Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
The PT-8 MS Black Ops is an eight-string electric guitar with a 25.5–27-inch multiscale design, a 3-piece mahogany neck, and an ebony board with a 20-inch radius. One Fishman Fluence Open Core Modern bridge pickup handles the sound selection: the three-way voicing switch moves between active, passive, and single-coil settings. Carbon-fiber neck reinforcement, locking tuners, a Graph Tech TUSQ nut, and a multiscale Hipshot fixed bridge make this a focused extended-range setup with one volume control.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Eight-string players who want active, passive, and single-coil pickup modes from one bridge-position pickup.
- Players using wide bends on a 20-inch-radius fingerboard with extra-jumbo stainless-steel frets.
Consider the trade-offs
When to look elsewhere
- Players seeking multiple physical pickups or more than one control knob.
