Anyone here ever play a multi scale? I've been playing 20ish years without. Is the intonation better? How long does it take to get a feel for it? Once I have a lick down I can play quite a bit without looking at the neck. I imagine that this transition could be difficult in regards to feel.

I don't think there's much benefit to a multiscale on a 6 string unless you are tuning down. The low E string on this one is a 26.5" scale so it's definitely suited for drop tunings while the high E is a standard 25.5" so it will feel familiar. I have a multiscale 7 string and it doesn't take too much getting used to. This guitar also has a Nazgul pickup in the bridge which I think can be kind of harsh sounding unless you're tuning down where the extra bite helps it cut through. IMO, this guitar is nice for drop tunings, but if you're looking to play it in standard E it's less appealing. Just my $.02. It's a nice guitar for sure though.
