Sculpted for perfection
Like many guitars from Ibanez, the RG8 is designed for performance, precision, and playability. Its mahogany body ensures the guitar has a lightweight and durable construction. This means you are provided with a wide range of movement due to the guitar not weighing you down. It’s not just the guitar that ensures you playing experience is perfect though.
The RG8 has a neck specification aimed at high-performance, speed, and comfortability. It features a Wizard II-8 neck that is thin, flat, and smooth, yet strong and sturdy. This allows for easy and comfortable playing. On top sits a fretboard that features twenty-four frets. This offers a wide tonal range to experiment with for the perfect solos. The extra-long 27” scale is ideal for the factory set down tuning and provides clean notes with long sustain and even more tonal possibilities.
