Prezzo perfetto per entrare nel mondo malvagio
Darillone 11.02.2023
Ragazzi, volete entrare nel mondo della malvagità, senza spendere una quantitá di dobloni eccessiva? Questa chitarra vi permette di sperimentare la tastiera Multi-scala e le "due corde di troppo" ad un prezzo senza senso, praticamente. Inoltre il colore é una figata (in stile Music man JP7).

Due sole pecche:
- L'action é un po' altino, quindi i primi giorni sará un po' complicato abituarsi.
- I pickup sono passivi (mi aspettavo degli attivi), non hanno un buon attacco e non sono versatili. Sono super giusti per il prezzo complessivo dello strumento comunque, per cui ci stanno.

In generale, se avete manualità, potreste cambiare facilmente i pickup, e mettere una coppia di attivi, dato che nel vano dell'elettronica c'é spazio a sufficienza per una batteria; a quel punto lo strumento diventa molto piú interessante.

Compratela.

Gorgeous Finish, Killer Neck, And An Impressive Overall Package
The Bensonator 16.02.2023
For all the Harley Bentons I've owned over the past couple of years, I've owned all the available seven string models, and they've been pretty great - but I had yet to own an eight string. I've been wanting the Multiscale-8 for a while, but every time the money was available it was out of stock. When HB announced this guitar, the timing was just right with my finances, and the roasted necks I've played in the past left a great impression, so I figured I'd give it a shot.

The shipping box had virtually zero padding in it - a single sheet of the butcher paper was stuck at the very bottom, protecting basically nothing - but the guitar box was unharmed, and the guitar arrived in pristine condition. The finish is *phenomenal*, and the pictures simply don't do it enough justice. It's one you may already be familiar with, as it's been on a bunch of guitars over the years - most notably the Music Man John Petrucci signatures under the name Mystic Dream . The color shift looks great in lighting, and it gives this guitar a really unique character.

The real secret of this guitar, though, is the incredible roasted neck. The neck on my guitar is immaculate - the fret ends are perfect, with not a sharp end to be found, and the feel is excellent. It's a very natural feeling neck, with a really gentle satin finish, and most importantly the fretboard ISN'T BONE DRY FOR ONCE! The profile is thin and pretty flat, but not an overexaggerated kind of flat, so it's comfortable for extended periods of playing. The fan of the frets isn't super wide, so it doesn't take long to get used to, but if you're not used to a multiscale neck you may want to try one first.

The electronics, unfortunately, are a weak point (as has been noted about the regular neck R-458 in the past). Despite being described as "hi-gain", the pickups are pretty moderate in output, and don't nail the modern 8-string metal crunch as much as they do an early djent kind of tone. They're not noisy or anything, but kind of underwhelming depending on your expectations. Fortunately, they're the same size as regular 8-string soapbar pickups, so they can be easily replaced. The 3-way switch is also kind of disappointing, considering the R-446 managed to pack in a 5-way switch, and those split-coil tones would be a nice addition on a guitar like this.

The rest of the hardware is quite good - even the tuners, which I usually have an issue with. The mono-rail bridge is comfortable, with no sharp edges and a pretty easy-to-adjust layout. Aside from the pickups, I don't really see anything that needs immediate replacement, but that always comes down to preference.

While it's not perfect, the R-458 Roasted is an impressive guitar with a gorgeous finish and an amazing neck. At this price, it's pretty hard to beat if you're in the market for an affordable eight string that stands out from the usual "blacked out" appearance.

One of the only unique looking 8 strings at such a price point
Zoli1999 15.03.2023
If you are interested in this instruments its probably because of the paint job and the roasted maple neck so I'll start by detailing those. The finish looks just as great in person as in the pictures, if not better. I tend to avoid glossy finishes since they are a real fingerprint magnet. I dont mind wiping off the body every day if it looks this great tho. I have found a small scratch under the bridge and on the back of the guitar, faults that I decided I can live with. They are not visible during regular use. You might get less lucky tho in which case you might have to return it.

This is my first roasted maple neck and fretboard so I can't comment on how it compares to the same wood on a different guitar but compared to what im used to it feels smooth and fresh. The caramel-like colour is great and the fretboard is easy to maintain. My fingers tend to be oily so I have to clean the fretboard often. This one is super easy to wipe clean thanks to the treatment on the wood. I haven't found any sharp edges whatsoever. The neck profile is comfortable for me but thats up to preference. Not super thin but its not chunky either, probbaly in the safe zone for most people.

A new set of strings is a must as with any new guitar but its even more important in this case since I found the gauges to be a bit light with 65 on the lowest string. Went with 09-80 and it made a great difference.
The frets are definitely a bit scratchy. Havent gotten around to polishing them but it shouldnt be too hard to fix. I wouldn't say it's unplayable but the scratches are audible which is annoying.

The pickups are ok. If this is your first 8 string and you just want to get your feet wet the tone probably won't matter that much. They sound exactly what you would expect for this price. Not great but they get the job done. If you like modding and you bought the instrument for its looks and roasted maple neck you can just put some new pickups in it anyway.

The hardware nice. This is the least exciting part of any guitar for me so there's not much I can say. I like that it's black since I think chrome on budget guitars can look kinda cheap sometimes. Black always looks premium. Everything sits in its place robustly. The switches and knobs are not easy to turn. I prefer it this way. Harder to mess with them accidentally and they give better feedback.

Lastly, the build quality of my unit is great. To put it shortly, nothing in the materials or the way the instrument was put together makes me think it was cheap.

Overall, I'ts hard to beat these looks and features at this price point. If it came with stainless steel frets I wouldn't even think to spend my money on something else. Amazing for your first 8 string, especially if you want something that differs from the usual metal colour palette.

Ordered this one on release day - absolutely stunning guitar!
RyanFromCanada 08.02.2023
For months I have been asking myself, do I really need a few more multiscale guitars? Then one day this beauty showed up on the Harley Benton Instagram and made the decision for me. I ordered this along with the R-457FFB on the day they were released. That was on a Tuesday, and I had them in my hands in Canada the following Monday, excellent service as always from Thomann.

The chameleon finish on this guitar is my all-time favourite guitar finish, so I might be a little biased due to that. The look isn't for everyone, and if it's not for you, that's ok, but I happen to love it. The satin finish on the neck of this guitar feels great to play and looks great on the roasted maple.

Fretwork and setup were fantastic out of the box. Action was a little high for me but was easily lowered without running into any fret buzz.

I won't say much about the sound of this guitar. I'm of the mind that pickups don't really matter and the only difference expensive brand name pickups make is a bigger hole in your wallet. These pickups are not microphonic, and they aren't noisy, that works for me. It sounds like an 8 string.

Hardware is on point. Like every guitar I buy, I swapped in some locking tuners before putting on some fresh strings. I don't see any need to change anything else.

Now, all that said, is this a perfect guitar? No. There are some minor finish flaws around the edge of the body and on the back of the neck. Do they bother me that much? No. It's important to remember that you can buy 5 of this guitar for the price of a similarly spec'd guitar from one of the "big brands"

Overall, Harley Benton knocks it out of the park again with an instrument that punches well above it's price point. I have over a dozen HBs now and will not hesitate to buy a dozen more.
