Jackson SLATHXSD 3-8 Gloss Black

8-string electric guitar with Soloist body shape from X Series that features sophisticated ergonomic design, ultra-fast playability and, of course, monstrous tone. An arched body of the instrument is made of mahogany wood and features a gloss poly finish and neck-through-body construction. Dual graphite reinforcement rods run the length of the longer-scale three-piece maple neck with speed profile to fortify it against the extremes of nature, buttressing it against warping while a speedy 16”-radius rosewood fingerboard creates the ideal playing surface for fat riffs and easy chording near the graphite nut while gradually flattening in the upper registers for lightning-quick solos and wide bends without fear of fretting out. The fingerboard features 24 jumbo frets and pearloid piranha tooth inlays. Scale length is 673 mm, nut width is 53.85 mm. A pair of EMG 808 humbucking pickups generates versatile, huge and high output tones for brutal distortion and clear, crisp cleans. Sound can be control via Master Volume and Master Tone controls with black dome style knobs and 3-position toggle pickup switch. Other features include special Jackson HT8 8-String Hardtail bridge with strings-through-body design, Jackson-branded sealed die-cast tuning machines and NPS strings (.009-.046 + .052 + .065). Gloss Black colour design.
