Product Description

First there was 6 strings...then 7 and now 8! While a few years ago finding an 8 string guitar that cost under £1000 was near impossible nowadays they are becoming far more common with a lot of metal guitar brands getting behind the low end. Ibanez in particular have been very fond of expanding their 8 string range and now they have this. The RG8 is one of the best value 8 string guitars on the market today with Ibanez quality but at a fraction of the cost of other 8 strings.

Ibanez Quality

If you have ever been a fan of extended range guitars you know that Ibanez offer some of the best options around no matter your price point. Everything from their beginner focused Gio line to their Prestige models all offer amazing value for money with impeccable build quality that can not be beaten. This guitar is no different with an RG styled Mahogany body, Wizard II-8 five piece neck made out of a mixture of Maple and Walnut.

Handle The Rumble

When you seen own brand pickups with a lot of guitars most will be put off. When you see them on an Ibanez guitar though you don't have to worry with plenty of pros choosing to use these pickups you know they will sound great. On this guitar specifically you have a set of their amazing IBZ-8 passive ceramic pickups designed specifically to handle the low F tuning. With Ibanez's long history with extended range guitars you know you can expect these pickups to have a tight and responsive low end with present midrange to help you cut through a mix.

Fantastic neck. Rest is pretty good for price too. 8 strings are confusing initially but once used to it's hard to go back to 6.
