Legator Ninja N9 Multi-Scale 9-String Guitar, Ebony Fretboard, Iris Fade Satin
Player's Perspective
We're stoked to present this true monster of an axe from our friends at Legator - an N9 Multi-Scale 9-String Ninja. The gorgeous Iris Fade finish immediately catches your eye with its light-to-dark purple gradient, and the sunken finish highlights the fantastic swamp ash grain beautifully. It exudes the inherent "djent on me!" aesthetic - which, make no mistake, this guitar is about through and through. The contrast of the awesome-feeling one-piece roasted maple neck and ebony fretboard along with the reversed, matching Trans Iris Fade headstock as well as the choice of black chrome hardware adds to the visual distinction of the whole package.
One would think that picking up a multi-scale guitar, especially a 9-string beast like this one, would need some getting used to, but we were pleasantly surprised to find that Legator's extended range axes feel pretty natural to move over to from a more conventional 6-string instrument. Legator did a great job with the neck profile, fanned frets, and scale length taper for a very intuitive experience.
High-gain riffage is there in spades on this axe thanks to the acoustic clarity and attack of the swamp ash body, roasted maple neck and ebony fretboard combined with the renowned Fishman Fluence active humbuckers, which have become known for their extreme clarity under heavy distortion.They retain string definition and high-end punch along with a tight low-end boom all the way down to the lowest note. Finally, the no-nonsense control layout - master volume, 3-way switch, and a push-pull on said volume to switch between 2 distinct Fishman voicings - and simple hardtail bridge configuration allows you to focus on one thing and one thing only: kicking ass.
