'bout fucking TIME someone made an inexpensive 8 string without a forearm-denting arch top.

Oh ok, I wasn't aware of that. I have been checking the Ibanez site daily but no luck there either. AMS sits says they should be in stock by November 30th so we'll know for sure by then.

Agile has been doing that for nearly five years now.

I talked to one of the chaps from the company that brings the Ibanez stuff into Australia today and they didn't know what the hell I was talking about, said if it's not yet available in the states that we will probably have a >6 month wait before it's available here. not entirely unexpected, but still disappointing.
I have a feeling that AMS/zZounds jumped the gun and Ibanez was planning for an early next year release. Something around NAMM time.

^You are probably right. Nov/Dec seemed like an odd time to debut a new model. Unless they were trying to cash in on Christmas sales. I don't remember any new gear in the past being released during that time though.
Well, NAMM is in January so it's not too far off. It's usually around November and December that things are finalized and a lot of stuff actually ships out then.
In the past Ibanez has had a hard time getting everything out in time to be in stores around NAMM, perhaps they're trying to change that with earlier ship/release/stock dates.
Considering it's a cheap-ish model, I don't think the idea of trying to get it in for Christmas sales is anything less than completely plausible. This could be a really good way to make good cash out of the kids just getting into both Djent and Deathcore. Or out of their parents, more like.

I can't believe noone has done this (or they did and didn't post results)!
I PM'd Rich Harris on Jemsite.
If anyone knows, it's him.

Agile puts out $400 8 string, gets 5 replies on thread.
Ibanez does it, and SSO flips their shit.

It's nothing new for Agile, and if this RG8 is available internationally, unlike Agile, than the implications are great.
Plus, I remember when Agile 8-strings were $300 and came with a real Hipshot bridge and EMG.

It's not like it was a bad decision on their part. Up the price to $800, make your own cheaper bridge and they probably get more sales now than ever before!
I bet this forum is the main reason that they're getting so popular. And Keith Merrow.
