The Jackson Concept Series Limited-edition DK Modern MDK HT8 MS is built for high-speed, down-tuned playing by virtue of its multi-scale 25.5-inch to 27.5-inch scale length. And it sounds explosive. Even before you plug it in, this 8-string electric guitar’s basswood body radiates warm, growling tones with defined mids that can cut through a busy mix of rapid-fire drums and throbbing bass. And when you do plug it in, multi-voiced Fishman Fluence Modern humbuckers churn out a myriad of hard-hitting tones. This Dinky’s hyper-ergonomic design is top-shelf all the way ? its graphite-reinforced, satin-finished neck and compound-radius ebony fingerboard are guaranteed to unleash the full potential of your playing. You’ll also benefit from rock-solid intonation, reliable tuning stability, and easy string changes via this guitar’s Hipshot 8 fixed bridge and Jackson locking tuners. Complete with aggressive-looking black hardware, the Jackson Concept Series Limited-edition DK Modern MDK HT8 MS is a high-performance instrument that contemporary guitarists are sure to appreciate.

Fast-playing 3-piece neck and compound-radius fingerboard





Jackson crafted the Concept Series Limited-edition DK Modern MDK HT8 MS to be a high-performance 8-string electric with maximum clarity, sustain, and sonic power. Its graphite-reinforced, bolt-on 3-piece maple/wenge/maple neck features a hand-rubbed satin finish for maximum low-drag comfort, while its fast-playing ebony compound-radius fingerboard is the ideal platform for heavy riffing and high-speed soloing. Down low, your fretting hand will value the 12-inch radius that keeps things nice and comfortable for natural, relaxed chord work. Up top, a 16-inch radius lays it all out flat for effortless, low-action, lightning-fast runs and wide string bends without fretting out.





Multi-voice Fishman Fluence Modern active humbuckers





The Jackson Concept Series Limited-edition DK Modern MDK HT8 MS comes loaded with multi-voice Fishman Fluence Modern humbuckers. These revolutionary active pickups yield two unique selectable voices: a modern active humbucker and a unique wide-range humbucking tone. And unlike most wire-wound pickups, the Fluences deliver these classic tones without noise or inductance issues. With this Dinky’s 3-way blade in pickup positions one (full bridge) or three (full neck), you can use the tone control’s push-pull pot to switch between voices one and two. A number of guitarists here at Sweetwater swear by Fishman Fluence pickups ? get your hands on the Concept Series Limited-edition DK Modern MDK HT8 MS, and you’ll become a convert too.





Multi-scale neck tailor-made for high-speed, down-tuned playing





Multi-scale necks are tailor-made for down-tuned and technical playing. Their scale length is longer on the bass side of the instrument and shorter on the treble side, yielding better intonation, consistent tension, and equal attack between strings. Many guitarists here at Sweetwater have made the transition to multi-scale guitars. If you’re into thunderous low-end chug and high-speed soloing, you owe it to yourself to test drive one of these high-performance instruments.
