Multi-scale perfection
There's method in the madness. The multi-scale fretboard is a step above the rest – it redefines playability. With slanted, or 'fanned', frets, it naturally fits to the slant of your wrist to ensure maximum comfort when playing. It also adds extra definition to the tone of the low strings, whilst making the treble strings brighter and clearer. The result is unbelievable playability combined with a superbly tight sound. With this technology, you can master your guitar playing like never before on the SLATXF8.
Outstanding tone
Take your sound to new heights. With a duo of Jackson Blade pickups adorning this finely crafted instrument, you'll find it produces a superbly powerful, uncompromising sound. Specially designed for the extended range of this instrument, each string will sound super tight and clear, with a clean low end and plenty of midrange bite. Their high output helps both high gain and clean tones punch through the mix with force, giving you a superb sound.
The bridge pickup glows with crunch, helping to make both chord progressions and technical riffs roar. And the neck pickup is warm and smooth, injecting lead lines with sweet saturation and fullness for the perfect tone – make those solos wail like babies. Armed with these special pickups, you can conquer the studio and the stage with complete confidence.
Unbeatable playability
Take your abilities to new heights. The maple neck of the SLATXF8 is as smooth as it is deadly, facilitating lightning fast licks and unrivalled comfort. You'll be able to blaze through riffs with flair and style, whilst maintaining absolute control over your playing. The laurel fretboard boosts sustain and feels beautifully smooth underneath your fingertips – shred to your heart's content. This stunning guitar is ready to take you on a journey to floodlit stages.
