Ibanez RGA8 8-String Guitar: Owen Devotes Slightly More Than A Minute To Each String (Video)

Q: What instrument makes a seven-string guitar seem practical? A: The Ibanez RGA8 eight-string guitar. OK, so that little joke wasn&really fair (or funny (so not even a joke, really)), but upon first seeing an eight-string like the RGA8 most folks&impression is along the lines of "really?" Upon actually picking up the RGA8, however, Owen&reaction was "this is far less carpal-tunnel inducing then I would have suspected!" Indeed, the Ibanez RGA8 — an $800 version of their Prestige RG2228 — makes taking up eight-string not only practical, but affordable. And with it&built-in boost / EQ circuit and active Ibanez pickups, it&built for some serious low-range shredding. Do you realize that RGA8 is an anagram of GRA8, which is also Owen&moped&license plate ID? Coincidence?
