The RG8 8-string electric guitar from Ibanez is constructed from a mahogany body with a white gloss finish, and a Wizard II-8 5-piece maple/walnut bolt-on neck with a rosewood fingerboard and white dot inlay. The solid double-cutaway body allows for easy access to the entire fingerboard, and delivers maximum resonance and sustain, which is further enhanced by the fixed bridge. The Wizard II neck is thin, flat and fast, yet strong, and provides unlimited playability for the most demanding player. The IBZ-8 humbucking neck and bridge pickups feature deep and warm tone, but do not become muddy, even in down tuning. Other features include a 3-way pickup selector, and single volume and tone controls.
