The body of the RGDMS8-CSM eight-string guitar is made of exotic nyato wood. The neck is composed of five pieces of maple and walnut with a Wizard III-8 profile, and is fitted with a Makassar ebony fingerboard with twenty-four jumbo frets. The currently popular Multi-scale concept, i.e. fitting the fingerboard with diagonally placed frets, gives the instrument a variable menzaura (648 mm - 692 mm) and optimal tension. In the opinion of some musicians, it also allows a more natural movement of the hand on the fingerboard.
Fishman Fluence Modern Humbucker pickups with ceramic and Alnico magnets give the guitar an aggressive dynamic sound without unwanted accompanying noise. A two-position push/pull voicing switch on the volume knob and a separate coil-tap switch expand the guitar's sonic arsenal with additional sonic positions, including single-coil character.
Tuning stability is guaranteed by the string attachment in Gotoh MG-T locking mechanisms and a mono-rail tailpiece with separate saddles that provide each string with optimal vibration transfer.
Seven, eight, nine-string and multiscale electric guitars are firmly associated with the Ibanez brand. These innovative designs, which over time have become the absolute standard, are brought together by the Ibanez Axe Design Lab series.
