this is probably the best looking 8s i've ever seen (imo)

I'd like to echo that sentiment.

 

[Kamikaze7]

This would convert me to a Jackson guy...

 

[Beardyman]

Oh, wow

 

[AcousticMinja]

Damn. I agree with the above 3 statements.
That is sexy.

 

[leonardo7]

25.5" scale length?

 

[Stealthdjentstic]

Its ok, pretty boring looking.

 

[djpharoah]

25.5" scale length?

Looks like 27" as my baritone has the same case (very circumstantial evidence )

I'm with Stealth. It's another superstrat with actives and no inlays. It's maybe a little more carved in the body than most, and at least it's not black, but I don't see anything worth writing home about.

 

[DC23]

Damn that's nice.

 

[leonardo7]

Could be. Looks like 25.5" though. The other one was listed as having 28.8" scale but actually is only 26"

 

[AntiTankDog]

At least they got sensible and ditched the hockey stick headstock.

I won't touch an 8 under 28" though...

 

[eurolove]

damnit! i wanted the: inb4 25.5 scale makes guitar obsolete. anyway, for some reason that headstock makes it look like thinner guitar, much less chunky looking than most 8s, very elegant.

 

[MaxOfMetal]

I'd take this over 90% of the 8s I see come through the forum based on quality alone. While it may not be too flashy, Jackson USA CS is always worth it.

It's like saying a black Lamborghini Murcielago is nothing worth writing home about. It's a Jackson CS and it'll definitely pimp slap the shit out of the majority of 8s publicly available.

Yeah, it's just not to my taste though. Needs a booty-full top

Wow... I didn't even read the specs in the OP

Jackson seems to be amping up to have a sick NAMM show this year! I want to fucking go man.

 

[troyguitar]

Fuck 2.25" nut width that is HUGE

 

[MaxOfMetal]

Fuck 2.25" nut width that is HUGE

It's only ~3mm wider than the RG2228, and exactly the same as what most Agile 8s are.
