Let the RG8 Mods begin...

My friend wants to do a "Pandzilla" on my 8 and I'm not sure how to go about it... would I have to completely refinish it? Could we make a decal, put it on, and then just add another clear?

He are the working designs for the curious

The design isn't final but I'm leaning towards the last one

None of them. Theyre all kind of cheesey imo

I'll be getting a set of these instead of actives due to there not being much room for a battery.

 

[berzerkergang]

Dammit,,, why after I ordered d'activators do I find more and more pickups I want. If only they made the dimebucker for 8 strings.

When are these pegasus pups going to be on the market?

No idea. and seeing as the new limited jackson 8 strings don't come with cases nor do they make cases for them I'm just going to save up for a Carvin DC800 and throw some of these pegasus pickups in

My RG8 is getting Ionizers or Aftermaths at some point.

 

[berzerkergang]

FOR ALL RG8 modders, I have a friend that's incredible with this type of thing that is going to make a template and do my pickguard for me, when it's done I will show you guys and if you like it then he will be taking orders for more. Seeing as how there's really only one guy doing them I figure one more wont hurt.

I like the sound of it and the purple will certainly add something to it. Killswitches are really easy to install and can be pretty useful. I wanna see that pickguard because I've been considering getting one for my eight.

This whole "nobody makes pickguards for RG8s" shit is killing me. GIVE ME A TORTOISE SHELL PICKGUARD, DAMMIT!

 

[berzerkergang]

When I looked around locally I found 3-4 guys willing to do it for me. I just happened to find one guy that was willing to do the pickguard plus install my pickups and kill switch as well. Call your local guitar shops to see if any of the techs will do it, youll probably just need to hit ebay for the material which only cost me 13 bucks for a big sheet. Type in blank pickguard material or black scratch guard material. Then youre good to go.

Not there yet, but soon... Also, If I was already there, couldn't afford to play it, deadlines are a bitch...

Just got info that the new Pegasus pickups will be out around the end of April and the soapbar model will be $139 USD

For that price level, I would probably go for a Lace death bar-xbar combo...

Hi guys, I might be getting an RG8 soonish, if I get a guitar sold..
But I was wondering, I have always played drop C ( CGCFAD) on my 6 string and drop G (GDGCFAD) on my 7 string.. So would a drop D (DADGCFAD) be possible for an 8 and what string size would be needed for going that low..
10-52 set, a 68 for the 7th and for the 8th I have no idea..
Also planning on a white one, with white headstock and ebonized fretboard mod.. after that work it will be pickup swaps..
Cheer guys
