Ibanez Ax Design Lab RGDMS8-CSM (Classic Silver Matte)

Fishman pickup-equipped RGD multi-scale 8-string model


◆RGD-shaped body, 27.2-25.5 multi-scale, and 8 strings provide uniform tension to each string, enabling playing with a moderate tension feel and producing a deep bass sound with a clear, focused tone without blurring the sound image.
The cutaway is more deeply recessed than on the RG model, further enhancing playability in the higher positions.

◆Wizard III 5pc Maple/Walnut neck
This guitar features a thin neck shape designed for ease of playing. To achieve a natural sound and high strength, it's constructed from a 5-piece combination of maple and walnut wood.

◆RGD Body
The cutaway is more deeply recessed than on the RG model, further enhancing playability in the higher positions.

◆Macassar Ebony fretboard
It uses Makassar ebony wood, which is hard like ebony wood and has excellent sound projection.

◆Fishman Fluence Modern Humbucker Alnico / Fluence Modern Humbucker Ceramic pickups
It features a Fishman Fluence Modern Humbucker pickup with a Fishman Fluence Voicing switch that allows you to select different sound modes (uses a 006P alkaline battery).

◆Gotoh MG-T locking machine heads
Designed for ease of string changes, it features Gotoh MG-T locking machine heads, renowned for their tuning stability. The strings can be easily locked in place by turning a dial with your finger.

◆Mono-rail Bridge
By using an independent structure for each string, string vibrations are transmitted directly to the body, resulting in a natural body resonance and rich harmonics. The bridge has a wide range of adjustment for the front and back of the saddle, allowing for a wide range of setup options.

【Axe Design Lab】
The reason Ibanez remains committed to being "innovative," "cutting-edge," and "pioneering" is because Ibanez has made it its mission to "maximize the creativity and performance of players of each era."

Regardless of skill level or years of experience, every player inevitably experiences hardship, worries, and sometimes hits a major wall. Ibanez aspires to be a "solution-oriented" gear that stands by and supports all challengers known as players, helping them overcome these challenges together.
To achieve this, we are willing to create cutting-edge guitars that are exciting, unconventional, and sometimes even considered unbalanced—guitars that no one could have predicted.

It's all for the players and their music who are living in the present.
Axe Design Lab is a new series that embodies Ibanez's brand identity.
