  • NAMM 2011 Jackson Pics - The First Ever Jackson 8 String Guitar

    This is a killer. It is Jackson's first ever 8 String Guitar. It is built by Master Builder Pablo Santana. Here he is with his monster of a creation. Hand built baby!!! It has alder body with a quarter sawn maple center blank. It also has a new design feature that Pablo came up with called the Jackson Asymetrical Neck/ Offset Trussrod. Basically the neck profile is fatter near the lower strings and gradually tapers as it gets to the high E string. The Trussrod is also offset and runs through the thicker portion of the neck. It is awesome. This is going for $4200. It is a piece of Jackson History....the very first Jackson 8 String Guitar.

    That thing looks pretty killer! That longer pointy headstock looks sick. If you ask me it's about time Jackson upped their game; other builders like ESP have been doing this shit for years. I believe the asymmetrical neck profile was first featured on a matte black War Kelly at last year's NAMM. Still looking for some decent pics of that one.
    It's all about the blues-rock chatter.

          It is pretty killer. The bridge is a Hipshot 8 String Bridge.

              Now THAT 8 string headstock is spot on Tis exactly how it should be on the 8 string Warrior.
