General
The Jackson USA Select B8 (Satin Gray) is an attractive eight-string guitar that belongs to Jackson's top-range instruments. This extra long baritone-model electric guitar is perfect for professionals seeking reliability and great sound. For instance, the extremely strong quartersawn neck, with graphite reinforcements and a scarf joint, provides great stability. Moreover, the die-cast bridge is responsible for a highly stable tone.
Perfect sound transfer
Naturally, it's very important that the sound of your eight-string metal beast arrives at your amplifier gloriously. Fortunately, the alder of the body provides great resonance while the high-quality strings-through-body bridge takes care of an extra direct sound transfer. The sound ends up at the well-known D Activators that are capable of producing the tight, powerful character of active pickups by means of passive techniques, together with a great amount of headroom and a rich sound.
