NGD incoming, but I got this yesterday, and now I am an RG8 player.

Or, with it being roll call;
Here!

[exo]

Didn't know about this thread, so I'm a month late getting here......

 

[Spicypickles]

No gottie pics, but I have a white one that I painted the headstock white on. There are some pics in the luthiers/mods section if one is so inclined.

 

[robski92]

Just bought one a couple weeks ago myself actually!

 

[superheavydeathmetal]

I grabbed one some time ago. The back of the neck feels super smooth and nice.

I put a DiMarzio PAF 8 in the neck and a Seymour Duncan Black Winter in the bridge, with a 5-way switch for coil splitting.

The tone pot on mine is messed up. If I turn it up all the way, it cuts the tone as if it was turned down. I need to back it off a bit to get full tone.

I will probably just short it out this weekend because I never use tone (or volume) pots anyway.

 

[theFraz]

no pics for mine, is a standard black.
but with a Blackouts in the bridge and a 808X in the neck

 

[Leviathus]

OH YES!
First things first.....

Yeauuuh...

Feels good to be part of the club.

I just got my RG8004 Silverburst yesterday!
I strung it up with the D'Addario NYXL 9-80 set.
Here's an imgur album and a Soundcloud test clip

welcome aboard
Also what tuning are you using on it for those string gauges. Ive been using the Ernie Ball 9-80 set but in Drop E my low is still too loose so im waiting on my first set including a 90 on bottom to try.

I'm tuned (low-to-high) EBEADGBE. The gauges for that set are 80, 60, 44, 32, 24, 12, and 9. This works well for me because I generally use a 10-52 set for E standard on a 25.5" scale guitar, so the 9-44 (which is a bit thicker on the low end than a usual 9-42 set) makes sense for 27" scale. Then, I generally use 64 or higher for a low A on my 7s, so 60 is just fine for a low B here. I do agree that the 80 gauge string is still a tad bit floppy for a low E, but it works well enough for me tonally speaking.

EDIT: I wanted to add that I generally just like pretty freakin' tight strings on the lowest of ERG strings. The 80 is totally fine for E, but I would just prefer tighter.

Same exact approach as me only I tune to Drop E open tuning instead.

Well I guess I just joined the club a few hours ago, so that these new RG8s were on sale at guitar center, so I had to get one since I was thinking about 8 string stuff lately. I wanted the white one, but the hanger they were using on it was worn out and bent up the wood next to the headstock, so the black will do.

Its interesting to play an 8 finally, but I think 7 will remain my default/home guitar, it just feels the best to me. I'll still have a ton of fun with this rg8 though.

 

[M3CHK1LLA]

back when i started this thread, i didnt anticipate ibanez offering them in different finishes...that shows how well theyve done in sales i believe.
