No longer available at zZounds
Get Ibanez's S8 8-string, and get the tone and sustain for which the S Series is famous, as well as a unique neck shaped to feel natural to 6-string players.

What's special about this item?

Feature: What it does:
Mahogany body Rich, warm, focused sound; added sustain
Ibanez AH8 pickups Ripping tone that cuts through the mix
Wizard II-8 neck The fastest neck for 8-string guitarists
Gibraltar Standard 8 bridge Well-intoned 8-string playability; rich resonance

Cloaked in a blacker than black finish, the Ibanez S8 8-string leads the pack with form and function. Featuring pearl dot inlays which accent its rosewood fretboard, the S8 is fast playing with plenty of tone. Lurking beneath the S Series graceful 3-D shape is mahogany specifically chosen for this S Series guitar. Light enough to amaze in terms of comfort, heavy enough to provide the tone and sustain that the S Series players have come to expect.

As the originators of the thin, fast neck, the Wizard-8 27 inch neck is another point of pride with the Ibanez designers. The increased mass that eight strings require has been ingeniously shaped to feel as natural as possible to the six-string trained player. The AH-8 humbuckers provide an impressive palette of tone textures, leaning particularly toward the gritty side of town. The Gibraltar Standard 8 bridge provides an super-stable anchor, and minimizes string contact.

The guitar is light and feels great while playing gigs no more stress on the shoulders. The neck feels great and the 27 inch scale doesn't bother me but I did however have friends have trouble with it. it has a 5 pu way selector. worth the price and beats majority of the other 8 strings. I use to play one a Schecter omen 8.
