Notes (quick reference)

27″ scale gives proper tension in low tunings and tighter low‑end — crucial for metal/djent performance.

EMG 808s were among the earliest mass‑production active pickups designed for 8‑string guitars.

Set‑neck mahogany construction gives more sustain and warmth than typical bolt‑on 8‑string designs.

Full Tune III bridge = solid tuning stability and easy string changes.

Tight, punchy djent chugs with clear low F, EMG 808s, 27″ baritone scale, set-neck mahogany. Perfect for heavy riffs.
