SERENDIPITY Mr. Yash!!! I was just about to make a post about Ibby guitars that would fit your description There are several but what came to mind first is the 2002, neck through body Prestige series with dual humbuckers (althought without shark fin inlay). They feature killer necks and since it's neck through body, they have great sustain and resonance. To wit!!
Or you could go for the 2009 RGT series with neck through and shark fin inlay. The two on the far left in this pic. The black one and white one. I've always wanted the white one with the maple neck Here is more info on the IBBY WIKI http://ibanez.wikia.com/wiki/RGT42DX This post has been edited by Todd Simpson: Nov 15 2014, 05:16 PM |

At the time you couldn't have bought one as they were not available yet And as far as I know they are STILL not available so you don't have anything to beat yourself up about!! God only knows when they will actually release them here in the states. The ONLY way I know to get one right now is to use ebay have have it imported from JAPAN!!!!!
http://www.ebay.com/itm/Ibanez-Iron-Label-...d-/301683038278 So yeah, these are as rare as "hens teeth" as they say here Maybe someday they will show up in the wild. Then again, maybe they are already in Europe? Have you actually seen one? But yeah, I'd LOVE one of the fanned 8 strings!!! IMHO 8 string guitars without fanned frets are simply not expressive instruments. I"ve got a very nice Strictly 7, 8 String and it RAWKS and DJENTS but it's not really that expressive simply due to the insane scale length and string tension. Thus, why you hear bands that use 8s being typified by chug. Not in all cases of course, and there are plenty of exceptions that make the rule not break the rule but still I'm still kinda regretting I didn't wait and buy a fanned frets 8 string Ibanez instead of the one I got, though I'm pretty pleased with my guitar, mind you, I'd love to try an FF.

Todd,
On an RG1570 with standard V7 S7 and V8 pickups, how far should each pickup be from the strings? Cheers buddy. -------------------- SEE MY GMC CERTIFICATE “Success is not obtained overnight.

Thanks Todd,
It's just that a while back in one of my lessons Kris said that maybe the pickups were too close and killing sustain so I thought I'd ask Cheers -------------------- SEE MY GMC CERTIFICATE “Success is not obtained overnight.

That's always a concern to be sure IF they are too close, actually nearly touching the strings, they will reduce string vibration/sustain. However, if you keep them about like I've got in the picture it should be fine. Usually it's a issue with a noise gate or something killing sustain. What was your noise gate during the recording? Plugin?
Thanks Todd, It's just that a while back in one of my lessons Kris said that maybe the pickups were too close and killing sustain so I thought I'd ask Cheers Don't forget guys that you can just type in your serial number (back of your headstock) on your Ibanez or any Ibanez you are thinking of buying ( you can use this on your phone as well) and find out what vintage it is and if it's really made in japan, etc. Here is my result Guitar Info Your guitar was made at the Fuji-gen Plant, Japan 1991 Production Number: 24754 Fuji String Instrument Production Corporation Fuji String Instrument Production Corporation was opened in may 1960, they initially started manufacturing violins and quickly switched to classical guitar production. In 1962 electric guitar construction was started. Fujigen has a reputation for excellent quality and craftsmanship so the guitars they produce are highly regarded. They produce guitars via OEM for famous brands such as Ibanez, Epiphone, Yamaha and Fender (the import Special Interest Group nature model), G&L and others. IDENTIFY YOUR IBBY!!!

Recently I've been using the Slash one in Amplitude exactly as it comes out of the box, I don't mess -------------------- SEE MY GMC CERTIFICATE “Success is not obtained overnight.

Look for the noise gate knob if you can That one thing can kill all your sustain! Yeah I know that mate, never use it. I think it was more a technique thing as it was sustain on a bend that was dropping. Cheers buddy -------------------- SEE MY GMC CERTIFICATE “Success is not obtained overnight.
