The holy grail of 8 strings. Based on everything you have said about this guitar, the attention to detail and flawless craftsmanship to be expected from the Japan custom shop makes it worth it!
Its £4500! I don't care if it was built on the moon, the price is ridiculous. Ibanez prices are getting absurd. This is a pretty simple guitar to make, it ain't a hand carved master craftsman built hand carved archtop, it's a simple hard tail neck thru strat basically. Is it made of myrhh that was sourced from jesus's cradle? I sold a 1990 UV77Mc, the swirly one on steve vais album cover for £6000 a few months ago. That was a special guitar. This is not and its not 34 years old like mine was. Reply
What a monster. That scale length is THE secret to that Meshuggah sound in my opinion. Well that and the Lundgren too. Incredible writing here too Jon, that opening song could have been straight from Immutable.
YOLO, Jon! I can empathize, man. A dream acquisition of mine is an Alexi ESP custom shop down the line. If I have $5k to spend I would absolutely have zero regrets... These instruments pay us back in their own therapeutic ways and can last a lifetime. I'm proud of you, dude. A major achievement and insane purchase well deserved. Btw, that Prometheus track was 🔥🔥🔥. Cheers, friend.
Congrats on the new axe! Tried out both of them recently. M80 is dope for 1.7 grand, quite versatile, but I haven't noticed the 4.5 grand difference between the guitars. Of course, neck-through have a bit more comfortable neck joint, but honestly, not worth overpay at all.
Yes! I've been eagerly waiting for this video ever since your unboxing video. Great video! I would totally love to see the three Meshuggah guitars in a sound comparison. Please post that when you get a chance. Congrats on this beautiful guitar. You totally deserve it and you definitely have earned it.
Stoked for you, man. I had the FTM33, think that’s name of it, the Thordendal one. But I sold it to buy my Singularity 8 from Strandberg, which is essentially everything I’d want in a Meshuggah style guitar but headless and with TT. But I know you like your headstocks. Haha Regardless, so happy for ya, duder. And from one Meshuggah fanboy to another, I’m happy to actually hear what the real deal M8M sounds like, and it’s finally yours.
I own both the 1st gen and 2nd gen M80M and bought a M8M in June. M8M is pretty much similiar to a japanese ESP in craftsmanship but the 2nd gen M80M comes preety close in terms of sound. The 1st gen M80M has some distinctive upper snarl to it almost Vildhjarthaesque. M8M is just premium in looks and feels, but not very different when it comes to sound.
Dude, just came across your channel for the first time. You are legit a waaay better riffer than 95% of the so called "djent" bands I've heard. I really don't like any of them (except the mighty Meshuggah, of course) but you absolutely crushed it. Great talent and great video.
This is the stuff we always miss. Your positivity of getting a dream, radiates through the screen. This is the stuff I know most people want to see, is you can't hide that excitement.
Makes no sense. Same bridge. Same pickup. Same body with no contoured carvings. Should be $3K-$4K. One could buy the Indo version for $1600 and get a Quad Cortex, digital amp, floor board, and nice 4x12 cab for less than the Custom Shop version. For six grand you could buy a custom Skervesen...
Yeah. doesn't look like a 6k guitar either. if you showed me this, and told me it cost 600 dollars, i'd have believed you. No different from a Cort or whatever...
This is now the only guitar youtube channel where we can properly see and listen this rarest guitar. Congratulations And a few follow-up questions: What gauge strings are installed? 8:09 How low action height on the 12th fret at the moment? How were you able to tell the difference in sound between pickups of the same model on different guitars? I've seen some very old ads for M8s or guitars with M8s installed and they were also with paper bobbins without logo. Perhaps these are just earlier versions of pickups, it"s not a fact that they differ in sound. Previously, the logo was a little different and recently it has switched to black wire instead of gray, Lundgren is making some changes that are more cosmetic in nature IMHO
I don't know why it sounds different, could be the guitar itself too but there definitely is a pretty significant difference imho. I'm using Elixir strings. 70, 52 and a set of 9s.
that must be like... mind-shattering to actually own this thing, and it's always been my dream guitar too, but... does it really feel "superior" to all of your guitars? it sure delivers its unique and truly brilliant sound, probably that's the actual "x-factor" of this guitar and its price, but what about any other aspects like feel, build quality or anything else? anyway, congrats! that's truly beautiful!
I like it a lot, but I still think it's too expensive. It's good they make the 3 times cheaper M80M which sounds close enough. The 29 inch scale and pickup location is the only way to get that sound.
good for you my friend!!!!!! i hope you play it for a looooooong time in good health. youre right you only live once. i recently bought some gear including a pair of distressors, that ive had in my mind for a long time. it was sooooo worth it!!!!!!!! now i gotta learn how to use it all lol. the guitar sounds great man!! this is the first video ive ever seen of yours, im subscribing.
That would sound even better with the Titanum12 Phantom Power installed! Get rid of the clanging baritone strings and muddiness, boost where you need it and reduced noise - turn the noise gate right down or even off! Looks like you plenty of space to fit it in this one and it’s super easy to install.
Great video. Both versions of the Lundgren pickup are made at the same place here in Sweden. Many of the M8M Meshuggah plays themselves are the Sugi version (well, Fredrik mainly plays his FTM33 these days).
As someone that owns both, get the M80M if you want value for money and bang for your buck because at the end of the day both guitars have nickel jumbo frets, same bridge, same scale length, same pickups so they feel and sound the same and the extra 4.5k is just on the wood types which don't really affect the sound.
