Ibanez M8M Meshuggah Signature 8-String, Black Overview
The Ibanez Ibanez M8M Meshuggah Signature 8-String 2018, Black is built to create the crushing tones and extended range required by Mårten Hagström of the band Meshuggah. Meshuggah's uncompromising tonal signature calls for an instrument that can go beyond the normal capabilities of a guitar, and the M8M delivers a huge tone and rock-solid stability for the most aggressive of playing styles. The M8M is crafted in Japan by Ibanez's premier luthiers and is as uncompromising in its build-quality as it is in tonal output. With 8 strings and reaching all the way down to low-F, the M80M has a massive melodic range that is supported by the extra-long scale neck (29.4''). This guarantees a tight and focused response, keeping the strings taught right down to the lowest notes. The neck is constructed in 5 pieces of maple/bubinga and extends completely through the alder body; not only does this give superior sustain and resonance, it also makes the top-end of the fingerboard effortlessly accessible. The alder-wing body gives the brightness needed for low-end clarity, while the Edge III-8 bridge gives you all the benefits of a fixed-bridge sustain and double-locking tuning stability. The M8M is loaded with a single Lundgren Model M8P pickup which provides an explosive tone with extreme articulation, even with the highest-gain settings. A completely smooth playability is guaranteed by the slim neck and flat fingerboard, fitted with jumbo frets with Prestige fret-edge treatment for enhanced string control. If your music is as uncompromising as Meshuggah's, the M8M is one of a select few guitars that will be able to meet your requirements and should be top of your list for reaching the lowest notes.

Full Description
View Full DescriptionAlder Wings with Neck-Through Body
The M8M has alder wings surrounding the 5pc maple/bubinga neck core. Not only does this gives superior resonance and sustain, it also creates an incredibly smooth neck joint for effortless access to the top frets. The sleek contours and double cutaway design enable easy reach to the top frets so you'll find high-range soloing and low-range riffing present no difficulties whatsoever.
Fast, Flat, Smooth Neck
The maple/walnut neck is reinforced with titanium rods which creates an incredibly stable platform, guaranteeing tuning stability during aggressive performances. The thin neck and flat 430mm fingerboard radius gives excellent reach and balance over all 8 strings. The 24 jumbo frets provide superior string control while the extra-long scale length ensures your lowest strings will retain excellent clarity.
FX Edge III-8 Bridge
The FX Edge III-8 bridge is fixed to the guitar providing optimum string vibration transfer to the body. The bridge features the locking design of a double-locking system, paired with a locking nut for absolute tuning stability. A set of fine-tuners let you make minute adjustments without unlocking the nut bolts.
Lundgren Model M8 Pickup
A single Lundgren Model M8 Pickup in the bridge position indicates the no-nonsense tonal characteristic of this guitar - it gives power, clarity and articulation for the heaviest of riffs and solos. An 8-string guitar has a huge melodic range and this pickup is designed specifically to re-produce every nuance across the whole frequency spectrum.
