Hello Everyone!
I've been looking for a second hand M80M for nearly a decade and one finally popped up for a decent price so I picked it up.
Few questions:
1. I think it has the stock strings on it, but they seems pretty light. I'm wondering if this set is long enough to make it to the...
Hey sevenstringslingers!
I've had this idea for a while. I now have 2 8-strings (Ibanez M80M and LTD SC-608B) and 2 9-strings (Ibanez RGIR9FME and Schecter Damien Platinum 9) and I basically wanted to do a little comparison to see how much of a difference in sound the scale length and pickups...
Hey seven stringers!
I wanted to get a cool Meshuggah-esque tone with a tube amp. The goal wasn't to recreate an exact album tone since every single album has a different overall sound. I just wanted to create a simple Meshuggah-type tone with a guitar, an amp and a pedal.
I chose the Dual...
Hi everyone,
I am finally the owner of an M80M. I had some previous experience with an 8-string, a no-name brand from Korea with a 27" scale length and (unbelievable) horrible stock pickups. I still have it, it's back in my home country and perhaps it's worth getting it back with me to...
Sup guys!
What are your latest ultra-low tuned guitar tunes out there?
Just recorded a video showing an Ibanez M80M tuned down to Double Drop G with a .080 string and I'm pretty satisfied with how it sounds, specially given that the string is so thin for such a tuning.
What do you think? :)
Hey all!
First of all I hope you're all doing well and staying safe/healthy.
I recorded a song which I put on my channel last week. It's a heavy rock/metal song with melodic vocals and 8-string guitars (M80). I thought it'd be fun and hopefully useful if I made a tutorial/walkthrough of the...
I've had this guitar for a couple years now and still, everytime I pick this thing up it feels and sounds sooo good! To this day I have not owned or played an 8-string guitar that is so solid. The one I have is a near perfect instrument aside from some small flaws from the factory. I used to...
Specially interested in selling for cash. Open to trade offers for both guitars against your one. Preferences (and hopes...) on 8 srings multiscale , Strato Malmsteen, Kiesel Delos 7....

Did a little A/B comparison with the two strings. Played on an Ibanez M80M which I got recently.
-The D'addario .65 is surprisingly usable, not too loose at all. But it does have that D'addario metallic sound.
-The Ernie Ball .70 sounds pretty good, mids are more neutral. String tension is...
Finally finished shooting this video and putting this out.
The people who sort of follow my stuff knew this was coming, for everyone else, basically took my own sound and made a Deftones thing. :frantic:
Using the M80M one octave below the original tuning, because it's fun. For bass I'm...
Hey good people of SS.org! It's been a while since I posted but I'm back with a joocy NGD.
Been wanting to get this guitar for a while now, decided to pull the trigger a week ago. Turns out the fretboard is now made with Jatoba. Was quite bummed out because it looks too light colored for my...
Hi everybody.
Need help picking an 8 string.
Everything about M80 is great except that its made in Indonesia and so im worried about the build quality compared to the MiJ RG Prestige. The 29.4 scale length combined with the Lundgren M8P pickup are excellent and sound a lot more defined and...
Hey everyone,
My new musical project just released a song on YouTube.
I really wanted to share this with you since I hope some of you might enjoy it...
The project is quite versatile but there will be plenty more 8 and 7 string tunes in the future.
All the songs will feature clean vocals.
This...
I'm installing a Lundgren m pup into a guitar and trying my hand at soldering together a passive electronics setup. When I've played the M80M I've loved what the volume and tone controls do to the tone - really gives it different flavors.
Anyone know the pot and cap values of the volume and...
Greetings brethren! Haven't posted anything in a while since I'm busy as heck with writing my new EP as well as having a crap load of work and personal issues at the moment.
I've just dropped a fresh teaser, featuring the heavy a$$ beginning of a song called Schism, off the upcoming EP Black...
A buddy of mine made this happen today. The stars aligned and this became available so we scooped it up.
I grabbed this used from GuitarCenter here in San Diego, Never thought I'd find one locally.
My one complaint is that the finish is coming off with the slightest pressure from my...
...but to get one after they announced to discontinue it. I always gassed for one, I had a bit of money saved up so why the hell not!
I've had an RG8 before and never really grew into it. I love 8 strings, love how they feel and resonate and just offer so much TO FVCKING DO. I've returned the...
