best 8 string on the market with major flaw that makes it unusable
So the r-458 multi-scale range of HB guitars is hit n miss.
if you are lucky enough and your guitar had solid QC here's what you'll get:
- absolutely fantastic and comfortable D shaped neck ( better than Ibanez )
- beautiful maple ( or roasted maple ) neck with gorgeous fretboard
- smooth and polished frets
- no major fret buzz ( for comparison these guitars have better frets than ibanez rgdms8 which is 5times more expensive - not kidding )
- nicely cut nut
- 3.5kg weight with no neck dive
- killer looking guitar ( both roasted model and maple model )
- stock tunners that do it's job
if you're unlucky:
- sharp frets
- some uneven frets ( fret buzz )
- badly cut nut
- faulty tunners
general ergonomics con:
- access to high register is impossible because the huge brick of wood that is connected on the neck side.
Now here comes the deal breaker. no matter if you get good or bad item, what you'll get 100% is the major flaw which makes this guitar unfortunately a DONT BUY.
PICKUPS:
good: electronics is connected well - no grounding issues
terrible:
- these pickups are just horrible and noisy. unless you put a very heavy noise gate it's horrendous
- now the MAJOR FLAW !
- these pickups won't cover the high e string ! it has 50-60% lower volume no matter what pickup adjustments you'll make (only on par with other strings volume is present on middle position, bridge and neck you're out of luck) this is obviously caused by the bad magnets in the pickups and positioning on the fan fret instrument.
In order to fix this, you need to buy new pickups, which will be more expensive than the guitar itself so instead of buying guitar for 190EUR, you'll spent additional 400euro on pickups - if HB could fix this major flaw which makes the guitar unusable, it would be the best 8 string guitar for ridiculous price on the market on par with ibanez rgdms8 in terms of quality and ergonomics but 5 times cheaper.
