That's not an RG8 "mod". You put a RG8 pickgaurd on a IR8, I did the same with an RG852, but that's not an RG8 mod.Hello from Spain...
So here is my little "mod"... i took an RG8 white pearl pickguard and put behind a nice red "Wine Burgandy" RGIX28FEQM.
Also replaced the tuners for golden Vanson Locking ones and the switch tip for a golden one.
The ebony fretboard (from this one...) is the only thing i miss on my RG2228...

Know this is a bit old but I was scrolling back looking at mods.thats so sick, didnt know you can make your guitar muiltiscale if it wasnt built to it.
how does it play?
Just bought an rg8 for $300 canadian a couple days ago! Got big plans for it which include sanding it down and totally reshaping it! Will probably take a year but i cant wait for the end result!
Maybe something along these lines just as far as the shape goes View attachment 73020

Youre def right! And i HAAAATE neck dive and it IS proportionately smaller than id prefer. Got lots to think about. Maybe just shaving off a bit of upper "butt" to give that fender jag slant which i love but then leave the horns. And im thinking maybe a matte halloween orange with a black pickguard?! Ooooyeeaaa@Gmork Do pay attention to the guitar's balance. If you remove that amount of wood from the body, it will most likely gain neck dive. Have that in mind before you waste the guitars original body. Instead, why don't you ask a professional help into reproducing that design in a new piece of wood (lots of choices here) and refine from there?... Just a though.
I've changed the horn's strap button on my RG8 so it would work on the guitar's back. The hanging point moved about 2cms from where it was originally and the guitar gained neck dive... so... that's some info to think about.
About the project, the design looks cool with the offset aesthetics, but maybe a bit small for an 8 stringer...? Proportionally, I mean...
