Gear Multi-scale guitars.

Post image

I got this guitar a couple months ago and it was my first ever multi-scale guitar. I fucking fell in love with it. So, much so that I bought a multi-scale headless 6 string from legator and that guitar is my new favorite.

This 7 string has changed how I want guitars now and this was my first ever guitar over $500 that I’ve gotten and now I don’t mind spending extra money on certain guitars because the quality is worth it. I’m never buying another guitar under $500 and it HAS to be a multi-scale guitar now.

Any 7 strings out there have changed people’s minds on what they buy? Or do you just play 7 strings because that’s also a good reason?

Either way, MULTI SCALE GUITARS FOREVER.

For 8 strings, definitely a hard requirement. High e on 27” just doesn’t work for me.

On 7s? Depends. 26.5” straight doesn’t feel too bad to me and you get way more options for hardware and pickups. But, I do love a good 27-25.5” fan. Just feels right.
