Product Ref: 56583
Over the past 30 years ESP Guitars have become one of the leading electric guitar and bass manufactures across the globe, specialising in metal and rock instruments. With artist such as James Hetfield, Kirk Hammett, Alexi Laiho, Richie Sambora, Tom Araya and many more ESP Guitars ensure every one of their guitars is a high performance and professional musical instrument.
Featuring a 27 inch scale length as appose to traditional 24.75, 25 and 25.5 inch scale lengths the H-408B FM provides baritone capabilities. Due to the longer scale length the H-408B can be tuned to a range of low tunings such as standard (F#,B,E,A,D,G,B,E) tuning or fourth tuning (F#,B,E,A,D,G,C,F) particularly favourable with heavy metal players requiring a low and deep tone.
The H-408B FM wields a dual set of active EMG 808 humbucking pickups which utilize alnico V loaded wide aperture coils to deliver a truly dynamic 8-string tonality. Eliminating the muddy and muffled low F# sound of prior 8 string guitar pickups the 808's produce a deep and defined low F# response whilst also providing tight, crisp and detailed overall response allowing them to be versatile enough for a huge range of playing styles.
Incorporating a fixed bridge with string-thru body construction the LTD H-408B FM provides improved tonality and sustain by transferring vibrations and resonance from the string to the body as it goes over the hardtail bridge and passes through the body.
