The ESP JRV-8 is an 8-string guitar with a 27" baritone scale. This guitar offers bolt-on construction with an alder body, and a five-piece maple/walnut neck with a thin flat contour. Its maple fingerboard includes double-bar abalone inlays and 22 extra-jumbo frets. It’s also one of the latest production guitars to include an 8-string double-locking Floyd Rose tremolo. The sound of the JRV-8 is powered by a H/S/S pickup configuration featuring a Fishman Fluence 8 String Javier Reyes Classic Open Core bridge pickup, delivering three voices that are selectable with a mini-toggle switch. Voice 1 has a thick low end, low midrange growl plus aggressive upper mids; Voice 2 is a searing lead tone with organic treble and harmonics; Voice 3 offers clear, open single-coil tone. The middle and neck positions are each equipped with a Fishman Fluence Single Width 8, a pickup that offers everything from vintage sweetness to muscular overwound punch. Other pro features of the JRV-8 include LTD locking tuners and gold hardware. An ESP deluxe hardshell case is also included.
