Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
The RGMS8 is an eight-string, right-handed solidbody guitar built around a 27.2-to-25.5-inch multi-scale layout. Its angled frets follow hand angles, with the horizontal point positioned near the bridge to make work high on the neck easier. The five-piece maple/walnut Wizard III-8 neck is made to handle the added tension of eight strings. A fixed Mono-Rail bridge is intended to reduce string-to-string interaction and support accurate intonation, while the Array 8 MS pickups deliver a responsive, tight growl for down-tuning.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Down-tuned eight-string parts requiring the RGMS8’s responsive Array 8 MS pickup voice.
- Fast playing across the neck, including high-fret work near the bridge-side horizontal point.
- Players who want the evened string tension created by the multi-scale construction.
Consider the trade-offs
When to look elsewhere
- Players seeking a six-string or seven-string guitar.
- Players who prefer a non-multi-scale fret layout.
