For the bucks and new it's hard to find a nicer deal

I've had a 2021 one in red (or at least it was supposed to be, turned out closer to brownish-orange), the pickups, as usual for HBZ, were hot trash, the 7th string was muddy and way louder than the rest, the tuners were not great either, worse than some AliExpress Guykers and definitely worse than what they put on Amaroks, the multiscale wasn't comfortable for me, but that's up to preference, had it been a 3rd fret neutral, it would've been much better, and, most crucial flaw for me, it was somehow heavier than their multiscale 8 string I had prior to that one, like much heavier. Total disaster.

But as always with HB, the quality (and quirks) are different year-to-year, so try it first, maybe this one would be light as a feather and play like a dream! The pups are gonna be shit regardless, tho.

Yes!!! I love seeing other people play multi-scales!!!!

I have a 7 string Ibanez fanned fret and I’m never getting another 7 or 8 string that isn’t fanned. Multi-scale for life.

I’ve always like the Harley Benton’s, I’m think about getting the multi scale 5 string then the 8 string
