What Makes the Legator N7FSS Ninja Super Shred Special?

The N7FSS Ninja Super Shred is designed from the outset as a modern seven-string rather than simply adding an extra string to a conventional guitar. Its 25.5"–26.5" multiscale layout provides a familiar response on the treble side while increasing tension towards the lowest string, helping extended-range riffs remain controlled, articulate and defined.

Legator then combines this foundation with an exceptionally performance-focused neck specification. A three-piece hard maple neck, compound-radius Richlite fingerboard, 24 oversized stainless-steel frets and carbon-fibre reinforcement create a stable and highly playable platform. Add active Aftershock humbuckers and a dedicated brass multiscale bridge and the N7FSS becomes a serious tool for technical players and modern heavy music.

25.5"–26.5" Multiscale Design

The N7FSS uses a 25.5"–26.5" multiscale, with each string receiving an individually optimised scale length.

The higher strings remain towards the familiar 25.5-inch end of the range, retaining a comfortable response for lead playing, bends and vibrato. Moving towards the lower strings, the scale progressively increases to 26.5 inches.

This longer bass-side scale increases tension and can produce a firmer, more controlled response from the seventh string, particularly when using lower tunings or heavier-gauge strings.

Why Multiscale Works for a Seven-String Guitar

Extended-range guitars ask significantly more from their lowest strings than a conventional six-string design. Very low notes require enough string tension to remain clear and controlled without forcing the higher strings to become unnecessarily stiff.

Multiscale construction addresses this by varying the scale length across the fingerboard.

The result is a more balanced feel between the strings, with improved low-register definition while maintaining comfortable treble-string playability. For progressive metal, djent and other rhythmically precise styles, this can make complex low-register passages feel noticeably tighter.

Lightweight Mahogany Body With Figured Maple Top

The N7FSS uses a lightweight 38mm-thick mahogany body, contributing to a comfortable and streamlined playing experience without losing the substantial tonal foundation associated with mahogany.

Depending on the selected finish, the body is paired with either a quilted maple top or selected figured top, creating a contemporary appearance that suits the Ninja's aggressive silhouette.

A satin finish complements the modern design and avoids the heavily coated feel of some traditional gloss guitars.

Ultra-Thin Three-Piece Hard Maple Neck

One of the N7FSS's defining features is its remarkably slim three-piece hard maple neck.

Legator specifies approximately:

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

This gives the guitar an exceptionally fast neck profile suited to rapid position shifts, wide stretches, tapping, legato, sweep picking and technical chord shapes.

The multi-piece construction also helps provide the stability required from a seven-string multiscale neck.

Carbon-Fibre Reinforced Neck

The neck construction incorporates carbon-fibre reinforcement alongside the adjustable truss rod.

Extended-range guitars place greater demands on neck stability because of their additional string and varying scale lengths. Reinforcement helps create a rigid and dependable foundation that can support accurate setup and consistent playability.

For players using low action or demanding alternate tunings, this is a valuable performance-oriented specification.

12"–16" Compound-Radius Richlite Fingerboard

The N7FSS features a Richlite composite fingerboard with a 12"–16" compound radius.

Lower down the neck, the more curved profile provides a comfortable surface for chord shapes and rhythm playing. As you move towards the upper frets, the fingerboard progressively flattens, creating more room for fast lead playing, bends and low-action setups.

Richlite provides a smooth, consistent playing surface and complements the modern engineering-led approach of the Ninja Super Shred.

24 Jumbo Stainless-Steel Frets

The N7FSS is fitted with 24 3mm jumbo stainless-steel frets.

The large fret profile allows the player to use a comparatively light touch, reducing the amount of fingerboard contact required when fretting notes. This can be particularly effective for fast legato, tapping, vibrato and technical lead techniques.

Stainless steel also offers excellent resistance to wear and provides an exceptionally smooth surface for bends.

Graph Tech Nut

A Graph Tech nut forms part of the N7FSS hardware specification.

Accurate nut construction is especially important on a multiscale extended-range guitar, where clean string seating and consistent spacing contribute to tuning stability, intonation and overall playing feel.

It is another detail that reinforces the N7FSS's performance-focused design.

Legator Active Aftershock Humbuckers

The N7FSS is equipped with two Legator Active Aftershock humbuckers.

These pickups are designed to deliver the output, attack and definition required for contemporary high-gain playing. The active system helps maintain clarity across the extended frequency range of a seven-string, particularly when playing tightly picked low-register riffs.

They are equally capable of producing articulate lead tones where precise note separation is important.

Simple, Performance-Focused Controls

Rather than overloading the guitar with controls, Legator uses a straightforward layout consisting of:

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

This provides immediate access to bridge, combined and neck pickup sounds while keeping the guitar easy to operate on stage or during recording.

Legator Brass Multiscale Bridge

The N7FSS features Legator's dedicated brass multiscale bridge.

Each string follows the appropriate angle for the guitar's changing scale lengths, while the solid fixed-bridge design prioritises tuning stability and direct string response.

Brass hardware also provides a substantial contact point between the strings and body, fitting naturally with the guitar's emphasis on precise attack and sustain.

Locking Tuners

Legator equips the N7FSS with locking tuning machines, simplifying string installation while providing secure string retention.

This is particularly useful on a seven-string instrument, where efficient string changes and dependable tuning become even more valuable.

Combined with the Graph Tech nut and fixed brass bridge, the locking tuners form part of a straightforward and stable hardware system.

Who Is It For?

The Legator N7FSS Ninja Super Shred is designed primarily for guitarists exploring modern extended-range music and advanced playing techniques.

It is particularly well suited to:

• Progressive metal
• Modern metal
• Djent
• Technical metal
• Metalcore
• Progressive rock
• Instrumental guitar
• Extended-range rhythm playing
• Low and alternative tunings
• Technical lead guitar
• Tapping and legato
• Sweep picking
• Home and professional recording
• Modern stage performance

It is also a logical progression for experienced six-string players looking to explore seven-string guitar without sacrificing comfortable treble-string playability.

Why Choose a 7-String Multiscale Electric Guitar?

A seven-string guitar retains the familiar six conventional guitar strings while adding an extended lower register. This opens up deeper rhythm sounds, additional chord voicings and a wider melodic range without removing the familiar vocabulary of a standard guitar.

Multiscale construction takes the concept further by giving lower strings more scale length and tension while allowing the treble strings to retain a more conventional feel.

For players working with high-gain amplification and low tunings, this can provide a more controlled response, clearer note separation and improved definition across complex riffs.

N7FSS Ninja vs G7FSS Ghost – Which Should You Choose?

The N7FSS Ninja and G7FSS Ghost share much of Legator's modern performance philosophy, including seven-string multiscale construction, stainless-steel frets and active electronics.

The most obvious difference is the fundamental design. The N7FSS uses a conventional headed Ninja body and locking tuning machines, while the G7FSS uses Legator's compact headless Ghost platform.

Choose the N7FSS if you prefer a more familiar full-size electric guitar layout combined with modern multiscale technology. Choose the G7FSS if compact headless ergonomics are a greater priority.
