ESP LTD JR-608 Javier Reyes Guitar – Faded Blue Sunburst (B-Stock)
The ESP LTD JR-608 Javier Reyes is built for gigging and session players chasing extended range, articulate definition, and uncompromising build quality. 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 sustained tone and dead-reliable intonation under stage stress. A resonant swamp ash body topped with quilted maple cuts through live mixes with articulate attack and natural shimmer, while the Macassar ebony fingerboard features a custom inlay pattern and glow-in-the-dark side markers that keep you locked in position during dark venue sets.
The matched pair of Fishman Javier Reyes Open Core Signature humbuckers delivers range via a dedicated mini-toggle—dialed for everything from tight, controlled rhythm work to open, ambient textures. A Hipshot string-thru bridge, LTD locking tuners, and a Graphtech Black TUSQ nut ensure the kind of tuning stability and intonation hold that touring musicians depend on. Finished in Faded Blue Sunburst, this instrument commands the stage across modern metal, progressive rock, experimental soundscapes, and studio tracking.
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.
