Simply: does anyone know where to get a replacement one of these for a good price?

Just make a new one, you can get nut blanks from multiple online stores.
Any authorized Ibanez dealer or distributor/importer can order you one. Just call or e-mail them.
Jesus ...Rich has one, will not be cheap though...
IBANEZ RULES!! - PARTS FOR SALE
8 string - Top Mount Black - RG2228 430mm 2LN00AA001 2LN00AA001 1 $175.00 " Black - Indonesian 400mm 2LN1MAA001 2LN1MAA001 1 $100.00
I spoke to a guitar builder who said they wouldn't supply him with any parts, apparently they're strange about it?
i feel like Rich's prices are far to high
Rich's prices aren't really any higher than Ibanez directly, at least 95% of the time. Ibanez doesn't want to be a part supplier and prices their components as such.
Are you saying an 8 string locking nut is $175 RRP? I can buy the whole trem for that here in the UK.
Yes.
Like I said, Ibanez doesn't want to be a parts supplier. What broke on your current RG2228 nut?
To be honest mate, nothing. I wanted to get my hands on one to see what the string spacing is like, I currently have a Siggery with a Kahler hybrid on it and he told me he had to make the neck thicker than he wanted because of the size of the Kahler nut. He assures me if we can track down an Ibanez 8 string nut it's possible to change it over and shave the neck down.

I'm pretty sure the string spacings aren't the same on the two, actually. I can't remember where i read it though.
The spacing is listed right on the Ibanez website. Not to mention, you could probably have some guys here measure thier guitars for you.
What is the Radius of your Siggery? If 400mm will work, just grab the cheaper RGA8 nut.
Ibanez got there act together in regards to supplying parts so they are readily available now. Unfortunately it came with a large price tag. Rich is not overcharging for parts, that is simply what Ibanez is charging for them. But at least you can get them now.
...Until you see the Ibby retail price on their official site. OP, I replaced mine in January and went with Rich, he may have upped his price since then but it cost me $175 as opposed to the Ibanez price of $300+.i feel like Rich's prices are far to high
