Ibanez RG8 Left-Handed Electric Guitar, 8-String

Ibanez has taken their Ingenuity and design of the RG series to create the RG8 8-string guitar. The mysteries of the 8-string have beckoned players everywhere, but until recently such exploration was the privilege of a lucky few. Now Ibanez, the leader in 8-string electric guitar development, brings the experience to the left-handed player.

Black as midnight finish cloaking its basswood body, a 27-inch scale neck opens up a plethora of downtuning possibilities. Its rosewood fingerboard with classic pearl dot inlays complete the visuals, and the jumbo frets grant license for all the string-bending you can bring.

As the originators of the thin, fast neck, the Wizard II-8 is yet another achievement for the Ibanez designers in terms of player comfort--comfort that translates into maximizing player performance. The proprietary IBZ humbucker are designed to thrive in the downtuned netherworld and yield a whole palette of thick, distorted tone textures.
