    • Love this guitar!
Review Image by K. K.
I have played an Ibanez RG seven string guitar for many years and other six string Ibanez models too. I actually played other eight string guitars and though they sounded good I did not like the necks. My problem with other brands I do not like super thick necks, and Ibanez has nailed it perfectly for the eight string RG. The Ibanez eight string guitar sounds great, and easy for me to play the only difference is one extra string and slightly wider neck. All eight strings are reachable for me to play. I tested out the tone and the pickups are wonderful. I play a lot of different music and I tested out some jazz, rock, and metal today. The guitar has bite to it when hitting the low end which I love. Again, it is a excellent go to guitar for any music genre, and the price you cannot beat. Anyone who decides to go from a six string guitar to an eight string may have an issue with the wider neck so you may want to try out a seven string first and see if you like it. If you play a seven string guitar the transition should be pretty easy, at least it was for me. Awesome guitar!!! ... show more

    • Great 8-string for the money
Review Image by Sean Ray Sean Ray
First, I wouldn't recommend this for beginners learning guitar for the first time. However, if you want to graduate from a 7-string guitar, then this is a good start. I did a lot of research on 8-string guitars and wanted to start with something that had quality and at an inexpensive price. I'm please to have made my choice on this guitar. This Ibanez 8-string is a really great guitar and a really great price. I read a lot of reviews and a lot of them stated that there was some setup needed when they received their guitars. This seems to be the case on the one I bought. However, it's a small tweak. The 8th string buzzes around 12th through 15th frets. Other than that, all of the other strings seem fine, the intonation is perfect, and the neck is straight. For the 8th string, I only needed to raise the bridge saddle for that string only slightly. The guitar sounds great, plays great, and surprisingly light weight. If you're looking for an inexpensive 8-string that's not made in China, then look no further. This is a great guitar. ... show more

    • Great buy for the money
I've been eyeing this guitar for a few months now, and finally decided to take the plunge for 2 reasons. 1, you can't beat $399 on an 8-string guitar from a trusted manufacturer like Ibanez; 2, I'm a broke prog junkie, so anything more than 6-strings is a must, plus $399 on an 8-string guitar... Having played 6-string all my life and diving into an 8-string out of the blue is quite the experience. It takes some getting used to. The whole instrument is pretty heavy. The neck is so wide (a necessity, of course) and the scale makes string tension feel tight, but once you practice on it for a while it starts to feel just right. PROS: The wizard neck is a very flat D-shape which makes getting across the fretboard much easier. You can't beat the price on a brand like Ibanez (I may be a bit of a fanboy). Beautiful arctic white finish. Black hardware makes a cool contrast to the body color, plus it feels solid. The input jack feels very strong (in contrast to a gripe I had with some previous Ibanez models). Pickups sound nice both clean and distorted, not muddy at all. They're not great, but nice. And now CONS: The stock strings cause fret buzz FOR AGES, I'm not even joking. I read using a higher gauge is better for 8-strings, specially when playing a half-step down, and drop Ab. Factory setup is terrible, probably more due to the stock string gauge... The guitar weighs a lot more than what I'm accustomed to, but you get used to it. My instrument arrived with a corner that has thinned out paint so you can almost see the wood. It might have happened during shipping or in factory (I'm not fretting over that, though, it gives the guitar some character, IMO). Again, fret buzz. Terrible fret buzz. The pickups, as I mentioned in the PROS are nice, but they can be better, it is to be expected on a guitar in this price range, of course. Eventually, I'll swap 'em out for something better. In summary, if you want to try out extended range guitars, this one is totally worth the money. Though, you NEED to swap the stock strings out with a higher gauge and have it set up professionally. ... show more

    • Wow what a value!
I was shocked at the quality of this instrument. I was expecting it to feel cheaply made,have bad electronics, an iffy paint job, etc. etc. However, if I were to have picked up the guitar at say a music store without knowing anything about it, I would have thought it was a $700 guitar easy! The neck is a comfortable scale, although I have noticed the inside of my left (fingering) wrist in that pocket by my thumb tends to get strained easily, especially if I don't warm up or stretch before playing. That seems to be an issue with all 8 string guitars tho, as I've played others now, and a friend of mine with a Carvin has the same problem. The stock pickups are totally decent as well, with the bridge p/u having the most grainy/bitey level, the middle position takes away a bit of that gain but adds a bit of punch to it, and the neck position has the highs rolled off that makes bass lines fun to play. The paint job is flawless, tho I wish the headstock would have been match painted with the body...I'm going to have to do that myself. It has a good weight to it, it feels substantial but pretty well balanced. Machine heads turn with the right amount of variance though a locking nut would be something I'd want to have installed at a later point. I've noticed it's pretty susceptible to temperature/humidity changes but that's not really a huge deal I guess. All in all I'm so happy I picked the RG8, it's my new baby, my Fender Jagstang, and Gibson Original SG Robot are jealous and collecting dust. ... show more
