THIS IS A STINKIN EPIC GUITAR
I've been getting into heavy metal so I figured I may as well try an 8 string. I haven't regretted my decision! This is an amazing guitar at an affordable price. Sweetwater, you've done it again!!
The PERFECT economy 8-string!
Okay, so I've been looking to add some low-register guitar parts to some song ideas for a while, and I was honestly just headed towards a descent 7-string. But, as I also pondered the thought of going even lower, I looked into some 8-strings.
Since this was only going to be a 'stunt' guitar for recording and some riff-building, I didn't want to invest too much money into something that would not be played that much. Obviously price-wise, compared to mainline 8-strings (and even the 7-strings!), this guitar is inexpensive. But, honestly, the quality seriously outweighs the price!
For starters, the matte finish looks BEAUTIFUL. The bridge is super comfortable to rest your playing hand (since there will be muting afoot, of course), and the pickups sound KILLER. Dialing in a super thick/low distorted tone is quick and easy - super clarity even in those distorted depths.
And lastly, I don't know if it's just Sweetwater's inspection and set-up tweak or not, but this thing arrived playing like BUTTER right out of the box. I love low/comfortable action, and I didn't have to do a THING to get that on this guitar.
Simply put, if you're looking to slowly ease into the 7/8-string music pool without spending a chunk o' cash, this guitar is for you. Also (I just remembered), even on the clean tones it sounds phenomenal - adding in the low strings makes it sound like a friggin' piano!
I've been playing professionally for over 35 years, I have a boatload of guitars (expensive and inexpensive), and this one is a very welcome new member to the family!
good guitar
I just received this guitar a few hours ago. I owned a 7 string for a short while long ago. I have played guitar 30 years now. This is a well built guitar and if you are looking into trying a 7 or 8 string this is a good buy. To be honest it's a completely different instrument then what I've played. 8 strings are definitely a turn in the road. I have no clue how to play this guitar yet but I know instead of tuning down to play a song I will try this first. I may not succeed but I will try. For the price it is definitely a great deal.
great buy
For the cheapest quality company 8 string I could find Jackson did a great job. I saw a review saying the pickups were weak and I admit they don't have the output as some pickups that cost close to half of what this entire guitar costs they are quite decent factory pickups. I made this video simply so people can see these pickups can get you squeals and harmonic pinches on the E and B string which is a little impressive for any pickup. I'm playing through a Laney 120-watt ironheart head with a metal zone pedal in the video. 8 strings are wild and fun after awhile as well.
Nice guitar. But...
The feel and looks of the guitar is nice.
But the pickups are sort of weak and dull. Definitely would recommend swapping them for better pickups
