General
If you feel that six strings are not enough, you can go for one of our seven-string guitars. If you're still not satisfied... then there's the Jackson USA Select B8MG, for example. This impressive eight-string guitar is amongst the most desirable, high-grade instruments that Jackson have ever made. It has a powerful Satin Black finish and the top features a matte polyester lacquer. The neck is made of quartersawn, very strong maple and has been bolted onto the body. The fretboard is made of ebony to add that snappy feel to the sound and to make note bending easier to do.
Jackson USA Select B8MG
The components of this high-quality instrument have been fully adjusted to work perfectly with the eight strings. For instance, it features a string-through-body Jackson HT8 8-String bridge. The guitar is also equipped with two EMG 808 humbucker pickups. They make sure that everything you play, from the lowest notes to the highest solo parts, gets picked up and is sent towards the amplifier within a very wide dynamic range. They provide harmonically rich sound with a fresh punch without lingering or sounding sluggish. By means of the volume and tone control and the pickup switch you can fully adjust the sound to your liking. The Gotoh tuners will keep the B8MG perfectly tuned. The B8MG has been made with great care and opens doors towards undiscovered guitar parts.
Jackson Guitars
The renowned American brand Jackson Guitars was founded in 1980 by Grover Jackson and rose to fame with its customised V-guitar for Randy Rhoads. Today, many famous guitarists play a Jackson. Jackson guitars have an elegant design, a sharp headstock, shark fin position markers and a powerful sound which is perfect for metal and hard rock. The USA Series is a hand-made, first-grade series that is worth every penny.
