The Ibanez RGIM8MH Multi-scale 8-string is meticulously designed to deliver exceptional performance, boasting a unique fretboard and compensated pickup and hardware configuration that ensures outstanding playing comfort and precise intonation across the entire neck. Constructed with a mahogany body, this guitar produces warm tones with ample cut and sustain. Its Mono-rail bridge allows for independent string vibration, while a pair of active EMG 909 humbuckers delivers the aggressive distortion demanded by metal enthusiasts. While many guitars can handle metal, the Ibanez Iron Label RGIM8MH is specifically engineered for it.
Tailored for metal genres, the Iron Label RGIM8MH continues Ibanez's legacy of producing heavy-duty guitars, incorporating a multi-scale fret design for enhanced down-tuned performance without compromising clarity on higher strings. Equipped with active EMG 909 humbucking pickups and featuring a Nitro Wizard-8 contour neck with a 5-piece maple/bubinga construction, this guitar ensures tight, aggressive distortion and swift playability.
Multi-scale frets, a recent innovation in guitar design, offer improved comfort, tension, and tone, particularly suitable for down-tuned and technical playing styles. The extended scale length on the bass side enhances intonation and adds depth to low-end tones, while the shorter scale on the treble side maintains familiarity for clear single-string performance. Despite initial apprehensions, transitioning to multi-scale frets has been found to be a natural adjustment by guitarists at Sweetwater.
Delivering a searing tone, the active EMG 909 humbuckers on the RGIM8MH are renowned for their high-output and clarity, favored by iconic metal players for decades. Ibanez's choice of 9-string pickups compensates for their offset installation, providing a balanced response and articulate clean tones, ideal for cutting through dense mixes.
