Ibanez Axe Design Lab RGDMS8-CSM

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

- The RGD-shaped body, 27.2-25.5 multi-scale, and uniform tension across all 8 strings allow for playing with a comfortable tension feel, producing a focused, deep bass sound without a blurred tone.
The cutaway is more deeply recessed than on the RG model, further enhancing playability in the higher positions.

- While the Wizard series features a thinner neck designed for ease of playing, the Wizard III-8 neck shape is designed to provide a more natural sound and higher strength, and is constructed using a 5-piece combination of maple and walnut wood.

- Featuring Fishman Fluence Modern Humbucker pickups with a voicing switch, you can choose between Modern Active High Output mode (Voice 1), which delivers a crisp, biting crunch and a pure, tight bass with a modern growl, and Modern Passive Attack mode (Voice 2), which offers an organic, high-output tone with excellent distortion character, Fluence's signature dynamics, and responsiveness.
It features a 9-string size to accommodate multi-scale configurations. Uses a 006P battery.

- The monorail bridge features an independent structure for each string, directly transmitting string vibrations to the body and resulting in a natural body resonance and rich harmonics.
This bridge offers a wide range of fore-aft adjustment for the saddle, providing a broad setup range.

- Equipped with Gotoh MG-T locking machine heads, known for their ease of string changes and tuning stability.
The design allows you to easily lock the strings through the post holes by turning a dial with your finger.

◆What is "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.
