There is a new 8 string guitar from Ibanez that only runs about $399 and I've just got to try one and make a video review.

ANYBODY PLAYED ONE OF THESE?

Yes, please review. I am leery about models this low priced. Is it still good quality, is what I want to know.

I'm gonna get one of these in 2013 and I"ll let you guys know as soon as I"ve got a video review up! The pickups are evidently not the best in the world, but that's easy to fix with new pickups smile.gif Then again, the pickups in my ancient RG560 are not exactly "High End" or active or anything like that and they still work well for the guitar.

I haven't had the chance to play one yet, but I hear great things from my friends. They seem to be great guitars for the price!

On a related note, I bought the 7 string equivalent of this (Ibanez RG7321, $400, also the "budget" model line) and ended up loving it! I bought Bareknuckle Cold Sweats for it and it's now my best sounding guitar, hands down.

Just mention it because if you find an RG8 that plays really well and looks good, replace the pickups and you could have a killer guitar on your hands!

Those cold sweat pickups are THE THING biggrin.gif one of the guys in my band owns a very cheap Ibanez baritone guitar he bought for about 320 bucks on Ebay. He strapped a BK Coldsweat bridge pickup and BLAM! Instant crushing tone! biggrin.gif

The 7321 is a GREAT way to get in to 7 string nuttiness! I have a 7320 and I LOVE it!!! You can find the 7320 on ebay, used for around 3 or 4 hundred if you ever decided to upgrade. It mostly adds a locking trem. The other bits are different, but the trim is maybe the BIG difference.

The guys at BARE KNUCKL PICKUPS make some killer stuff! For you guys who haven't heard of them yet, check them out. Their web site has sounds samples and such. They will add new life to any guitar smile.gif

Yesterday, I ordered this Ibanez RG8 from Guitar Center! smile.gif I got the black one because I didn't want a guitar that had two colors (white body and black headstock). Besides, black looks so mean!! Excited!
