Ibanez RGDMS8 RG, Classic Silver Matte

Full Description

The majestic multi-scale

Designed to push extended-range performance even further, the RGDMS8 features a multi-scale 25.5"–27.3" fretboard for improved comfort, intonation and tonal balance. The fanned fret design follows the natural angle of your hand, creating a more ergonomic playing experience across all eight strings. Longer bass-side scale lengths tighten the low-end response, while the shorter treble-side scale maintains a smooth, expressive feel for leads and chords.

The result is a guitar that excels in low tunings, delivering greater clarity, definition and articulation where conventional scale lengths can struggle. Whether you're playing intricate progressive passages or crushing modern metal riffs, the multi-scale design helps every note speak with precision.

Fishman Fluence Modern power

Equipped with a Fishman Fluence Modern Humbucker Alnico neck pickup and Fluence Modern Humbucker Ceramic bridge pickup, the RGDMS8 delivers the aggressive attack and clarity demanded by contemporary metal players. These active pickups remain articulate under extreme gain, preserving note separation and detail even in the most complex arrangements.

With Fishman's Fluence voicing technology, you can switch between powerful modern active tones and a cleaner, more fluid alternative voice using the push/pull volume control. Combined with the coil-tap switch, this opens up a wide range of sounds, from crushing rhythm tones to more nuanced cleans and dynamic lead voices.

Lightning-fast Wizard III-8 neck

Built for speed, the Wizard III-8 neck offers the slim profile and effortless feel that Ibanez players have come to expect. Constructed from five pieces of maple and walnut, it delivers excellent stability while maintaining a comfortable playing experience across its full two-octave range.

The fast-playing design makes technical passages, sweeping arpeggios and rapid-fire riffs feel natural under the fingers. Combined with the extended-range layout, it provides the confidence and control needed for demanding modern playing styles.

Macassar ebony precision

The Macassar ebony fretboard adds a premium touch to both the look and feel of the instrument. Known for its tight low end, strong attack and quick response, it complements the guitar's aggressive character while enhancing note definition across the frequency spectrum.

Its smooth playing surface encourages effortless movement up and down the neck, while the 24 jumbo frets provide plenty of room for expressive bends, technical solos and extended-range exploration.

Built for performance

Premium hardware ensures the RGDMS8 performs as reliably as it sounds. The Mono-Rail bridge isolates each string to reduce interference and improve sustain, while delivering excellent intonation across the multi-scale layout.

Gotoh MG-T locking machine heads enhance tuning stability and make string changes fast and straightforward. Combined with the robust construction and high-performance electronics, the RGDMS8 is ready for the studio, stage and everything in between.
