Ibanez 8-string guitar?

Anybody have pics or know where to find them of this fabled guitar? People keep saying that Meshuggah & other bands use them but ive never seen one. On Meshuggah.net it says they use 7 & 8 string Ibanezs.

nah i dont rili hate ibanez.
i didnt like my rg3120 that much (mainly cuz the pu's and the trem), but my 7 string was damn nice, although i prefer a jackson neck.


but seriously a 8 string guitar (i mean every 8 string ive ever seen) looks like shit, the guy loks like shit aswell, so i compared them

Leave poor dino alone
He gets plenty stick, he's a pretty cool guitar player for what he does.
I heard Ibanez have to stick two trems together to make the 8 string version or something like that, coz it would cost too much to get a mold built then only have like a few guys wanting to buy these 8 strings.

I thought Meshuggah used some other brand of 8 string. At least for Nothing. I thought it was some small company/luthier. This may have been a few months ago...
30" scale and 8 strings...we bassists have to handle worse than that. Try 36" and this :

There's a thread in the Bass Zone with tons of pics of awesomely weird basses... like 2-strings, assloads of 8-strings, a 10 string, a bass that looks like a cock, and an 8 string with 40 frets. No shit, take a look.

Does Ibanez plan on releasing the 8-string to the public? Not that I would ever need to tune that low, but it would be interesting to try that guitar...

Off topic:

I have a pic somewhere of me holding a double neck 8 string bass...Weighed 22lbs. It belongs to this guy who has about 10 or 15 7+ string basses (Conklins).

I really wish it did'nt have a trem. I mean I love trems, I have them on 95% of my guitars. But there must be so much fucking tension on this guitar. Plus what string gauge would you use?

I don't think Ibanez is releasing it. It's probably just custom. There has not been anything on the Ibanez site about it.

I would probably never buy one but I would try it out.

here's a kik-ass site

Conklinguitars.com they have alot of 7strings , 8-strings and a pic of a
9-string they build. and they built a 36 fret and the fan design is bad-ass. their the people that designed the first 8-string that meshuggah used and designed the pickups for meshuggah's 7 and 8 strings. the (M-series pickup) i think but now i think meshuggah use all ibanez. i've been trying to buy one from ibanez but i can't find a ibanez custom shop that will build a left-handed version . so i'm going with Conklinguitars.

Atleast get it right also, Nevborn makes meshuggahs 8-strings, and lundgren makes the M-7 Pickup, and custom wound M-8, conklin just sells lundgrens.
