WTB/ LF: one of them there “good” 888’s

[SlowThrow (Kyle ✌️❤️🪀)]

So I tire of living in the shadow of the early “good” 888, I have two 888x, and I would like to track down an 07, 08, 2011 “classic”, or whatever is considered a proper 888. I enjoy my X’s, so I’m really curious what I’m missing.

Forgive me for tagging, but I know both @kawaii.kaede and @pyrotechnic seem to know a lot about these, am I on the right track? Are there other more easily attainable models that will fit the bill of the “true 888 experience”? Thanks in advance!

Not looking for a collector piece, I’m gonna play this bad boy.

I guess I never came across the thread comparing the new 888’s to the OG design. Is it out there? Are they comparable or still nothing better than…?

[pyrotechnic (Kris Pyrotechnic Team Throw-Yo)]

Well I would highly recommend the newest 888 they play like the OG but better machining. But if your going for OG get the 07, 08 or 2011 “classic”

[pyrotechnic (Kris Pyrotechnic Team Throw-Yo)]

Hold my beer

Here they are in order of 07, 08, Classic and Newest

Well as you can see the dimensions are all the same

The biggest difference is weight

Hope this helps

Edit: realized after I was done that the 08 has z-stacks so that will add a lil bit to the weight so here is hubstack to Z-stack weights

So take about 3.23 grams off the 08 weight which brings it to 65.58

Very helpful, thanks a ton!!! That certainly widens my scope a bit, and I totally forgot the newest iteration is a callback to the originals.
