Buy This Guitar Immediately! Great 8-String Multi-Scale Guitar for Great Price: Will Buy More Aklots in the Future My husband's review: I included a picture of my modest pedal setup showing my bluish/purplish 8-String multi-scale Aklot guitar. Before anything else, this is a great quality guitar, especially considering the price. Because of the very reasonable price I was able to convince my wife I really needed this guitar! There is no such a thing as too many guitars. I like to go bad to good. None of the bad issues keep me from giving this guitar a 5-star rating. Let me list the bad-ish stuff first related to the product: • The guitar can be played out of the box after tuning; however you need to do some adjustments for optimal performance, which is reasonable considering the price. More below • String action: If you want to be able to do tapping you may need to lower the action on each of the strings • Pitch Optimization: The guitar is somewhat ready to play, but it is not completely "harmonized," that is, the half-string octave in the 12th fret will most likely not match the note in the 12th fret. You will need to take the time to adjust the length of each string by adjusting the bridge length (for the strings that need the adjustment), and if you modify the action after that, you will need to readjust the string's length again. If you don't do that, as you go up on the frets, the notes will sound out of pitch. The process is actually fairly easy and you can look for YouTube videos. Just make sure you have a good tuner. If you do not feel comfortable with this, you can take it to your local luthier/guitar technician at a music store • Guitar strap (picture included): The product includes a fairly sturdy guitar strap. It is a multi-instrument strap and it looks a bit awkward when you use it in the guitar… you have to do this weird loop to attach it to the guitar, and does not look neat, but I do appreciate the 3 pick slots Bad-ish stuff that is NOT product-related: • Getting used to the angular nature of the frets in a multi-scale guitar takes some time • It is easy to mess up your palm mutes on the bridges (each string essentially has its own bridge) But, why even mess with a multi-scale guitar? If you want to have precise and "buzz-free" playing in the lower strings, you need higher tension, which is best achieved with lengthier necks (bass guitars have longer necks). That does not work well for higher tone strings, often requiring thicker strings to put up with higher tensions leading to strings just breaking, which is no good. A multi-scale guitar is a compromise that allows the usual feel in the higher G(3rd)-B(2nd)-E(1st) strings, including lower action, and having a more precise and buzz-less-ish performance in the lower strings. Now, if you really want to go OCD on this, you can go to places like Stringjoy (Pre-selected sets available at Amazon) to get custom strings based on the tension you need So let's talk about the incredibly great features in this 8-string guitar I call "The Monster:" • Packing: The packing is superior! It is done to avoid damage to the guitar in transit • Packed Tuning: Strings are tuned to slightly higher notes from standard tuning to keep neck from warping if encountering extreme humidity and temperature changes during transit • Finish: Absolutely gorgeous. Body has incredibly shiny metallic highlights for the color you pick. Neck has the most absolutely smooth feel. Frets are incredibly smooth • Overall look and feel: Beautiful inlays in the neck; good headstock hardware for precision tuning, out-of-the-box solid state pickups (I have no plans to change them - although solid state may not be the terms I am looking for… solid surface?) • Gig bag: Really happy with the included gig bag! It has really good padding and a strap for the neck • Damper: I don't use a string damper for tapping (I typically use a bar with my first finger), but the one included is really nice, so heck, I just keep it available in case I have a need for it. Great look • Overdrive/Distortion Pedal: I've got to take some time to mention this little pedal. It is supposed to provide flexibility when dealing with baritone and lower tone guitars. It is much better than that. It is a great overall distortion/overdrive pedal for any guitar. Great control of the tones, output volume and gain Why am I taking the time to write all these words? Well, I am supper happy with this Aklot guitar, and I played a live show already with it after I did all the adjustments. My fellow band members all said "WOAH!" when I pulled it out of the gig bag. And the warm sound of the lower tones were very appreciated. Love it and I love tapping. This guitar offers me a much more affordable alternative to a "Chapman Stick" (All the respect to Tony Levin of King Crimson, Peter Gabriel and Liquid Tension Experiment fame…) I know that Aklot has 7 and 6 string multi-scale guitars, but they also have some awesome standard scale guitars… need to be sweet to my girl so she can let me buy a few more!!!

I have the 7 string. Feels great. Intonation is great. Looks amazing. Get this guitar before the price goes up because you can’t beat the value and the quality. It was packaged well and safe. The guitar also comes with a distortion pedal which I haven’t tried because I don’t have a 9v ac barrel jack but for me that’s fine because separately I have purchased a cool little Hotones Pulze mini to play around on. Great combo imo. This also came with picks and a strap as well as a guitar string mute. Check for what it all comes with because I may not be listing everything but it should be in the images. The controls and switch’s feel solid. It plays well out the box. Really, the only thing this awesome guitar doesn’t come with is guitar stand and a guitar amp!

This thing is beautiful absolutely amazed at what you receive. This brand is fantastic from customer service to guitar finish and comfortability. Pros (The Good Stuff): VALUE IS INSANE: Got this for $230. It feels like an $800+ guitar, seriously. BUILD QUALITY: The finish, the roasted maple neck, and the frets are perfect. This is where all the money went. NECK: The multi-scale neck (fanned frets) feels great and the heel is super clean. FREE STUFF: Comes with a backpack gig bag, a strap, a distortion pedal, and a string dampener. CUSTOMER SERVICE: They actually answered my questions and confirmed warranty coverage. Cons (The Bad Stuff): PICKUPS: after talking with customer support I may have got a bad set or something they were great fixing it. Verdict: If you are looking for a fantastic, high-quality chassis to upgrade, this is it. It is an instant 9/10 for the money. Buy it now and save up for new pickups!

got the red 7 first thing to notice is it's slightly smaller than a standard 7 from other brands i looked at like ibanez, but it makes it more comfortable so thats ok, at first glance your not sure its actually a 7. the lines are near perfect and the finish is beautiful and reminds me of cherry wood furniture, in person you can see the woodgrain underneath. Semi playable out of the box once tuned up but I usually change strings and do a onceover on the setup anyways, i wanted a multiscale since 2018 when they came out but the cheapest name brand being 600+ to try something new and the other off brands having issues lately it seems I thought it was off the table for a bit more time. I dont know where this came from but damn this is a machine. fretboard is flat and the neck is smooth. It actually feels a tiny bit thinner then my reg 6 and the whole kit looks very close to the CORT KX307 which is the original multiscale. Its got some weight to it but the archtop helps from being too heavy, overall i love this guitar and it made my hands hurt lol. Im glad they didnt cheese out with one of the other less dense woods as its very resonant with lots of sustain. Combined with the roasted maple fretboard the sound is warm and poppy without being too dark. This guitar should be able to play whatever style you want with ease. But it's definitely a shredder. even the pots feel above grade. Now I need a version with stainless frets and locking tuners please. The distortion is a simple dirt type filter but it's actually pretty nice. I run an AC30 style pedal as my base/clean tone, putting this in front sounds great. comparable to one of the settings on my fatrat pedal. lots of crunchy crunch but can be dialed back to a warm overdrive. even saturated the notes are clear. probably will sound really good in front of a lot of amps. as far as deals go this is truly a monster one, even if you have to go have it fully set up. also found out they make a 6 string version. if your interested in multiscale or 7 or 8 strings this is a killer starter. heck this thing smokes 80% of guitars in the price range, just wow.
