Legator Ninja Performance Multi-Scale 9-String Electric Guitar Satin Stealth Black

Mine came perfectly set up with nice tonal resonance characteristics, zero buzz, black as black ebony fingerboard...the pick ups are good figuring they have to cover so many octaves. I play clean mostly. I put in a 5 way super switch and rewired it for more tone options and drilled a hole and put in a tone knob. I just do that stuff for fun...it did not need it. I like how it comes with the battery slot on the back pre cut so if I decide to switch to active which I might someday especially as the tech continues to get better, it will be a easy switch. I really like having 9 strings.

Solid guitar, just needed the usual truss adjustments and basic setup. Only flaw I could point out is that fret ends are sprouted out the edges of the fretboard. Easy fix with the right tools and probably a result of buying in the winter and dry fretboard. Pikcups sound great for modern styles; palm mutes are tight and chords are clear. Probably a bit lower output than I'm used to, but the pickups' character and voicing makes up for it.

...it's amazing how much tweaking and upgrades I had to do to such a renowned brand just to make it playable. Out of the box had terrible action, tons of buzz even on the fifth and sixth strings. Was delivered with used/old strings. "Ebony" fretboard had a huge maple-colored diagonal streak through a mostly ebony-colored neck (even though it was a very weak-colored ebony). I mean, with words like "ninja" and "stealth" in the title and the stock photos you'd think the guitar would have a very dark profile but no, it was all over the place in visual tonality. Once I put new strings on and and completely revamped the bridge it actually sounded good. Oh, also the headstock has a weird aberration in the paint job where the finish flattens and a dime-sized blemish shows in high-lighting. What a chop-job lol.
