Key Features
The Ibanez RGIM8MH Iron Label 8 String 2018, Weathered Black is an all out metal guitar designed for speed, strength and comfort. The RGIM8MH features a super-slim Nitro Wizard Multi Scale neck that provides comfort and solid stability for increased tension of the extra strings, resulting in a more 'alive', open tone, and allowing you to shred with ease. The multi-scale frets are designed ergonomically to coordinate with the way your hand angles as it moves up and down the neck, making it much easier to play. The EMG pickups are proven performers for down-tuning, offering high-responsiveness and a super-tight growl. The mahogany body offers a warm tone, which serves up plenty of cut and sustain, whilst the mono-rail bridge offers the ultimate in string-to-string isolation, so that each string vibrates optimally.

The Ibanez RGIM8MH is designed for metal, offering effortless speedy playability and a chunky, warm tone. It features a super-slim, ultra-comfortable Nitro Wizard Multi Scale neck that sits comfortably in your hand, and also provides solid stability for the extra strings. The mono-rail bridge offers superior string-to-string isolation so that each string vibrates optimally without being affected by each other.
The multi-scale frets are aimed at down-tuned and technical playing. The equalised tension helps to create a more 'alive', open tone, whilst also providing comfort. Its construction ergonomically coordinates with the way your hand angles when it moves up and down the neck of the guitar. The increased tension of the multi-scale frets improves your overall tone.
The guitar features an dark black finish that is sure to get you noticed. With a body constructed from mahogany, the guitar produces tones that are exceptionally balanced and offer plenty of depth. The fretboard offers a 400mmR radius, which sits comfortably in your hand and allows for smooth position shifting.
The Ibanez RGIM8MH is equipped with EMG 909X pickups that have been designed for a multi-scale construction instrument. They offer a quick response, and a super-tight growl with an incredible down-tuned beefy punch that cuts through the mix. The EMG pickups give you the tone, presence and dynamics needed for an 8 string guitar, eliminating the problem of the muddy low-tuned strings.
Over the past 30 years, Ibanez have always been at the forefront of developing the right tools for Electric Guitar and Bass players, pushing the boundaries of music. For decades, Ibanez designers and luthiers have been the embodiment of this ideology, pushing their skills to the edge of imagination, consistently creating some of the most versatile and unique instruments ever. Although Ibanez guitars and basses have been made since 1908, it wasn't until the late 1980’s that they began to form an identity for themselves when artists such as Steve Vai and Frank Zappa began using their instruments. Now with a huge artist clientele across the globe Ibanez are a leading manufacturer of electric guitars and basses and a first choice for many dedicated musicians.
