NGD: My First Multiscale®

[Sleezy E]

So I threw caution to the wind today and picked up my first multiscale 6 string because I always wanted to try one and the deal seemed to good to be true.

It's a Halo Inverted 6 string

I don't know much about the brand, but judging by their website they do build to order guitars (I'm guessing cnc) that you can mix and match body shapes, necks, hardware, etc.

Like I said, this is the "Inverted" multiscale 6 neck through model with Bare Knuckle Juggernauts, wholly fuq

I was eyeballing it on offerup for a few weeks and the dude started at 1g.. he dropped it to $600 and I offered him a trade + cash. He wasn't interested in my trade so I countered with 5 hundo straight up and he took it.

The satin neck feels amazing, the guitar is loud as hell acoustically and the bare knuckles are amazeballz. It sits in my lap perfectly. I think I'm in love... on to the pics!!

I’m digging it! Never heard of that brand before but the fit and finish looks amazing. Congrats!

Me neither, and I was afraid it was some Eart or FireFly or whatever cheap amazon crap that's been floating around lately..

Nope. Thing is solid

Congrats! That neck is crazy.

 

[FuzzyAce]

Congrats! That seems like a lot of guitar for the money spent.

I'd love to check that out, one of the few unique shapes I didn't turn my head to immediately! That looks pretty killer, man! Enjoy!

 

[HomespunEffects]

Very cool! How does a multiscale feel?

Those Bare Knuckle pickups are addictive. You’ll never be happy with Dimarzio ever again.

You sir are a scholar and a gentleman.

That looks awesome

 

[Warmart]

Damn! You pretty much stole that, the pickups are $400 or so! Don't think I've ever seen that cover style but like how they are routed without legs visible!

Huge congrats, may you love it long time!

 

[spawnofthesith]

Looks cool! congrats!!

If you lived closer I'd have you over for a rip!

Very comfortable and easy to get used to.

Barring chords in drop D is weird at the lower frets tho

As far as the Juggernauts, they are legit. I played a couple of my other humbucker guitars last night to compare and the bare knuckles are smooth and rich sounding in comparison

So this isn't the baritone version then?

Nope.

26.7" scale on the bass side to 25.5" on the treble

 

[likitlikeyoulikeit]

Nope.

26.7" scale on the bass side to 25.5" on the treble

So it technically could be a baritone, if you wanted....right?


Edit ---- answered my own question.... according to their site, they consider it a multi scale baritone. This was just for my own dumb curiosity.

Possibly, would have to cut the Nut for the larger strings

I just checked the site ...they list it as a baritone....but maybe the original owner got it customized for standard.....sweet guitar... especially if it's a baritone and comfortable in a sitting position....sweet buy.
