In addition to the famous slim, fast, and ultra-playable Wizard neck, it incorporates all of the advantages of the Ibanez RG series
This 8-string guitar has a basswood body with a fixed bridge and through-body stringing for maximum sustain, while specially-designed Ibanez IBZ humbucking pickups provide a uniform reproduction of all the wide frequencies attainable with this guitar.
This has to be the most reliable and affordable 8-string that you've seen in a long time

Questions & Answers

The scale length of this guitar might make it difficult to tune in standard tuning, and if the scale length is long, what string gauge should I bother with?

If you tune to standard, you will have F and B at the bottom of the strings, which are the standard tuning notes for the entire octave. from there we have E, A, D and so on.

Is it possible to use a Symour Duncan 8 string black winter pickup on the ?

In my case, I have an Ibanez Rg8 FM and the mounting position of the seymour duncan is exactly right, and the sound quality is excellent.

Which would be a good combo amp (tube or solid state) to go with this guitar, considering that this guitar's lowest frequencies might blow a typical amp's ?

What kind of sound you desire is completely up to you. Just an ampgeg Reverbrocket tube amp, which is great for jazz or noises with a distortion. Using a guitar with low frequencies wouldn't do any harm to the speakers. I believe it is more the level of output from the amp going through speakers that does the damage, such as 150 watts through a speaker rated for 30 watts. With this guitar, there is plenty of low end I was planning to run it with both a guitar amp and a bass amplifier, but I did not need to. In addition, be careful with your frequency selection and bumbling the bass and the 8's low end in case you're playing together with a bassist. It may be good to remove certain frequencies from the low end.

Can you tell me what the frets are like on Are you a M or a ?

For a fretwrap you will need to get a large to XL.

Selected User Reviews For Ibanez RG8 8-String Electric Guitar White

A Look at "The Octopus" Taking out all wussies with an axe! Here's a reminder of the deadline A rare and ancient family of guitars, the fo muthaf***ha, with eight strings reaching deep into the abyss and producing sounds never before heard by man
5/5

The sounds of this are gut-wrenching A level of low so painful that your audience will be forced to urinate involuntarily. You can hear Cthulhu coming from the deeps of the ocean and pounding upon your home town through this guitar. What a guitar! This thing is mean! A review of the Ibanez RG-80 We won't play with 8 if we don't have to. There was a super-sized crowd at the super-sized mall It's likely to be hard to find a better Octo-dome than this one There is an axe somewhere else. A bass guitar has strings that go F#, B, E, A, D, G, B, and E, but the frequency range is only one whole step above that of a With the lowest range (and tuning all strings down another whole step), power chords are practically impossible. However, you can get grooves going reminiscent of The Mamas and the Papas when you're playing Electric Wizard. Then what do you plan on doing? You continue to wallow in 6 Is it better to keep up with mediocrity or to try something new? Is it in your power to swear? Ascend to the 8th You were born to be a string dominator! Heads will roll, I assure you.

Great guitar! I love it! The Ibanez RG seven string guitar is the model I've been playing for many years
5/5

Following suits I have also played six string Ibanez models. In real life, I tried another eight string guitar, but while they sounded good, I wasn't fond of the neck. With other brands, I have trouble with super thick necks, but with the eight-string RG Ibanez has nailed it to the ground. With the exception of one extra string and a slightly wider neck, the Ibanez eight string guitar sounds excellent and is easy to play. There is no restriction on the number of strings I can The tone is wonderful and I am very pleased with the pickups. As a musician, I play a range of different styles of music, including jazz, rock, and metal. It has bite when you strike the low end, which is one of my favorite things about the guitar. Despite its price, it is a wonderful go-to guitar for any music genre, and it is a great go-to instrument. is planning on switching from a six string to an eight string will probably not like the wider neck. You may want to try out a seven string first, and if you like it then go from there. At least for me, it was pretty easy to transition from the seven string to the twelve string. That guitar is amazing!.

It's a great place to purchase guitars and music! Our shipment arrived a week earlier than expected! The neck of this guitar is very straight, making it a pleasure to play
5/5

This was an excellent performance with great intonation and action. It is a company that I am extremely pleased with. The company and I plan to do more business together Guitarists, a word of advice There are no problems with a Schecter Omen 8, except for the heel. Here's what you need to know! I also love his wizard neck, by the way.

I love it
5/5

Once it had been setup and the strings swapped, it was playing well. It's recommended that you use 80 gauge strings from Ernie Ball to keep the f# crisp and do not recommend it for the beginner if you have never played a 7 or 8 string guitar before. Strings aren't changed or cannot be changed.

I am amazed by the value of that! It was shocking to see how good this instrument was
5/5

My expectations were that the guitar would feel cheaply made, have bad electronics, and an iffy paint job. However, if I had picked it up at a music store without knowing anything about it, I would have thought that it was a $700 guitar for sure! Despite the comfort of the neck, I have noticed that the inside of my left wrist (fingering) in that pocket below my thumbnail tends to get strained easily, especially if I do not warm up or stretch beforehand. There seems to be an issue with this as well with all 8 string guitars. I've tried others now and a friend of mine has a Carvin with the same issue. Additionally, the stock pickups are totally decent as well. The bridge pickup is most grainy/bitey, the middle position has a little less gain, but it still has a bit of punch, and the neck pickup has the highs rolled off so you can play bass lines. Though I wish the headstock had been painted in accordance with the body, the paint job is flawless. It's going to take me a lot of time. feels substantial and well balanced, as if it had a good weight to it. I would prefer to install a locking nut at a later date so that the machine heads would turn with the right amount of variance. Although it is very sensitive to temperature changes and changes in humidity, that is not a big deal. My Fender Jagstang and Gibson Original SG Robot are jealous and gathering dust . . . but I'm so happy with my choice of the RG8, I couldn't be more pleased.
