"THE RG2228 PRESTIGE IS THE BOMB!"
Feature:
the neck actually fitted my big hands like a jigsaw, perfectly compared to 6 strings, i thought the locking nut was great and the 8 strings, i loved everything about it.
Quality:
i was so impressed, the whole guitar was made to such a high level, i do see the reason behind the price tag. this thing was A MONSTER. i swear I could take this axe into a full out mosh pit and it would still shine in all its glory. very high quality.
Value:
you'll get what you pay for it. but i just wish i had it.
Desirability:
I do want this monster really badly, i can but dream of owning the RG2228 prestige. its the stupid LAME price tag that is the barrier. GRRR. it WILL be mine and when it is I wont put it down for SHO!
Sound:
being an Ibanez fan, these emg pickups were steamy when i started doing some HEAVY riffing.
the best pickups ive ever heard. the 8th string was great for palm muting, i wanted it to do sound similar to metal bands such as lamb of god, fear factory, divine heresy and thats what it did. the clean was cool but i only used it for a short time. i got MEGA brutal .
ive never heard better from a guitar in my life
Ease of Use:
the neck was very thin and suprisingly flat and the action was SO LOW!! no fingering high action strings honestly, any lower and the strings would be IN the neck, i dont know how they do it but ibanez have some serious genius, and it shows in everything they make. the easiest i have ever played
Support:
N/A
Overall:
once i own it I will NEVER look anywhere EVER for another guitar AGAIN. i think i have found the best guitar on the PLANET. this ticks all the boxes, Id deffinitely replace it without a doubt. I wouldnt DARE put this down or sell it, its THE BOMB!! only thing is a trem would be cool and its out of my budget. but i would recommend it to metalheads everywhere begginer or pro. get yours NOW!

"Amazing guitar!!!!!!!!"
Feature:
The 8 string beast came with a beautiful hardshell case. The locking tremelo is awesome and will keep the guitar in tune for days, even with the most brutal riffs. This guitar also is not to heavy for it's size. Playability is excellent and the electronics along with the pickups as i said sound awesome.
Quality:
The guitar came ready to play. There were no adjustments that i had to make. This guitar would also stand tall on the road. You could throw this guitar at a brick wall and it would still keep it's tone.
Value:
Not many companies produce 8 strings, but the value for this one in my opinion is excellent. although you would expect a floyd rose for the price, this guitar keeps its tuning. (This guitar will not go out of tune!)
Desirability:
After i played this guitar at my local dealer i had to have it.
Sound:
This guitar can stand out in almost any style of music. The emg pickups sound awesome and capture the sound of each string. Because the pickups are active there is a little bit of feedback, but nothing to worry about because you cant hear it when playing.
Ease of Use:
This guitar makes it easy to transfer from even a 6 string model. Although i went from a 6 string to the 8 string, i would suggest that you play a 7 string first to get a feel for the extra strings.
Support:
Never worked with them.
Overall:
This guitar overall is great not so much for beginners but for guitarists looking for a challenge. It looks and sounds awesome, and is suitable for any genre of music. 8 strings.....WHAT ELSE COULD YOU WANT!!!!!!!!
