Ibanez RG8EX – 8-String Electric Guitar, Black Flat (RG8EX-BKF)

An extended-range RG built for clarity and tight low end. The RG8EX pairs a fast Wizard II-8 5-piece Maple/Walnut neck with a 27" baritone scale, IBZ-8 humbuckers, and a stable F108 fixed bridge for precise intonation and punchy response across all eight strings.

Key Features

• 27" baritone scale (686 mm): Keeps low strings articulate and in tune under gain.

• Wizard II-8 neck (5-pc Maple/Walnut): Thin, flat, and rigid for fast, controlled playing.

• Meranti body: Balanced, solid platform for modern tones.

• Jatoba fretboard, 24 jumbo frets: Smooth feel with clear mids and crisp highs.

• IBZ-8 ceramic humbuckers (H-H): Tight low end and clear attack for extended range.

• F108 fixed bridge: Individual height setup and strong sustain.

• Mono-unit output jack: Durable one-piece design resists loosening.

• Black Flat finish, black hardware: Clean, stage-ready look.

Why Choose the RG8EX

If you need eight-string clarity without the flub, this RG delivers: long scale for tension, purpose-built pickups that stay defined with high gain, and a stable fixed bridge that makes set-ups straightforward. It’s a reliable, no-nonsense platform for djent, prog, and cinematic low-tuned work.
