The neck isn't just part of the RGIT28FE 8-string solidbody electric, It's the heart of this guitar. The neck feel and playability can make or break an otherwise great instrument. The Ibanez RGIT28FE 8-string incorporates a 7-piece maple/walnut neck that offers you killer stability, playability, and tone. Ibanez guitars have long been known for their fast-playing and comfortable necks. Not satisfied to just attach the neck to the RGIT28FE, Ibanez utilized neck-through construction, which gives you better vibrational and tonal transfer through out the entire instrument. Lightweight ash body wings and an ebony fretboard complete the picture making the RGIT28FE 8-string solidbody electric a prog rock dream machine!

While you may expect to see a vibrato tailpiece on an Ibanez RG, the RGIT28FE 8-string electric guitar sports a Gibraltar Standard II-8 fixed bridge - a dream come true if you prefer a hardtail axe. The Gibraltar has an ultra-low profile that gives you outstanding comfort, with the exceptional stability and reliability you can only get from a fixed bridge. If you've always wanted an RG-series guitar, but prefer not to mess with a floating bridge, the Ibanez RGIT28FE 8-string electric guitar was made just for you.

The Ibanez RGIT28FE 8-string electric guitar is fitted with a pair of hot EMG 808 active humbuckers in the neck and bridge positions. Ask any Sweetwater guitar player - there's a reason top prog and metal guitarists use active pickups: they rock - hard. Whether you're playing shimmering chords, cascading single-note runs, or cranking out palm-muted chugs, you'll be absolutely delighted when you hear yourself through this active pickup. Your low B will amaze you, and the overall super-tight responsiveness will inspire you. In either the neck or the bridge position, the EMG 707 unleashes the raw power of your 8-string guitar.
