Ibanez RG8. New Budget 8-string.

[sawtoothscream]

wouldnt mind trying one out.

 

[namewithheld]

Fucking sweet... And cheap too. Like someone said above, perfect for a noob (like me) to try out extended range. Thanks for the pics.

 

[JPhoenix19]

So tempted to pull the trigger! Ugh!

 

[Captain Butterscotch]

Do want. I'm gonna mod the shit out of this thing.

 

[Konfyouzd]

tbb did you plug it in?

I want one just for the modability... And the fact that I no longer have an 8...

EDIT: Thread read fail... Would you consider the stock pickups as usable as the Agile Cepheus pups or would you say they should be replaced immediately just like the stockers in the RGA8?

 

[toiletstand]

guhhhhi want it

 

[Spaceman_Spiff]

That E string is out of the nut...

 

[HeHasTheJazzHands]

Yup.
I want it.

 

[MF_Kitten]

 

[Konfyouzd]

Yup.
I want it.

I'm gonna get it I'm pretty sure... It's just a matter of when. A lot of stores are letting people preorder... I may go into my local shop today and see if they'll lemme do the same...

 

[Spaceman_Spiff]

Well I really want one but I'd like to wait until someone gets theirs or until I can try one out.

 

[Cremated]

Lol at the high e not being in the nut. I wouldn't have caught that.

 

[geofreesun]

those frets look kinda smaller than jumbo, or is it just me?

RG8... 8 string floyd rose... = a lot of NGD's in the ERG section

I'd say they're infinitely more usable than the active pups that come in the RGA8, but most of you will probably want to switch them anyway. I think I'm gonna bring my laptop and interface to work Saturday and get some DI's done so you guys can really hear it.

Stand up gentleman right here. You do that and you get more rep your way.

 

[Corrosion]

Hmm.. better than the RGA8 stocks you say? I somehow doubt that they are worthy of being in a guitar, these are ibby pups we are dealing with, and lord knows why someone would want them is beyond me.

 

[oracles]

Do want! Little concerned about the F# ferrule though...

Trust me it's a hell of a lot better than having a bass string ball end digging into your belly. I think it is an awesome detail.

I was a bit concerned, until i remembered that if use Circle K strings, and i can just order a bass string instead of a guitar string, and it'll work. The guitar and bass strings are the same, but with different lengths and ball ends.
