Dino custom 8 string Ibanez?

Wound · #1 10-21-2005, 10:35 AM

Has anyone got the new Roadrunner United album?
In the album booklet there is a pic of Dino holding an 8 string guitar, which looks like an Ibanez, and I'm guessing it is since he never plays anything else. Has anyone heard anything about this? I know on the dvd of the makin of this album he used an Asesino 7 string Ibanez, maybe this is something new for a new project. I'm just wondering about the specs on this...like has he gotten custom 8 string 707's? The pic is tiny so you can't really make anything out...just wondering if anyone knew anything about this?

Looks awesome!!

What's also interresting...someone pointed out on the mesh forum that this is accually a prestige Ibanez...doesn't say custom...I donno if this is normal for a custom, but hopin maybe it'll b released to the public :-D

Looks... small, like it has a standard scale...

too plain for me tho, matte gray, no inlays...

I find its "simplistic" design really cool. I love the look of it - but what does Dino Cazares need an eight-string for? He barely uses more than the bottom four - just get a baritone 7, or maybe even a six.

found this publicity shot of dino with his prototype 12-string:

now that is serious metal! he's even smiling in this one.

Oh my God. That picture makes his legs look even shorter.

URGH!!! IM HYPERVENTILATING!!!!! is ibanez gunna bring out a 8 string??? oh god!!! now i have to start saving!!!! holy craperoonies!!!

ive also noticed that it has a LO Pro TREM, wich i can remember people debating wether it would work or not, i think this means yes... but why would dino need a trem? as far as i know he blocks his and ive never heard him solo...

^^ Says here that the only reason Dino wants a trem is for the fine tuners. http://www.ibanezregister.com/Galler...-prestige8.htm

But seriously, this looks awesome. I hope Ibanez actually realeases it, I would prefer a fixed bridge but would definetely grab one either way.
