Ibanez RG Standard RG8 8 String Electric Guitar Black

The mysteries of the 8-string are beckoning musically adventurous players from all four corners, but until recently, such exploration was the privilege of only a lucky few. Now Ibanez, the leader in 8-string electric guitar development offers a high quality yet affordable 8-string experience.

With a sultry finished Mahogany body that is not only refined, but adds to the rich low end of the RG8’s 27” neck, and a scale-length that opens up a plethora of down-tuning possibilities. Its Rosewood fingerboard, inlaid with classic white dots complete the RG8’s visuals, and its jumbo frets grant license for all the string-bending you can bring. As the originators of the thin, fast neck, the Wizard II-8 is yet another achievement for the Ibanez design team in terms of comfort—comfort that translates into maximizing player performance. Proprietary moderate output IBZ-8 pickups are designed to thrive in the down-tuned netherworld, while still delivering notable clarity. Fixed bridge 8 bridge boasts a low profile design, allowing plenty of picking hand freedom while optimizing tuning stability.
