If you're a modern metal musician searching for a brutal 8-string guitar, look no further than the Ibanez RGDMS8. This multi-scale tone monster features a crushing pair of Fishman Fluence humbuckers and a wicked-fast Wizard III-8 neck, making it perfect for players who love performing sweep arpeggio runs while simultaneously melting faces. It also serves up devilishly-good looks to match its killer sound, courtesy of its classic silver matte finish, gold hardware, and white pickup covers. Reach out today if you're interested in this stunning 8-string electric guitar!

The RGDMS8 starts with a nyatoh body, giving it a solid tonal foundation with full lows, punchy mids, and truckloads of sustain. Its Wizard III-8 neck plays with an incredibly quick response, making it great for players who want the crunchy, abyssal tones offered by an 8-string but don't want to fight the neck while playing it. Players will also enjoy its multi-scale design that not only makes it easier to shred blistering solos, but makes the lows tighter and fuller, bringing a new level of gut-punching power to drudging doom-metal riffs. And thanks to its Mono-rail bridge that isolates each individual string, the RGDMS8 offers unmatched articulation, sustain, and resonance.

Players who love aggressive, hard-hitting pickups will appreciate the RGDMS8's Fishman Fluence humbuckers that deliver a stellar array of high-gain tones while remaining noise-free. With an alnico neck pickup and a ceramic bridge humbucker, these pickups can be mixed and matched to suit any hard rock or heavy metal setting. And thanks to its coil-tap switch and Fishman Fluence push/pull voicing control, this 8-string can dial in a wealth of menacing sounds.

With its impeccable construction, premium pickups, and fantastic playability, the RGDMS8 is the go-to axe for metal musicians seeking a high-powered modern 8-string guitar.
