Bought this as my first 8-string. Quite happy with the purchase. A few downsides tho. The tone knob doesn't fit flush with the body. Not a huge deal but when playing it does catch my attention. Not noticeable from far though. Second con is that it doesn't have locking tuners. For a guitar in this price range I sort of expect locking tuners, especially when the guitar doesn't have some elite pickups like the fishman fluences. That felt disappointing but still seems to hold the tuning well. At least in drop E.

Then some pros.

The pickups sound surprisingly good. I was impressed. A bit too much low end so you might want to cut some in your amp. Also the cover on them is weird. It's some sort of heat tape which is weird but doesn't affect the thing. Fretwork was pristine. No sharp edges, and intonation was almost perfect, just a few tweaks and played like a charm.

The 5 way blade selector is cool and gets you some wicked sounds, a big pro there. Also the guitar is LIGHT I was surprised and in the best way possible.

Neck was so beautiful and although very thin it felt amazing to play and wasn't weird at all

Definitely suggest if this is your first 8 string or multi scale but there are cons. Plays like a beast
