price.

Cool!!!
SadPC 14.05.2020
For cheap 8-string guitar it sounds awesome. The only thing which I don't like is nut. It's very sharp underneath.
The tone is pretty good and tuning pegs are cool.

steal deal! (with some fret issues)
exniemiec 03.01.2024
Fanfret 8 string neck through for this ridiculous price is absolute win! Guitar came set up pretty well, low action, almost no fret buzz. Quality build and paint is on point (remember, sub 400€ price) , the impression it gives easily compares with +1500€ instruments. Electronics are basic, but sound is in your signal chain, not pickups ;) locking tuners are also welcomed, tuning stability is very good even if you're heavy handed. The only mishap there is finish of the frets, not a big problem if you're handy with your tools, but some edges stick out, can scratch softer hands, also top of the frets was rough, you could really feel strings scratching during bends. Frets polishing would definitely add to a quality factor here.
Other than that very well rounded and inspiring to play instrument.
