Ibanez RG-8

[rivera213]

Is there any possibilty of Ibanez bringing out a RG-8 in the vein of Rusty Cooley's custom guitar with 1 added low string (B) & 1 added high string (A) & with an Ebony fretboard & equipped with EMG-81/8 Pickups?

Ibanez did show a RG-8 prototype at NAMM this year. Had an Edge FX-8. So they might release a RG-8 at some point.

Oh cool!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I'm not really a fan of an 8 string with 2 low strings. It sounds too dirgy for my liking, plus i like the balance of 1 added of each.

Have you got any pictures of it?

Its pretty cool.

There are a few things wrong with it, but if they've done a prototype, they obviously would've considered other options for it.

I might just nick Cooley's!!!!!!!!!!!- http://rustycooley.com/images/gear/ibenaz8_4.jpg
