Legator Ghost G9 9-String Multi-Scale Headless Guitar, Ebony Fretboard, Crimson

PLAYER'S PERSPECTIVE

This Legator Ghost is a marvel both for the eyes and for the hands and ears.  The Crimson fade finish exudes the inherent "djent on me!" aesthetic - which, make no mistake, this guitar is about through and through.

One would think that picking up a multi-scale guitar, especially a 9-string beast like this one, would need some getting used to, but we were pleasantly surprised to find that Legator's extended range axes feel pretty natural to move over to from a more conventional 6-string instrument. Legator did a great job with the neck profile, fanned frets, and scale length taper for a very intuitive experience.

High-gain riffage is there in spades on this axe thanks to the acoustic clarity and attack of the swamp ash body, roasted maple neck and ebony fretboard combined with the renowned Fishman Fluence active humbuckers, which have become known for their extreme clarity under heavy distortion. They retain string definition and high-end punch along with a tight low-end boom all the way down to the lowest note. Finally, the no-nonsense control layout - master volume, 3-way switch, and a push-pull on said volume to switch between 2 distinct Fishman voicings - and simple hardtail bridge configuration allows you to focus on one thing and one thing only: kicking ass.

If you're looking for a unique headless 9-string that will draw heads in with its gorgeous looks, then tear them off with crushing tone, this Ghost is definitely more than worth a look!
