How is the action on your RG8? Has it been set up? I haven't had mine for very long, had it setup with new strings and my action higher up on the neck is a little too high and almost makes it unplayable. Wondering if you have had the same problem?
Hey, so I got a new Ibanez RG8, the action was great when I got it but, after i had the pickups swapped and a new set of strings the action has gotten pretty high, even with a setup. It's not too uncomfortable to play, but its a little difficult with a lower tuning.
So should I just have it...
Well really this was really just an affirmation of my suspicion. I'm glad I got so many responses, plus I wanted some opinions if this build was plausible. Ill shoot the guys at RAN an email and see what I come up with.
Hey everybody, so I've decided recently to go with RAN guitars to build me a custom 8, but they are Polish and I live in America so I'm not sure how to configure prices and am curious if any of you could give me a price range?(RAN users would help)
I am basically wanting an Ibanez clone of...
I absolutely fucking hate hardcore dancing, but I would take them dancing if not for the fucking karate! Fuck that bullshit! Last show I went to, guy faced away from the stage and just flung his foot backwards try to "kick-back" just hitting me in the arm. I know it's their idea of "moshing" but...

It has got to be this one for me. Hate Eternal's 'Tombeau', there is so much emotion in this song and the extended guitar solo really makes you feel things about Erik Rutan's friend passing away ie lyrical content and...
Ya I get it. And besides I'm really my own project anyway. Besides the name of the guitar I might go with, all of the best guitars have names. Does anyone know if luthiers night have access to fossilized materials. This is all for aesthetics and sound experimentation anyway.
Recently I've decided that RAN guitars will be the direction for a custom guitar I want to design. My questions is that if anyone knows if the guys at RAN or anyone else has access to petrified woods for guitar body/neck. Ex; petrified mahogany/maple/walnut, or perhaps fossilized ivory fret...
Okay, so to start off, I know it's virtually impossible to get endorsed by Ibanez or get a custom in the US. So I need help or advice on getting a custom Xiphos. I know Ibanez discontinued their 7 string model, :nuts: but I'm looking for an 8 string custom. If there were some custom builders out...
