The JRV-8 utilises three Fishman pickups, with the Fishman Fluence 8 String Javier Reyes Classic Open Core bridge pickup being the first. This pickup offers three different voices that can be selected using a mini-toggle switch. Voice 1 has a thick low-end, low midrange growl plus aggressive upper mids; Voice 2 is a searing lead tone with organic treble and harmonics; Voice 3 offers a clear, open single coil tone. The middle and neck pickups are Fishman Fluence Single Width 8. They are capable of producing a range of tones from vintage sweetness to punchy sounds, which makes them ideal for standing out in a dense mix.
The JRV-8 has bolt-on construction for outstanding stability and durability. Its body is made from alder and its neck from a five-piece maple/walnut combination. The neck is shaped to a thin flat contour, making it incredibly comfortable to play, while the fingerboard is crafted from maple and adorned with double-bar abalone inlays and 22 extra-jumbo frets.
Other professional features of the JRV-8 include LTD locking tuners and gold hardware. The guitar also comes with an ESP deluxe hardshell case, perfect for keeping your instrument safe from knocks and scrapes.
