RG8 Roll Call

[Robtheripper]

Thanks for the add to the list and its official! check out my NGD of my black one!

 

[CrashRG]

what color? what size are you gonna use?

Haha sorry, I was excited about my purchase and ensuing hand cramping. I got a black one. I actually had a guy try to buy it off me in the parking lot as I was leaving. Grabbed a set of Ernie Ball .010-.074's to start with......ibanez's website says stock is like .010-.065.......so I'll slowly bump up til I like something.

Probably not going to do any mods just yet. Saving up for some Lundgren M8's, and relearning the guitar since I haven't really played much guitar in 3 years.

I dont have any pics, but I've got a white one

 

[LivingTimmy]

I'll most likely be ordering mine tomorrow! Didn't realize that it would be so difficult to get a white one into New Zealand xD . My local Ibanez dealer said they could only do black, cos apparently "White can't be very popular"

So, I'll try at another music shop to get the white one. But if that fails, I'll still be the proud owner on an RG8, even if its a different colour

I went to guitar center after work to play with some toys and I walked out with an RG8.

It played quite nicely in the store, but then I got it home and restrung/set it up and I'm thoroughly impressed. The pickups are pretty fantastic for the price. Sounds pretty ridiculous through my 5150. Its like instant Meshuggah.

I restrung it with a set of ernie ball slinky 8 string .010s and in F the tension is great. The stock strings were super light. I had heard that but the degree of floobiness surprised me.

I got it in black. It looks mean as shit.

 

[LivingTimmy]

Got my black RG8 today, AMAZING! I love it, I'm going to post an NGD video later on in the week

 

[DespoticOrder]

Mine should be here soon! Bought the black on ebay for 360. Its shipping from NJ, and I'm in DE, so It should be here pretty quick hopefully. I've already ordered stuff for the first few mods that I plan on doing, and I'll be sure to post pics in the RG8 Mod thread!

 

[azcamber]

Mine is on the way (black), and it should be here in about a week, give or take, along with some thicker strings to put on it to avoid the stock string floppiness. After hearing so many good things about this guitar, I can't wait to finally play it and see what all the fuss is about!

 

[Whipsy77]

Got mine yesterday..White, Good guitar for the price, no complaints

 

[CanniballistiX]

I ran into some trouble attempting to string a D'Addario .074 F# through the bridge. It wouldn't let it through! There is a small taper on the string and that appears to be what is not allowing it through.

Has anyone had to adjust or tamper with their bridge to get even a .074 through it?

I just had to force mine through. It was a really tight fit though.

I dont have this issue with my RG8? I used .74 for a few weeks after I got mine and now I'm using a .80 and they fit just fine.

Maybe there is something getting in the way? Dirt, wood etc...?

 

[Liverspot]

Hi all! Im here because of this, and yes, i know its backwards. lol. I look forward to the wealth of experience and information in this forum regarding this guitar.
