Ibanez RGMS8PB Multi-scale 8 string - Cosmic Blue Starburst

Ibanez RGMS8PB-CBS – Multi-scale 8-string Electric Guitar

Multi-scale neck for balanced playability

This 8-string electric guitar features a multi-scale neck where each string has a different scale length—longer on the low strings and shorter on the high strings. This provides an even playing feel across the entire range and solves common issues with low-tuned guitars, such as instability on the low strings and difficulty playing the high strings. The neck shape follows the natural angle of the hand, offering ergonomic comfort with minimal adjustment time.

Materials and construction

The body is made of Nyatoh with a Poplar Burl top, giving it a distinctive look. The fretboard is made of Jatoba, contributing clear mids and crisp highs. The neck is a Wizard III 5-piece maple/walnut design with a scale length of 692 mm on the longest string and 648 mm on the shortest.

Hardware and electronics

The bridge features a mono-rail design, where each string has an individual saddle, minimizing interference between strings and enhancing sustain and tuning stability. The pickups are Ibanez Array 8 MS ceramic pickups, designed for low noise and balanced tone at low tunings. The hardware is finished in Cosmo Black.
