Man, your playing is fire.

Thank you for the review and demonstration.

My custom Kiesel 9 string gets shipped within this week. Good stuff!

Man, your playing is top notch.

Please do a mix tutorial, your mixes sound insane

Partially why I rathered the new Agile 9 that's on my channel, incredibly slim neck and neck-thru really nice upper fret access. Love my 9 and can play just about anything I want on there besides crazy bends on the high obv. Definitely just a design thing, but nice playability is possible

i love those growling bears 3:54

I got a legator 7 a while ago and I love it. Tone is nasty

I have a legator N9 in iris fade and I love it

goes hard

Anxious for my Thurs delivery of my Agile 930. Looked at Legator but luv my other 2 Agiles so much. Really want the pickup industry to put out good 10 string pickups someday.

Seeing the double truss rod is a terrifying and beautiful thing. Bummer about the lower horn but nice playing!

I got one. The second voicing is just a slightly thinner tone that'll bring out different qualities when using clean reverb and delay, but almost no difference full gain. Try the second voicing on a clean channel and if there is no difference at all then the QC on your model sucked. The horn issue I've noticed too but you kinda have to wrap your hand around the side of the heel to get good fret access. Considering there's not much competition for the price and its features it seems you gotta settle unfortunately, but they do make a 9 string Ghost now for a little more than this thing.

I always wanted to get a 9 for weird tunings, not necessarily lower than a standard 8 string, different melody strings

I have the Legator N8FOD (8-string version) and it has the push pull knob too. It is for coil tapping the neck pickup. The reason why it does nothing for you is because you have the pickup selector on the bridge pickup.

I see your points with the high fret access ... and that's very unfortunate about the knob never had that happen :/ I have two 9 strings bt they are both Agile guitars, however my latest Legator is supposed to arrive tomorrow (Monday) 😈😈😈😈

I've been looking for a 9 String, and I am an Ibanez guy at heart and their most recent 9 looks good, however I don't think a 28" scale is gunna suffice. (Why they wouldn't multiscale it, is unbeknownst to me.) Was there any problems with this at all that require a good amount of work, or was it an odd thing or two that didn't harm playability? I have heard horror stories about Legator in the past, but has that cleared any at all?

2:35 have the same problem with my Schecter Damien Platinum 9 not sure what the manufacturer thought when they build such things :D probably "yeah they will most likely use the first 5 Frets and thats it" :D

3:53 is right before my face was melted.

lookin' good brotha

I can't decide between the Legator N9 Snowfall and the Ibanez RG9PB-TGF.

heck ya 🤣🤙🏻

What string gauges r u using for that tuning for that scale lenght?

ive had issues with wiring on my legator as well, on my n7fx... love it to death, but it seems like those dudes at leggy are lazy as hell with these QC issues

You dont need to reach the low strings that high up the fretboard anyways. Youll find the same notes on higher strings.IMO. nice guitar playing tho

This is my opinion aimed at the gear industry, not the player, and is intended to get people thinking about changes to the guitar. To the player: great technique, tone, and video. Low strings interfere with the kick and bass in the mix. Which means I want the strings to go higher, not lower, for more melodic content and less mud in the mix. Guitars need to get into the 6th and 7th octave to match an 88 key piano, not down into the 0 and 1 octave, which can be done simply by detuning and using thicker strings on a standard baritone guitar. I refuse to omit a bass player to make more room for an 8 string guitar player. Rather, I prefer to add 6 or more strings to the bass because I think a bass guitar's timbre is more pleasing on high strings than the tone of an extended range guitar's low strings. I'm thinking more Obscura and less Meshuggah. And I want my guitar to sound like a pitch wheel on a keyboard. So the whammy bar is required because those Randy Rhodes/Alexi Laiho/Slayer tricks are so cool and expressive. But, it's impossible to use floating bridges with a high A string with anything currently on the market. The high A string will break when pulled sharp unless it's a very short scale length. The Dean Rusty Cooley 8 string did have a high A but it was fixed bridge with a 23.5" high A and 25.5" low B. Adding a 9th string with a longer low string would make the fretboard slant even worse. So a multiscale Floyd Rose style bridge needs to be developed. The biggest disadvantage is due to the limitations of the human hand only so much can be done on extended range guitars. You can play any interval on a piano with two hands. On a guitar you are limited by how far your left hand can stretch. Yes you can tap with the right hand but this isn't the same as picking a higher string and each guitar string can only be sounded at one spot. A harpsichord is a better design than an extended range guitar for stringed instruments that can play large intervals simultaneously. Drone notes and tapping/sweeps are not enough to justify an extended range guitar. The lines have to weave in and out of each other in Bachian counterpoint style as *completely independent melodies in different registers.* This can only be done by tracking multiple guitars and basses. A Digitech Whammy pedal will shift everything up, but it is not as easy to use as having a high A string since the pedal has to be set and swept to a specific interval. It is difficult to do this motion quickly on a single note when playing 16ths at 200 bpm in a high register with notes that are large intervals apart. It's easier to just shift the Whammy up a certain interval to play a few beats or bars and then disengage the pedal after that section. And the pedal has that fake harmonized sound with strange auditory artifacts. This is too slow and does not sound as good as having more, higher strings that can be used with a whammy bar. You could extend the fretboard like Michael Angelo Batio did in the 80s, but a 6 done this way extends the scale length, increases string tension, makes vibrato more difficult, rules out a whammy bar, and makes the upper frets very small. You can play super high notes, but good luck getting to them. A longer neck with more frets also forces you to play horizontally across the neck instead of more efficiently across strings. So a longer neck with more frets is a better choice for alternate pickers than for sweepers. *Ultimately, I'm looking for the guitar to become an 88 key keyboard with a pitch wheel capable of going up and down octaves at a time. And adding on more strings isn't making that possible.* The extended range designs are also boring. They are largely dual humbucker Strats with fixed bridges. You won't see Explorers or BC Rich style shapes with these kind of designs unless they are custom ordered. Most current extended range guitars won't even have pickup rings so you can't put a Seymour Duncan Triple Shot on them for more wiring options. Duncan won't even make a Triple Shot for more than 6 strings. So you can't merge all the wiring mods of the traditional Strat world with extended range guitars yet unless you are handy with a drill press and installing a lot of switches. Lastly, you're not going to see a lot of nice accessories on these guitars like Graphtech Ghost systems. Too expensive, too hard to modify given current market demand. Imagine the power of using these kinds of guitars with MIDI samples, low latency, and fast tracking. So at the moment anything beyond 7 strings is not for me. I see them as a one trick pony novelty product aimed at a younger generation of players born after 2000 who grew up on djent and laptop metal and prefer that sound. They also make nice set pieces for Tosin Abasi to play 8 finger tapping and drone notes on at NAMM shows. I need more than that for what extended range luthiers are charging.

Why did you bury the tone with a backing track? ..

Bro you got way blonder since the Hogwarts days

Ok josh travis cousin uncle

Nice nice but you fkn sound like Joe Rogan at some degree lmao

Its ok......the 9 string is too much for most.....😂😂

Bro let’s hang out write some tunes

I bought a legator, it was terrible.
