Ibanez RG8EX-BKF

RG8EX-BKF (Black Flat) Ibanez electric guitar, 8-string.

Ibanez has been the market leader in 7 and 8 string guitars for many years now:
But they have never been much for sitting back and enjoying their success and for a few years they have also been completely dominant in 8 string guitars. Probably not completely without a feeling of great gratitude to our Swedish metal pioneers Meshuggah.

The RG8EX is an 8-string model in the Ibanez Standard series. A guitar that works for far more than just low riffs that make your pants flutter.

The guitar has a 5-piece Wizard II-8 neck made of maple and walnut. The neck is a 685.8mm/27" scale, long enough for the low notes to be firm and stable but not so long that it feels like playing bass. The
body is made of meranti (mahogany) and the smooth frequency response also makes it very suitable for distorted sounds, it glues the sound together nicely without being scattered or unclear.

The modes you can access on the switch are.
1. Stall mic in series*
2. Stall mic + neck mic connected in series.
3. Neck pickup in series*

* Series, both coils of the pickup are connected in series one after the other and the pickup gives as much output and power as it is designed for. If you read about the microphone on the manufacturer's website, this is the mode that is described. The mic is then hum-extinguishing and completely silent.
