Japan’s world-renowned craftsmanship and rigorous quality control.

From the Ibanez “Prestige Series”—which enjoys overwhelming support from professionals both in Japan and abroad—the long-awaited 8-string RG, with its stylish yet aggressive look, has finally arrived!

The black-and-white open-pore finish, combined with the ash grain, makes for a truly beautiful instrument!

Despite using the heavy ash wood, the weight is just 4.44 kg, and combined with the thin body and neck, this guitar is a joy to play!

[Specifications]

・Unparalleled rigidity and supreme playability: Wizard-8 Neck

For the neck—the lifeblood of a multi-string guitar—we’ve adopted a 5-piece Wizard-8 neck combining maple and wenge.

Despite its ultra-thin profile, it delivers overwhelming strength that withstands the intense tension of multiple strings, while also producing a natural, resonant tone!

Furthermore, the jumbo stainless steel frets—featuring the “Prestige Fret Edge Treatment” (spherical fret edge profiling) unique to the Prestige Series—enable stress-free, smooth fingering!

・Ash Body & Rosewood Fingerboard

The body is crafted from ash, known for its clear projection and well-defined tone.

The open-pore finish highlights the ash’s distinctive, powerful grain by filling the pores with white pigment!

Furthermore, the white binding around the body’s perimeter sharpens the overall silhouette, further enhancing its striking visual presence!

Paired with the warm tone of the rosewood fingerboard, it produces a superb sound that is tight yet incredibly pleasing to the ear.

・From intense riffs to beautiful clean tones: DiMarzio Fusion Edge 8 & Coil Tap

The guitar features a combination of DiMarzio Fusion Edge 8 pickups, which have earned immense trust in the modern metal scene.

Notably, they offer rich high-end response reminiscent of single-coil pickups and just the right amount of output power to cut through the mix!

It also features a coil-tap function via a mini-switch, boasting an astonishing range of sound variations—from the tight, aggressive chugging characteristic of djent to ambient clean tones and progressive solo work—all covered by a single guitar!

・Player-First Hardware

Gibraltar Standard III-8 Bridge: The low-profile design prevents your hand from hitting the bridge during aggressive picking, ensuring a stress-free playing experience. It also offers a wide range of adjustment, allowing for flexible fine-tuning to suit your personal preferences!

Gotoh MG-T Locking Machine Heads: Simply turn the dial with your fingertips to lock the strings in place.

This dramatically speeds up the often tedious process of changing strings on an 8-string guitar and helps maintain stable tuning!

Luminlay (Phosphorescent) Side Dots: Instantly see your position even on a darkened stage.

It makes a world of difference in terms of confidence during live performances!

The overwhelming low-end punch produced by the 27-inch scale, combined with the ultra-fast attack provided by stainless steel frets and an ash body, is simply breathtaking!

There’s absolutely no “muddy” sound typical of multi-string guitars—even during chord work, strings 1 through 8 resonate with beautiful clarity!

Crafted without compromise in looks, sound, and playability, this is a truly ready-to-play, cool instrument!

Don’t miss out on this opportunity!
