Legator Ninja N8FX Multi-Scale 8-String Guitar, Ebony, Fishman Fluence, Ruby

PLAYER'S PERSPECTIVE

This Legator Ninja N8FX sounds as killer as it looks! Legator is masterfully balancing the aspects of striking aesthetics, simple but effective functionality and a highly reasonable price on these models.

The Palemoon Ebony fretboard on this multi-scale axe is a stunningly unique piece of wood that almost looks like a halfway of ebony and maple, and it also has the bright, clear tonal qualities of both in the best ways possible. The California Buckeye Burl top has a wood grain unlike any other, and it just looks amazing under the incredible Ruby finish. Simply put, this guitar looks fantastic. The smooth pink-toned red gradient is very easy on the eyes.

Acoustically, this guitar combines the clearest and most focused of tonewoods with the aforementioned palemoon ebony fretboard, maple/wenge neck and swamp ash body. The Fishman Fluence pickups can get both delicate and monstrous with the push-pull voice control and player's touch, and the satin neck finish helps a lot in making players new to a extended-range multiscale instrument as comfortable as possible.

If you're looking for an aggressive axe in a wonderfully-executed multi-scale format that takes a great step forward into modernity and will blow your audiences' heads off with crushing looks and tone, the N8FX is definitely worth a look!
