ESP LTD Javier Reyes JR-608 Electric Guitar Faded Blue Sunburst
The JR-608 is a baritone 8-string instrument designed with input from Javier Reyes of Animals As Leaders, engineered to explore an expansive range of pitch across a single fretboard. The neck-through construction combined with a 27" scale length delivers responsive articulation and sustain, while the thin U neck contour accommodates both traditional and extended technique approaches. This is a purpose-built tool for progressive and experimental players who demand precision and tonal range.
Build & Construction
The 5-piece maple/walnut/padauk neck-through body provides structural integrity and tonal clarity, with swamp ash delivering articulate resonance and a quilted maple top adding visual character and harmonic response. Hardware includes a Hipshot bridge with string-thru-body setup for stable intonation and enhanced sustain across all eight strings, while LTD locking tuners ensure reliable pitch stability during complex playing techniques.
Playability & Electronics
The macassar ebony fingerboard with 24 extra jumbo frets and custom abalone offset block inlays supports both precision fretting and aggressive playing styles. Electronics center on a pair of Fishman Javier Reyes Open Core Humbuckers with a mini-toggle voice select switch for tonal flexibility, complemented by master volume and master tone controls and a 5-way blade pickup switch.
