Ibanez RGA8 8 String Electric GuitarThe Ibanez RGA8 8 String Electric Guitar not only has hot curves but playability. For live performance, its lightweight body gives players more freedom to prowl around stage. The arched top also lets players to knock down heavy riffs and power chords without hitting the guitar body. All told, curved beauty and great performance combine gracefully and powerfully in the RGA.
The RGA series was introduced to satisfy the demand from players who wanted an RG with a fixed bridge. Ibanez went further and gave these double humbucker beauties an arched top (the A in RGA). The RGA's fixed bridge is distinguished by an extra strong Gibraltar bridge, which stays completely stable under the most aggressive attacks and is excellent handling low tunings. RGA archtops also include a new trem model for 2010.
Ibanez RGA8 Features:
- Thin Wizard II neck
- Arch-topped mahogany bodies for tonal warmth, strong sustain and playing comfort
- Equipped with fat and strong active Ibanez LoZ3 pickups
- All RGA's except RGA32 use an Active EQ circuit with simple-to-operate on-off switch to provide pure tone free of noise
- Gibraltar Standard fixed bridge offers smooth playing comfort and maximum vibration transfer

| Amazing 8 String!!! |
| Quality |
| Would you consider this product to be made well? How dependable? |
| Very well made, Impressed - I own Jackson soloists, ESP M1, Schecter C-7 and Les Paul Custom. This just plays well, maybe it has it's own mojo? |

| Your general opinion of this product. |
| First Ibanez for me and I am very pleased with the fit and finish. The RG came very well set up - obviously AMS did a great job and it was the first I didn't need to immediate change strings and set up. Owning a Schecter C7, the Ibanez just plays better. When you check the specs, this is the thinnest neck around, in fact I felt immediately conformable with the 8 string (more so than the 7)and played for hours. |
| Playability and Feel |
| How does it feel, Heavy, Fast, Chunky? How was the neck? Are the controls easy to get to while playing? |
| the neck is the nicest I have seen on an 8. I really like the unfinished neck. Just fell into my hands action is great and the neck radius is super flat, you at least try one when you are ready |
| Tone |
| Bright and snappy? Dark and smooth? Were the pickups hot, mellow, thick, thin? |
| stock sound somewhat muddy, but passable |