Very nicely done, thanks. You are right- the through neck makes a decided difference in the stiffness and subsequent gain of vibrational energy and information from the strings. As an instrumentmaker myself, I'd also add that the lightly curved fingerboard makes it easier to play, compared to the flat one of the Indonesian model. Subscribed. Cheers from cloudy Vienna, Scott
I remember getting my hands on one of these at musikmesse frankfurt when it still was a prototype. it was and is in the top ten, if not top five guitars I ever tried
Here's a YT video with an other-worldly looking, very old-school 8-string like you've probably never seen or imagined before. It will be worth it just having a look, and the sound is amazing as well: "Raag Bhairav | Madhuvanti Pal | Rudra Veena"
It must be a real heawyweight workhorse with those shiny frets. That's where the classic clean sound goes heavy metal instead of carving the radius of the comfort zone, I guess. Namastè.

Do you have any music out? Your 8 string riffs always hit insanely hard.
hmmmmmmmm yummy 8 string chugs yum yum. Crazy good tones man! Fractal just added the Meshuggah preamp pedal TC Electronics Integrated Preamp in the Axe Fx 3, you should do a video with this guitar!
Finally high end gear on both sides the amps and the guitar, to be honest I'm tired of seeing youtubers playing 90% of the time cheap guitars on boutique amps that costs 3k, 4k or above, I mean come on! where is the logic on that, most people that own a 120, 250 or 500 guitars don't use that gear (I know there are excepcions), and also I get it, the need to try to apeal a mayor audience but come on high end gear people we need cool and well done demos like this, excelent job by the way and what a great Axe you have there, cheers!
I discovered Meshuggah in 1995. I finally got MYSELF an Ibanez RG Series 8 String and now my 3 6 string guitars get ignored LOL I just looked up that guitar at my local music store.....$9000. That's insane.
@dilbophagginz of course you don't HAVE to. But you can if you want to and that's totally fine. As long as the guitar is really good I don't see a problem at all. There are plenty more affordable options out there that are also great. That doesn't inherently make expensive guitars "bad"
@@SonicDriveStudio I'd like to see how it compares to Buster Odeholm's Hapas Ashen 628, same scale length and similar features (altough it's 6 string), but the Hapas is around $3,500 USD I believe.
Whilst im not interested in buying this guitar- if ever i was gonna buy an 8 string it’s gonna be Solar or Schecter or a different Ibanez. Tell me why id want an 8 string over the traditional 6 string. Genuine question. Do you still play bar chords etc ? Cheers from NZ 😎🎸🤘
All the notes on the a string sound musically restrained. It’s on all rhe strings but immediately there is a difference there. What I mean by this is imagine the note you hit forming a wave and the more up or down it goes the more it goes to another note under those heavy chugs a lot of people enjoy doing on the 8th string but instead of flopping all over like a barracuda caught on a hook 🪝 the note remains right in the pocket of perfect tonal deliverance so when recording you get a beautiful large punch right in the 🌰’s while wearing a smile 😀
Hello. First of all, congratulations on the absolutely awesome guitar. I have the RGA8. It has Seymour Duncan Blackouts and I plug it straight into a Peavey Invective. Mh. Can you please play the m8 straight into the Peavey? I use an English 4X12. Many thanks and have fun👍🏻😊
For me...probably no guitar is worth 6K. And that one is pretty basic, so it's hard to see where that money went other than the artist cut, original R&D and programming costs. To me even 4K would be pushing it, but somewhat understandable. I cut myself off around 3K. For that reason, I buy mostly used for higher end stuff.
Great guitar Jon! Have you ever tried the JHS 3 Series Screamer? I compared this effect directly to the Lichtlaerm Audio King in Yellow and I am shocked how good this budget effect from JHS is. The amount of self-noise is lower than in King In Yellow, it has a lot of headroom and the single tone knob works very effectively. I recommend you try it 🙂 Cheers!
I bet you did this just for write off purposes lol killer guitar dude. I'd love to own an M8M one day. Those Japanese 8 strings just play WAY differently from the indo models.
Are you still using Elixir strings? If you don't mind - which specific gauges and coatings are you using? Are normal Elixirs long enough or did you have to opt for bass strings?
Hi great video! How would you compare it to the Schecter Damien Platinum 9 please ? I know you have it too, and it's the only guitar i have right now for recording! I Wonder how much different this is except the one more string on schecter side (Also i put 909x in mine)
No, but it's pretty cool. Of course, if it's worth it to you from a collecting/nostalgia standpoint then of course enjoy. No guitar is worth 6k in regard to sound and playability. the returns diminish fast after 2k. Used to be after 1k but inflation sucks and not cheap Indo guitars are 1.5k 🤣 Also, these demo riffs are sick and I love that you're actually using all the strings. I'm probably getting rid of my 8 because I don't use them.
Congrats on the owning a M8M. I myself have been humming and hawing if I should pull the trigger on ordering one myself. Because of the steep price point and financial priorities in life I don’t know if it’s in the cards for me at this point. Amazing job on showcasing the monumental sound of this beast! Sounds ever so good! \m/

Any ideas for gig bags for these kinds of guits? Have a 28” 8 string and a 30” baritone 6, none of my regular gig bags close to fit them 😅
Maybe a bass bag?
I really don’t get why the guitarists of Meshuggah won’t update their signature guitars with Evertune bridges
That is not worth 3k yet alone 6
Congrats on the owning a M8M. I myself have been humming and hawing if I should pull the trigger on ordering one myself. Because of the steep price point and financial priorities in life I don’t know if it’s in the cards for me at this point.
Amazing job on showcasing the monumental sound of this beast! Sounds ever so good! \m/
why took it sooooo long?! Dude I am waiting for your review since you unboxed it. No one deserves that thing more than you do
Slay on 😎🍻🤘
The aesthetics alone is not worth the price, imo.
I got an idea for a level 99 boss fight.
Please compare this with the damien 9 string for one
