What string gauges are you guys using/gonna use? I'm feeling like the stock strings are a bit floppy, I'm in factory F standard tuning...
I got to play one at guitar center tonight, and it felt and played better than any RGA8 I have ever played for some reason. The pickups are actually pretty darn good considering the price.
OK, I'm dead set on buying one of these in the next few weeks or so. A practical question for those that have them. What's a decent hard case that fits them? I'd assume there's a case available for them from Ibanez, but I'm not opposed to going off-brand so long as it fits. I don't do guitars without cases anymore.
Anybody have a recommendation?
RG1008C GTR CASE RG 8 STRING
I played a RG8 over the weekend for about an hour at Guitar Center. Honestly, I've previously owned a RGA8 and a RG2228 and the RG8 is actually a much nicer guitar than either one. It actually fixed two of my major issues with both of them. First off the neck seems thicker and much more rigid. No more flexing and effecting the pitch when you're playing standing up. Secondly the hipshot style bridge rules compared to the Edge III-8 bridge. Plus the addition of a larger ferrule on the back to accommodate a bass string is a nice touch. Pickups sounded fine to me as well. If you never had an 8 this is the guitar. Buy it.
