RGMS8PB
Using the trapezoidal 27.26"/25.5" scale for 8-string, RGMS's multiscale neck construction provides an equalized tension that creates a lively, open tone. Designed for playability, the slants are matched with the player's hand angles to facilitate quick playing along with the flatling on the 12th fret. By setting the horizontal point close to bridge's side, shredding in high frets is easy.
