Legator Guitars has been a frontrunner in the 9-string guitar world, as well as making a large range of different kinds of guitars at various price points. They are the kind of company that I would be worried about if I was, say, Ibanez or ESP guitars. They have been steadily working their way into the hands of artists like Matt Bachand and Jon Donais of Shadows Fall, Josh Travis of Glass Cloud, Reflections, Within the Ruins, Fallujah and more.
In the interest in stretching their lineup to cater to every wallet, they are now offering their Ninja 100 series, which will retail for $299 apiece.
