Regius 8 on Periphery's new album recording!
Misha 'The Bulb' Mansoor from Periphery shared some of his talent to test our Regius 8 model, personally owned by Jan Hoeglund from Outerloop Management. As far as we know The Bulb plans to use this particular instrument to record some guitar parts of the new Periphery album.
I bet all you Djent lovers would like to know some more details about this amazing instrument. Jan's Regius 8 is based on series' regular wood selection: Swamp Ash body attached to 11-ply Maple-Mahogany-Wenge-Amazakoe  neck and Flamed Maple on the front plate. The guitar features Transparent Dirty Jeans Black top in matt finish. The satin lacquer was also used at the back of the body and neck.
The instrument sports Sperzel Trimlock tuners and ABM 8 string fixed bridge for highest tuning stability. A Bare Knuckle Aftermath pickups is one of Misha's favourite sets so no wonder you can find its 8 string version in this guitar as well.
But... no more words! Let the guitar speak for itself!
