For those of you who want to venture into the zone of 8-strings, the LTD SC-208 is a new standard-scale 8-string model from Deftones’ Stephen Carpenter.

This better not mean 25.5". I'll kick them square in the genitalia.

 

[JamesM]

I have a feeling that is exactly what that means.

 

[JacobShredder]

Gah! I love ESP/ltd necks, they're so comfy. I just wish they had passive pickups and the cockstock

 

[Chri]

That white EC

 

[lookralphsbak]

Ewww the new James Hetfield sig is ffffuuuuugly. Let's hope he sticks to the ESP Explorer... Also, not surprised there's no EC/Eclipse 7

 

[tseamsd]

im pretty stoked on that sc-208


and the white ec

 

[vhmetalx]

Eff me why does it so happen that I can't play 7's when esp throws two DELICIOUS ones at me.
Eff the world.

 

[JamesM]

Why can't you play 7s?

 

[Van]

Those ltd 7's look sweeet
too bad they're only ltd's

 

[JamesM]

^The 1000 series is very solid.

 

[rcsierra13]

^ seconded the LTD 1000s are awesome, I have a MH1000 FR and it kicks ass.

I like the look of the H1007's but I don't understand why they are keeping with that headstock, I don'think I know anyone who prefers it over the cockstock?

 

[ittoa666]

yes please

Despite it being a bit much, I'd still buy it.

SLAYER!

I wonder if they'll have the Max Cavalera ltd in urban camo?

Also, hose devildriver sigs are pretty cool.

 

[JamesM]

^I don't even enjoy Slayer, I just think it is badass!

 

[cronux]

out of all the models only this one works 4 me:

still don't get it why there's no new 7/8 string explorers or v's... a 7 string exp camo would be so much WIN... i think there's a mockup somewhere on this forum -> 8 string explorer and it's x1235135

You can always order that guitar exactly from Ran guitars.

 

[cronux]

@ ittoa666 - yeah, i know...but that's not the point

 

[Shaunheiser]

The sc-208 could be my first 8 string, how many people even tune down an 8 to warrant baritone scale? I can only think of meshuggah, and even then a half step down doesn't require a baritone scale length.

I know. A seven EX would be amazing.

It's strange that they didn't put a tremolo on a Slayer guitar when you hear the strong abuse that Jeff and Kerry do. It must a be a serious deal breaker for the fans.

One new 7 string model and it resembles a Schecter quite a bit? No thanks ESP, knock on my door if you EVER decide to release the EX series or EC series in a production 7...
