Ibanez RGMS8 BK 8-String Multi-Scale Electric Guitar Black

Extended-range clarity with balanced tension and modern feel

The Ibanez RGMS8 is designed for players who need control and definition across a full eight-string range. Its multi-scale construction runs from 27.2 to 25.5 inches, keeping the lowest strings tight and articulate while preserving a familiar feel on the higher strings. The Wizard III eight-string neck is slim and fast, making wide intervals, technical riffs, and extended chords feel precise rather than cumbersome.

A nyatoh body adds focused mid-low weight that supports heavy tones without sounding loose, while the Jatoba fretboard brings a crisp attack and clear note separation. Array 8 MS passive ceramic pickups are voiced for down-tuning, delivering a tight, low-noise response that holds together under high gain. The mono-rail bridge design improves sustain and string-to-string definition, and the simple control layout with five-way switching keeps tone shaping direct and practical.

At Riffs & Licks Music, we think the RGMS8 is an excellent platform for modern metal and progressive players who want extended range without losing playability.
