User questions & answers

Question:	Whichis the size of fretwarps for this guitar? M or L
Answer:	You're looking at a large to XL for a fretwrap.
Question:	What would be a good combo amp (tube or solid state) to go with this guitar, considering the lowest frequencies could blow a regular amp speaker
Answer:	It's up to you with what sound you want. I just a tube Ampgeg Reverbrocket, great for jazz or with a distortion works good. I don't think the low frequancies of the guitar wouldnt do any damage to the speakers, I believe it is more the level of output from the amp and going through speakers would do damage, like 150 watts through a speaker rated at 30watts. There is plenty of low end from this guitar, I was going to run both a guitar amp and a bass amp with this guitar but no need for that. Also if you're playing with a bassist, be careful with frequancies and bumbling the bass and the 8's low end. So maybe less low end may be good.
Question:	Will a symour Duncan 8 string black winter pickup fit in tho guitar
Answer:	Yes, i have ibanez rg8 fm, and mounting seymour duncan, is exactly the position, and the sound is amazing
Question:	Can u tune to e standard on this guitar or is the scale length to long and if so with waht string gauge
Answer:	You can tune to standard but those two lower string will be F# and B which for the octaves they are the std tuning notes. then from there E,A,D etc.

User questions & answers

Question:	Can you put a floyd rose in it
Answer:	No. The body would need a cut out to go forward and back with a floyd rose.
Question:	Does it gave a tremolo bar
Answer:	No, this does not use a tremolo(Whammy) bar.
Question:	how good is the quality? just as good as the average Ibanez
Answer:	Very good quality for the price. Much nicer than I thought it would be. The only thing I would say is it goes out of tune faster than a full size guitar, but I think that is a typical issue with 3/4 size guitars. After I put some new thinner Guage strings on it stays in tune much better. Very nice guitar!
Question:	year old female,small hands most likely will use this guitar for rocksmith 2014, is this small for kids? Or can Adults used this too
Answer:	I'm a 5'8 male, and while the highest frets can be a bit crowded for me, I find it more enjoyable to play the lower frets than on my 25.5 inch scale schecter. Overall, it's a fun, fast, usable guitar at a great price.

User questions & answers

Question:	Will a musiclily pro 54mm guitar double locking tremolo fit this guitar
Answer:	In order to install any full floating tremolo into this guitar, you'd need to route the back and top of the guitar to fit it. This is a bit labor intensive and not recommended, but it is possible. If you wanted to install it without doing any wood working, it would not be possible.

Answer:	Yes, any Ibanez electric guitar bought new from an authorized dealer in the USA carries a 1 year warranty. For more details on the warranty check www.ibanez.com

Question:	Is the body basswood or poplar
Answer:	According to the Ibanez website, this is made of Basswood in the body.

User questions & answers

Question:	When will this be available in another color
Answer:	I personally love playing on G# (Ab) so I would definitely recommend getting string gauges 80-15 if you want to play on the same tuning I like but they’ll do just fine if you want to play on A. By the way if you like Meshuggah and know their songs you should buy string gauges 85-15 and tune super low on F and there you got yourself some serious metal mayhem. I hope I was able to help 🤘🏻
Question:	What are the recommended tuning limits? i would like to play things from b drop a to e standard. i can go without e stnd, i just want my low tunes
Answer:	Yes it comes with strings. I bought for my fiance for his birthday as he is an avid guitar player, he absolutely loves it! He plays it all the time.
Question:	Does it come with strings
Answer:	Its a three way switch
Question:	hello, is there coil splitting via 5 way switch

User questions & answers

Question:	What does the black sunburst come with
Answer:	No, I didn’t get one with it
Question:	Does it come with a case
Answer:	Unfortunately no. This is a completely fixed bridge that doesn't use a whammy bar. Tremolo systems that use a whammy bar are a little more complicated and require a larger cavity in the back of the instrument for spring tension, so you typically can't add a whammy bar to a guitar that isn't configured to take one already. Hope this helps!
Question:	Can i install a whammy bar into the bridge
Answer:	24th fret access is excellent and smooth.
Question:	How good is the access to the 24th fret? Will I have to curl my hand a lot or is it smoother
Answer:	One week and the only other color is metallic blue.
