Set up us the bomb
what, you an SA goon or something?
the guitar looks better than a 2228, but not good enough to set of my GAS alarm...
So here is Tony Macalpine's new 8 string.

How many goons are on here exactly?
Also, echoing sentiments that the guitar is nice, but it lacks any real personality to me.

tony is making a new album with planet x - thts why he's got the 8 string. i think he's probably stuck with carvin, but maybe 1 or 2 songs uses the 8 string on

No. He's fully endorsed by Ibby, now.
Perhaps Carvin wasn't willing to make him an 8-string.

Yeah he also has a s series 7 string. Stock I think with different pickups.

well, he just switched to ibanez a short time ago right? He's got a stock s7320 and this 2228 so far. maybe he's just trying to figure out what he likes before committing to a full on LACS.?

Simple but gorgeous. Will be interesting to see what he does with it.

^ it will probably be either really high meedly meedlys or really low meedly meedlys. (aka moddly moddlys, which sounds kind of terrible when you type it that way)

^ Really? How can you tell?
It's either a LACS or a LACS re-done RG2228. I've seen a lot of LACS modified guitars in the hands of lower level/newer artists, the former which T-Mac would be.
One of the main reasons I think this is a LACS modified is the bridge choice. In the past the LACS 8s with trems have used a custom "Floyd" style unit, which I believe was a TRS of some type, opposed to an off the shelf Kahler. I know T-Mac used "Floyds" in the past, so if built from the ground up, don't you think he would opt for a "Floyd"?

Maybe he thought kahler's are better now?
That is always a possibility, he is using a ZR as well now (S7320). As soon as better pics are available it'll be easier to tell.
As for it being neck-thru, I held up my RG2228 in the mirror at about the same position as T-Mac has his, and it looks pretty much identical as far as the neck joint goes. Gotta love the ol' AANJ.

Interesting - I wonder if he's going for BEADGBEA.....might be the angle and lighting but that doesn't look like an F#.....
Still, I actually like that. It's not visually amazing but it's a good solid 8 string that I would happily play myself given half a chance

^Nope, 5 wound strings, 3 unwound. F# most likely.

Wow. Interesting to see Tony MacALpine is with Ibanez now.
Also, that he's playing 8-strings now. I'm very much looking forward to his new recording where he's using them.
