The 8-string RGDMS8 RGD from Ibanez is the ultimate metal machine, meeting the demands of down-tuning that require a specifically designed responsiveness not found in standard guitars. To optimize for the rich, desirable thickness of tone that down-tuning produces, the neck is extended by one inch to a 26.5” scale with a neck that's still considered "fast" for speed soloing. Extra-deep cutaways grant comfortable access to the necks highest notes. A nyatoh body is paired with a Wizard III 5-piece maple/walnut neck topped with an ebony fingerboard for tight lows and mids with a strong attack in the highs. Fishman Fluence Modern humbucker pickups provide an aggressive tone and a powerful attack without excess noise. Additional features include Gotoh MG-T locking machine heads, a Mono-rail bridge and a coil tap switch to add tonal variations for both pickups.
