I know the answer to these questions is typically, "try in person" but I live in the outback of Australia, extended range guitars are practically non existent in a travelable distance for me. I'm debating on whether to buy the Ibanez RGMS8 or Ibanez's RG80F. Or something else, I see a lot of Agile, Legator and sometimes Harley Benton recommendations for cheaper 8 strings, but they're unavailable here.
I'm mostly wondering between the two Ibanez's, is if the lack of a multiscale is worth it for the better pickups or vice versa.
