NGD: Jericho Edge 8 NT

[bdmguy]

Didn't know much about the company, but I loved the specs and design. Took a little longer than expected to arrive, but Dave was very friendly to work with, and installed a Seymour Duncan Nazgul/Sentient combo at almost no upcharge.

What stood out to me about this instrument is the tone. I play all sorts of genres, and every note was very clear and crisp. The coil-tap is a nice touch, adding some great dynamics for cleans even with the pickup combo. The neck is very comfortable and quick. My only cons with the guitar were a few minor cosmetic flaws.

Overall, very stoked!

Damn, that's clean! Congrats!

Yeah, I've been watching these guys. If they had shown up on the scene earlier (or if they end up doing something unique) I'd have one. Right now I don't need another straight scale 8. But they are nice builds!

Dave's great to work with, and the two guitars I've played have been well-built. HNGD.

Sexy looking guitar, congrats!

 

[AkiraSpectrum]

looks wicked!

 

[Splinterhead]

Simple, clean and nice lines! Congrats!

Nice looking guitar... what were the minor flaws?

 

[gujukal]

Nice, looks like a Mayones and PRS fusion, sick!

^ curious to know too.

I've been checking out these guitars every now and then. How's the balance when playing standing up? Such a short upper horn hints that there could be some neck dive...

Edit: oh and HNGD Glad to see one of these here "in the wild" (if you can say so about an internet forum )

I see you got yourself The Gift of Jericho. Be sure to...

Seriously though, that looks like a mighty fine 8 string. I've had my eye on these guys for a couple of months now and everything they do looks solid and classy. Congrats.

A little bit of stain that bled onto the neck, a small gap between the end of the nut and the slot, and the pickups had some weird residue like it was cleaned with something it shouldn't have been cleaned with or something. No big issues though!

Truly awesome-looking guitars.. only the logo puts me off. It seems slightly at odds with the clean aesthetic.

Seems pretty balanced on me, might just be the satin finish just holding it up though

If you don't mind me asking, how much did they charge for the pickup install? I'm wanting to get the Royal Fusion 26.9 and have blue Black Winters installed.

I had a little residue on my Fusion 7 when I got it, just wiped off I clean and restring most new guitars anyway so I didn't even really pay attention to it.

Just $40 for labor!

how does the neck feel? i've been watching the fusion 7s, but a little scared to pull the trigger as i am not a fan of schecter-type necks at all. closer to a thin ibanez wizard or a thick baseball bat?

I wouldn't say it's Ibanez thin but still feels very thin and comfortable to me!

Happy new guitar day! I've had my Fusion 8 for over a year and I can't be any more happy with it
