An homage to style and craftsmanship, this 8-string monstrosity features a 5-piece neck with KTS titanium reinforcement and custom DiMarzio pickups.

Ibanez trumps all other with the introduction of their RG2228A 8-string electric guitar. Whether it's about rock n' roll or heavy metal, or about the ever-growing global community of djent, the bottom line has always been power. The artists that Ibanez had the honor to work with aspire to move mountains. They build on their ideas. Seven strings, and then eight strings-each innovative step towards creation of musical weaponry that can deliver nothing less than pure shock and awe.

I'd been shopping around and reading reviews for various 8 string guitars for about two months now. I finally decided and purchased this model from Zzounds. It arrived well packed and in perfect condition. I had to make some adjustments and tune it, but other than that ,this guitar rocks. The passive Dimarzio pickups are well balanced and quite hot. Ibanez has built an excellent instrument in the RG2228.The gloss black finish is flawless and I should mention the case fits the guitar like a glove. I'm very pleased with this guitar and would recommend it to anyone.
