Everyone was right about it coming with three E strings when you buy it. So you're going to need to buy some actual 8 string strings when you get this. I went super big 21-90. So I did have to drill the tuning peg out and it took about an hour to set up and get everything right. The guitar is actually very beautiful it looks very well made although it seems like there's some cheap parts here and there. But all in all for the price what more can you ask for? There was barely any blemishes if any. Was expecting less honestly. You might want to pay someone to set it up properly I guess I kind of got lucky and made it sound pretty good. I'm not that amazing at guitar so this was a good way to try out an 8 string and see if it's something I even like. I like. Get strings!

If you make sure to replace the guitar strings, you might find that this is your new favorite guitar. I looked for about a year for an 8 string, and not a single decent one could be found under $800 other than a black ESP which looked cheap. I took a gamble on this, I figured it's cheap enough that even if it's just an okay guitar it would be worth the money. This guitar has completely exceeded my expectations.The fretboard feels great, almost zero adjustment needed out of the box (except strings, love me some NYXL's), and it even comes with a canvas carrying case. I only have two complaints, that the finish of the guitar is more matte than shown in the photos, so the color is more muted than I expected, and that the tuners/selector/knobs feel somewhat plastic like. Neither are big deals at this price. Usually you get what you pay for but this time, you get so much more.

It’s hard to find an 8 string with a Fender scale length. This was just the ticket. It set up nicely and the 5 piece neck is stable. Appreciate that they left the nut slots high so that I could cut to my own specs. Great sound and sustain. Very pleased with purchase.

If you want to test out an 8 string this is a good starter. You will want heavier gauge 7 and 8 strings , go to 80 gauge on 8. It comes with 66 gauge and is not tight enough to play

Definitely worth the price. The strings needed immediate replacement and it needed some minor setup and intonation work, but it turned out to be a really decent guitar. Might upgrade the electronics sometime down the road, but I'm happy with it for now.

TITLE: Worth the moneyGuitar arrived intact and cosmetically flawless - beautiful from front to back, top to bottom. Might not be playable right out of the box like mine was. After changing the strings to Ernie Ball 10-74 Nickel Wound, adjusting the action, attempted intonation adjustments (saddle screw too short), and tightening the tuning pegs - it's working quite well.NOTE: If you don't change the strings right after you get the guitar, you won't hear the potential of the full 8-Strings. The low "B" and "F#" strings will flop around like wet noodles.Would buy from this vendor again - 5-Star !!

A great 8 string that I could afford, he’s very pleased with it and says it’s fun to play.

Update: changed out the pickups, got it properly set up and adjusted and this thing is now running smoothly. Still worth it.Great feel. Love the sound of the pickups. Needs some additional work with the tuning pegs and a good set of strings. This is my first 8 string guitar so getting it at this price is perfect.
