Full view of the 8-string Harley Benton MultiScale-8 QEB electric guitar

The Harley Benton MultiScale-8 QEB brings multiscale design - once a niche luxury - within reach, challenging the notion that eight-string guitars have to command premium prices. Its fanned frets (which combine a 25.5"-27.9" scale) and bolt-on okoume/nato neck deliver the ergonomic benefits favoured by many modern Metal and Progressive players. The satin-finished neck profile ensures comfortable access to all 24 frets, making complex chord voicings and wide-interval stretches more manageable, while the quilted maple top in its Emerald Burst finish ensures that the guitar will instantly grab the audience's attention on stage. All in all, this model thus offers excellent value for guitarists wishing to venture beyond six strings.

...but will it djent?

Tailored for genres like Deathcore and Djent, the HBZ Custom Wound Ferrite Hi-Gain humbuckers deliver articulate high-gain tones without muddiness. The extended 27.9" bass scale maintains taut tension for ultra-low tunings (enough to illicit a few jealous glances from the bassist), while the 25.5" treble scale preserves familiar playability for leads. Players also benefit from consistent tonal clarity across all of the strings - a hallmark of true multiscale design - where the low strings retain definition and the high strings avoid excessive stiffness. Combined with through-body stringing for enhanced sustain, this guitar practically compels modern Metal experimentation.

Bridging the multiscale gap

While not a beginner's instrument, the Harley Benton MultiScale-8 QEB provides an ideal transitional platform for six-string players exploring instruments with an extended range. Designed for low tunings and expressive articulation, this instrument bridges the gap between familiarity and innovation. The poplar body delivers a balanced tonal character, while the okoume/nato neck adds warmth and stability. A 16" fingerboard radius accommodates both chugging rhythms and technical lead playing, with jumbo frets ensuring precise intonation right across the fanned-fret fingerboard.

Beyond the Djent stereotype

Though optimised for modern Metal, the Harley Benton MultiScale-8 QEB offers an impressive tonal palette. The passive HBZ pickups clean up beautifully when the volume is rolled off, delivering crystalline tones suitable for Jazz or ambient styles. An ergonomic cutaway grants unfettered access to all 24 frets, while the black hardware and matching headstock project professional aesthetics. For recording, the guitar's neutral acoustic resonance provides an excellent foundation for both amp modelling and studio processing. This instrument shatters the myth that extended-range guitars are a one-trick pony - they can be as musically flexible as the player's imagination.
