ESP LTD JR-608 Javier Reyes Guitar – Faded Blue Sunburst (B-Stock)
The ESP LTD JR-608 Javier Reyes delivers extended-range recording and production capability for home studios and professionals tracking modern progressive material. Co-designed by Animals As Leaders guitarist Javier Reyes, this 8-string baritone combines a 27" scale with a neck-thru 5-piece walnut/maple/padauk design for maximum sustain and rock-solid intonation across multi-take sessions. A resonant swamp ash body topped with quilted maple captures articulate attack and shimmering highs in the mix, while the sleek Macassar ebony fingerboard features a custom inlay pattern and glow-in-the-dark side markers for confident fretwork during overdubs and live-room recordings.
The matched set of Fishman Javier Reyes Open Core Signature humbuckers offers multiple voices via a dedicated mini-toggle—ranging from tight djent rhythm tones to open, expressive clean textures that sit naturally in dense mixes. A Hipshot string-thru bridge, LTD locking tuners, and a Graphtech Black TUSQ nut ensure fast tuning stability between takes and consistent tracking. Finished in Faded Blue Sunburst, this instrument excels in low-tuned metal production, progressive rock arrangements, ambient soundscapes, and demanding studio sessions.
B-Stock Notice: This is a B-Stock unit that is fully inspected and tested. It may have minor cosmetic blemishes that do not affect playability or tone. Includes the MYSTIQUE 8-String form-fit case.
