{"product_id":"b-stock-el-guitar-rg-8st-rg8wh-factory-flaw-by-pickup-selector","title":"Ibanez RG8 8-String Electric Guitar White B-Stock","description":"\u003ch2\u003eEight Strings, One Seriously Fast Neck\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMaybe you've been itching to drop into that low F# territory. Maybe you want chord voicings that just don't exist on a six-string. Or maybe you just want to hear what happens when a tried-and-true RG body shape gets two extra strings and a 27-inch scale. Whatever brought you here, the Ibanez RG8 in White is ready to deliver.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe RG8 is part of Ibanez's long-running RG Standard series — a line that's been a staple of the metal and hard rock world for decades. This is a solidbody 8-string with a Meranti body, a five-piece Maple\/Walnut Wizard II-8 neck, and a Jatoba fretboard with 24 jumbo frets. It ships from the factory set to a drop-D# tuning, but the extended scale and fixed bridge make it equally comfortable for standard 8-string tunings or anything in between.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis is a great pick for the guitarist who wants to explore extended-range playing without jumping into boutique territory. The RG8 keeps the familiar RG double-cutaway form factor while expanding the tonal palette well into bass-register territory.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThis item is a B-Stock guitar sourced directly from the manufacturer. It is new and has never been previously owned. The photos shown are of the exact instrument you will receive. Before shipment, our licensed technician will inspect and professionally set up the guitar to ensure it is playing its best. During our inspection, we noticed Factory flaw by pickup selector. (see pictures) Please note, these may not be the only cosmetic imperfections. As a B-Stock instrument, there may be additional minor blemishes that are small in nature and do not affect playability or performance.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eThe Wizard II-8 Neck: Built for Speed Across All Eight Strings\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Wizard neck has been Ibanez's signature calling card for fast, low-action playing for generations, and the Wizard II-8 brings that same philosophy to an 8-string format. The five-piece Maple\/Walnut construction keeps the neck stiff and stable — important on a 27-inch scale where tension runs higher than your typical six-string. The neck attaches via a bolt-on joint and carries a satin polyurethane finish for a smooth, broken-in feel right out of the box.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Jatoba fretboard spans a 15.75-inch (400mm) radius — on the flatter side, which players who do a lot of bending tend to appreciate. At the nut, the neck measures 55mm wide, expanding to 80mm at the 24th fret, with a thickness of 20mm at the first fret and 21.5mm at the 12th. The 10.5mm string spacing keeps things manageable even for players transitioning from a six- or seven-string.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eMeranti Body and the F108 Fixed Bridge\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe solidbody Meranti construction gives the RG8 a balanced tonal character — responsive across the full string range without getting muddy on those low notes. The double-cutaway RG body shape keeps upper-fret access open all the way to fret 24, which matters when you're 8 strings into a riff and need to reach the top of the neck.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe F108 fixed bridge is strung through the body, which contributes to sustain and tuning stability. Individual saddles make intonation adjustments straightforward, and with the 27-inch scale doing its part to keep string tension consistent, the whole setup stays reliably in tune — even with the factory drop tuning of 1D#, 2A#, 3F#, 4C#, 5G#, 6D#, 7A#, 8F.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eIBZ-8 Humbuckers: Wired for the Low End\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBoth pickup positions use Ibanez's IBZ-8 humbuckers in a passive ceramic configuration — one at the neck, one at the bridge. These are designed specifically for 8-string frequency response, meaning they're voiced to stay clear and articulate on the lowest strings rather than turning to mush under high gain. A 3-way pickup selector, single master volume, and master tone keep the control layout simple and intuitive.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe hardware throughout is finished in black, which pairs cleanly with the white gloss body. Ibanez die-cast tuning machines handle tuning stability on all eight posts.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eProduct Features:\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eBody: Solidbody Meranti, double-cutaway RG shape, white gloss finish\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eNeck: Wizard II-8 5-piece Maple\/Walnut, bolt-on, satin finish\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eFretboard: Jatoba with white dot inlays, 15.75\" (400mm) radius, 24 jumbo frets\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eScale Length: 27\" (686mm) — extended scale for tighter low-string tension\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eNut: Plastic, 55mm width\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003ePickups: IBZ-8 (H) passive ceramic humbucker at neck and bridge\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eControls: Master volume, master tone, 3-way pickup selector\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eBridge: F108 fixed bridge with 10.5mm string spacing and individual saddles\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eHardware: Black hardware throughout, Ibanez die-cast tuning machines\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eFactory Tuning: 1D#, 2A#, 3F#, 4C#, 5G#, 6D#, 7A#, 8F\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBrand:\u003c\/strong\u003e Ibanez\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eModel:\u003c\/strong\u003e RG8WH\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSKU:\u003c\/strong\u003e RG8WH-2ND|I251110083\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCondition:\u003c\/strong\u003e B-Stock\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eSince 1872, C.A.
