Jackson Guitars - Concept Series 8-String DK Modern MDK HT8 MS, Ebony Fingerboard - Satin Black

With premium features catering to highly-technical playing, multi-dimensional tone and ergonomic design, the brand-new Jackson® Limited Edition Concept Series Dinky® MDK HT8 MS provides the ultimate high-performance experience for today's modern players. By accommodating two scale lengths on one fingerboard (25.5"- 27.5"), you unlock more sonic possibilities while improving playing comfort, tension and intonation.

A stylishly contoured basswood body with a three-piece maple/wenge/maple neck, protecting it against environmental depredations, while the satin back finish gives that smooth-as-butter playing feel. The ultra-fast 12"-16" compound radius ebony fingerboard is built from the get-go for easy chording and riffing near the nut and rapid, fret-out-free leads as you move up the neck. Glow-in-the-dark Luminlay® side dots are also a game-changer for touring musicians, providing fretboard guidance even on the darkest of stages.

The Fishman® Fluence® Modern PRF-M39-CB1 humbucking pickup in the bridge position and Fishman Fluence Modern PRF-M39-AB1 humbucker in the neck position allows you to access brutal aggression and passive punch in the same guitar. Shape your tone with a three-position pickup blade switch, single volume control and single tone control with push/pull activation to switch between a crisp, searing Voice 1 and the high-output distortion of Voice 2. A high-quality Hipshot® fixed bridge delivers maximum sustain and tonality, and rock-solid tuning stability throughout the most aggressive playing styles.

Swathed in sinister Jackson style, the Jackson® Pro Plus Dinky® MDK HT8 MS comes in Satin Black with all-black hardware including Jackson® tuners and locking strap buttons, Graph Tech® TUSQ® XL nut, and color matched reverse Jackson AT-1 4x4 black headstock.
