Strong Stable and Resonant Tonewoods The Ibanez RG8 is designed to cover a huge melodic range with its 8 strings stretching from 1D# to 8F. This gives you access to unparalleled low-range riffing combined with the convenience of a standard top-end tuning; perfect for modern styles of metal. To achieve this feat the RG0QM is crafted from tonally-versatile mahogany. The neck is a made from maple and walnut sandwiched in 5 pieces for enhanced strength stability and resonance whilst maintaining a thin profile for easy playability. The guitar has a jatoba fingerboard which is a dense wood to create low-end articulation for complex riffing and a fast response. Easy Playability Playing an 8-string guitar requires an unusually long finger reach so the RG8 has several playing specifications to help you utilise all 8 strings. The neck has a thin Wizard II-8 profile which is only 20mm thick at the 1st fret. The fingerboard has a flat 400mm radius giving you complete balance across the strings while the jumbo frets provide enhanced finger-string contact. The RG body shape is smoothly contoured and has two extended cutaway horns. When combined with the all-access bolt-on neck joint these features create un-restricted access to all 24 frets and help you to play the most technically challenging styles of music. IBZ-8 Pickups The RG8 is loaded with Ibanez IBZ-8 pickups. These are passive/ceramic designs that provide a warm tone which still maintains clarity during complex chord voicings. The pickups have a powerful humbucker sound with noise-free operation and are ideal for modern styles of metal. Whether youre playing fast lead lines tapped chords and arpeggios staccato riffs or complex chords; the IBZ-8 pickups will ensure that every detail is heard. Fixed Bridge A fixed bridge gives an inherently more stable platform than a tremolo system and the RG8s bridge is created for this exact purpose. This bridge offers independent adjustments of string action and intonation and gives maximum string resonance transfer to the body.
