Ibanez M80M-WK

Endless sustain is yours courtesy of the M80M Meshuggah Signature's five-piece neck, which runs through the body for maximum tonal impact. And it sports the FX Edge III-8 bridge, a double-locking design that was specifically created for Ibanez's eight-string axes. If you want to shred like Marten Hagstrom and Fredrik Thordendal from Meshuggah, your weapon of choice should be the Ibanez M80M Meshuggah Signature eight-string guitar.

The Ibanez M80M Meshuggah Signature packs a five-piece maple/walnut neck with a 29.4" scale length and KTS titanium reinforcement rods, so you can already tell it's primed for down-tuned metal mayhem. But this ultra-rigid neck actually runs through the length of the body, giving you epic sustain and exceptional attack. Best of all, the M80M Meshuggah Signature's frets have received Ibanez's Prestige Edge Treatment, which rounds their ends off so smoothly you'll barely know they're there. In other words, you can shred all night without actually shredding your hands.

Consider that an eight-string guitar's output has a very wide tonal range, and you'll see why Ibanez started from scratch with the M80M Meshuggah Signature's single humbucker. They worked with Lundgren to create a lower-output pickup that will hit your amplifier with brutal authority. The lower output helps capture the full range of the M80M Meshuggah Signature, which means that you're driving your amp with a well-balanced tone that's pounding, punchy, and clear.

Even guitars with fixed tailpieces can lose their tuning during a full metal assault, requiring you to re-tune many times throughout a gig. That's why Ibanez added the double-locking FX Edge III-8 bridge to the M80M Meshuggah Signature, which was designed by Ibanez specifically for their ultra-aggressive eight-string guitars. Lock in your tuning at the start of the gig, and you may not have to touch it again during your whole set.
