Ibanez's Multiscale RGD, Designed for Low Tunings

Designed for musicians who utilize extended ranges, the RGDMS8 carries the "RGD" DNA (sharp ergonomics, clear high fret access) and adds a multiscale neck for perfect intonation and tighter response on the low strings. The nyatoh body delivers rich mids while the Macassar ebony provides clear attack and precise articulation, both in the studio and on stage.

Who Is It For and What For?

Ideal for intermediate to expert guitarists playing modern metal, djent, prog, deathcore, or ambient textures on eight strings. The multiscale maintains clarity in low tunings, and the Fishman electronics offer a palette ranging from cutting high-gain to crystalline, dynamic arpeggios.

Sound

The Fluence Modern Alnico (neck) / Fluence Modern Ceramic (bridge) pair covers a wide spectrum: tight lows, present mids, and bright highs. The push/pull volume pot switches between two voicings (modern attack with high output or a more transparent and smooth tone). The Coil-Tap switch adds single-coil inspired colors for snappy cleans and percussive rhythms. The nyatoh + ebony combination, the Mono-Rail bridge (string isolation), and the Gotoh MG-T tuners ensure sustain, precision, and impeccable tuning stability.

Recommended Compatible Accessories

Hard case Ibanez MR350C for rigid protection during transport.
Strings D'Addario EXL120-7 + .065 (gauges .009-.065) to maintain factory tuning and multiscale tension.

Questions frequently asked

What is the scale length of the Ibanez RGDMS8-CSM?

The multiscale range extends from 27.24 to 25.51 inches, or 692 to 648 mm. This distribution increases the tension of the low strings while maintaining a shorter length on the treble side.

Do the Fishman Fluence Modern pickups offer multiple tones?

The active electronics combine a Fishman Fluence Modern Alnico neck pickup and a Ceramic bridge pickup. The push/pull volume control selects two Fishman voicings, while a dedicated Coil-Tap switch provides single-coil inspired tones.

What tuning and string gauges come installed from the factory?

The factory tuning is F-A#-D#-G#-C#-F#-A#-D#, from the 8th to the 1st string. The set installed is a D’Addario EXL120-7 complemented with a .065 string, with gauges ranging from .009 to .065.

Is this 8-string guitar suitable for low tunings?

This model is suitable for low registers used in modern metal, djent, prog, or deathcore. The Ibanez Mono-Rail fixed bridge isolates each string, and the locking Gotoh MG-T tuners contribute to tuning stability.
