Quick Product Summary

The Legator N6FSS Ninja Super Shred 6-String Multiscale in Hyper Nova Blue is a high-performance electric guitar designed for players who want the benefits of multiscale construction without moving into seven or eight-string territory. Its 25.5"–26.5" multiscale layout combines familiar treble-string playability with increased tension and definition on the lower strings, making it particularly effective for modern metal, progressive styles and lower tunings.

A lightweight mahogany body with quilted maple top, ultra-thin three-piece maple neck and 12"–16" compound-radius Richlite fingerboard create a fast, precise playing platform. Legator's active Aftershock humbuckers, jumbo stainless-steel frets, locking tuners and brass multiscale bridge complete a guitar purpose-built for speed, articulation and contemporary high-gain performance.

What Makes the Legator N6FSS Ninja Super Shred Special?

The N6FSS gives six-string players access to Legator's performance-focused multiscale design without requiring an extended-range instrument. Its 25.5"–26.5" scale provides additional length and tension on the lower strings while keeping the treble side closer to the familiar feel of a conventional electric guitar. This helps low notes remain controlled and articulate without making bends and lead playing unnecessarily stiff.

Legator complements the multiscale layout with an exceptionally slim neck, compound-radius Richlite fingerboard and oversized stainless-steel frets. Combined with active Aftershock humbuckers and a solid brass bridge, the result is a guitar designed for players who prioritise precision, speed and clarity under high gain.

25.5"–26.5" Multiscale Design

Rather than using one identical scale length across all six strings, the N6FSS gradually changes the scale from 25.5 inches on the treble side to 26.5 inches on the bass side.

The longer lower-string scale provides additional tension and can help notes feel tighter and more defined, particularly when playing aggressively or using lowered tunings.

The shorter treble side retains a more conventional response for bends, vibrato and lead playing, giving the N6FSS a balanced feel across the complete fingerboard.

Why Choose Multiscale on a 6-String?

Multiscale construction is often associated with seven and eight-string guitars, but it can be equally useful on a six-string.

Players using drop tunings regularly face a compromise between maintaining enough tension on the lowest strings and keeping the higher strings comfortable. The N6FSS addresses this by increasing the scale length progressively towards the bass side.

For technical rhythm guitar, modern metal and progressive styles, this can provide a firmer low-string response and improved note separation without giving up familiar six-string tuning and chord shapes.

Lightweight Mahogany Body With Quilted Maple Top

The N6FSS features a 38mm-thick lightweight mahogany body topped with quilted maple.

Mahogany provides a strong tonal foundation with plenty of midrange body, while the figured maple top gives the Hyper Nova Blue finish additional visual depth.

The relatively thin body contributes to the guitar's streamlined feel, making it well suited to longer practice sessions, rehearsals and live performances.

Hyper Nova Blue Finish

The Hyper Nova Blue finish gives the Ninja's aggressive double-cutaway shape a striking contemporary appearance.

The blue colouring highlights the figuring of the quilted maple top while retaining the modern aesthetic associated with Legator's Super Shred range.

A satin finish complements the guitar's performance-focused design and avoids the heavier feel associated with some traditional gloss finishes.

Ultra-Thin Three-Piece Maple Neck

The bolt-on neck uses a three-piece maple construction and an exceptionally slim modern profile.

Legator specifies approximately:

• 17.5mm thickness at the 1st fret
• 18.5mm thickness at the 12th fret

This ultra-thin profile is designed for fast position changes, wide stretches and modern lead techniques such as tapping, legato and sweep picking.

Carbon-fibre reinforcement adds further stability to the neck construction.

12"–16" Compound-Radius Richlite Fingerboard

The N6FSS uses a Richlite composite fingerboard with a 12"–16" compound radius.

The fingerboard is more curved towards the lower frets for comfortable chord and rhythm playing, gradually flattening as you move towards the upper register.

This flatter upper section provides an excellent platform for faster lead playing, wide bends and lower-action setups.

24 Jumbo Stainless-Steel Frets

The N6FSS is equipped with 24 3mm jumbo stainless-steel frets, providing two full octaves of fretted range on every string.

The jumbo profile allows notes to be fretted with relatively little fingerboard contact, which can make rapid lead techniques feel particularly effortless.

Stainless steel also provides excellent resistance to fret wear while offering a smooth surface for bends and vibrato.

Legator Active Aftershock Humbuckers

A pair of Legator Active Aftershock humbuckers provides the N6FSS with the powerful, controlled response required for modern high-gain playing.

These pickups are designed to retain articulation when using substantial levels of distortion, helping palm-muted riffs, complex chords and rapid picking remain clearly defined.

Their high-output response also makes the N6FSS particularly well suited to progressive metal, modern rock and other styles where attack and note separation are critical.

Straightforward Control Layout

The electronics are deliberately simple and performance focused.

Controls consist of:

• Master volume
• Master tone
• 3-way blade pickup selector

This gives quick access to bridge, combined and neck pickup sounds without adding unnecessary complexity.

Legator Brass Multiscale Bridge

The N6FSS uses Legator's dedicated brass multiscale fixed bridge.

Each string is positioned according to the guitar's changing scale lengths, allowing accurate intonation across the fanned-fret layout.

The fixed construction prioritises stability, direct string response and straightforward setup, making it particularly appropriate for lower tunings and precise rhythm playing.

Locking Tuners

Legator locking tuners are fitted as standard.

Locking tuners secure the string directly at the tuning machine, simplifying string changes and reducing the amount of string winding required around each post.

Together with the Graph Tech nut and fixed brass bridge, they form part of a dependable hardware setup designed around tuning stability.

Who Is It For?

The Legator N6FSS is ideal for six-string guitarists who want modern ergonomics and multiscale performance without moving to an extended-range instrument.

It is particularly suited to:

• Modern metal
• Progressive metal
• Djent
• Metalcore
• Technical metal
• Progressive rock
• Instrumental guitar
• Drop and alternate tunings
• Technical rhythm playing
• Fast lead guitar
• Tapping and legato
• Sweep picking
• Studio recording
• Live performance

It can also be an excellent introduction to multiscale guitar for players already comfortable with a conventional six-string.

Why Choose a Modern Multiscale Electric Guitar?

A multiscale electric guitar uses different scale lengths across the strings to balance tension more effectively.

On the N6FSS, the longer bass-side scale helps the lowest strings remain firmer and more controlled, while the shorter treble side preserves a familiar response for lead work.

For players using lower tunings or highly precise rhythm techniques, this can provide improved definition without requiring the longer uniform scale normally associated with baritone instruments.

The six-string layout also means existing chord shapes, scales and playing techniques remain immediately familiar.

N6FSS vs N6SS – Which Should You Choose?

The N6SS uses a conventional 25.5-inch scale and straight fret layout, making it the more traditional member of the Ninja Super Shred family.

The N6FSS adds a 25.5"–26.5" multiscale design, increasing tension towards the lower strings. This makes it particularly attractive for players using drop tunings or anyone looking for the more balanced string response offered by a multiscale guitar.

Choose the N6SS for a familiar standard-scale experience or the N6FSS if multiscale tension and lower-register control are priorities.
