This High-octane RGD Was Made for Modern Metal Looking for the ultimate modern metal machine? Your search stops at the Ibanez Axe Design Lab RGDMS8. Built around an ultra-comfortable nyatoh body, this multi-scale 8-string behemoth is as metal as it gets. Imagine tearing through your most furious leads and riffs with nothing to stand in your way. That's exactly how the RGDMS8's 5-piece Wizard III-8 and 24-fret Macassar ebony fingerboard feel, and its multi-scale design brings new meaning to the word "ergonomic." You'll benefit from a massive smorgasbord of high-octane tones, thanks to Fishman Fluence Modern humbuckers, with zero added noise and a coil-tap switch thrown in for good measure. You also get a Mono-rail hardtail bridge, which yields optimal vibration transfer and maximum playing comfort — an essential for players who employ copious amounts of palm-muted chugging. The RGDMS8 also includes Gotoh locking tuners and a head-turning satin finish.
