i changed the tuner pegs to round steinberger-style schallers, very comfy!

Hi!

I'll probably buy an RG8 (black?, white? :scratch:) tomorrow, and I'm wondering if any of you can tell me total lenght of the guitar (from bottom to headstock) in order to know if any of my gigbags are valid for this guitar.

Hey Xykhron. Otro que me suena de G.info...

The lenght of the guitar is 106cm from the bottom strap pin to the farest point of the headstock.

This whole thread has seriously made me want to buy an RG8 and turn it into my plaything. I'm thinking:

-Sand off the finish/paint from the body and headstock

-Use some sort of stain to bring out the wood grain, maybe a dark stain so it looks like the Meshuggah sig. model

-Replace the Ibanez logo with a trendy decal from the internet

-Find some black strat style nobs for the pots

-Possibly new PUs

Sound good anyone?

pretty new to sso. enjoying the info and ideas that yous guys are putting out there, keep it up! that being said here's my entry for the rg8s. mods:
strings (10-74)
stripped body and headstock (nothing better than naked)
Schaller strap locks
da8's and 5 way switch.
nothing too special, but it plays like a champ and sounds fantastic. future plans aren't too huge, looking for a good piece of burled walnut for a pick guard and maybe push pulls for tapping.

Nice! I'm hoping to get an RG8 and strip the body too. :hbang:

This questions might be a little out of place but I think it might help many people. Which case do you guys use for the RG8? Been searching for answers but haven't been able to find any.
