Marten Hagstrom on the Meshuggah M80M Ibanez 8-string signature model
Музыка
For more details:www.ibanez.com/
Ibanez sat down with Marten Hagstrom of Meshuggah to discuss the new M80M signature 8-string guitar. The instrument features an Ash body, 5pc Maple/Walnut 29.4" neck, Jumbo frets, Rosewood fingerboard, FX Edge III bridge, and the Lundgren Model M8P pickup. Check it out at an Ibanez dealer near you or at www.ibanez.com!

"Cost a bit less" is an understatement. This was actually a brilliant move by Ibanez.
I used to try to imitate 7 string songs with my 6. Now I have a 7, and I imitate 8 string songs with my 7. Fuck man...

@@Chuggsbigman Yeah, I have this model, and the scale length obviously is quite something to get used to, but it's worth it to have that massive tone. And even with this length, it's borderline muddy. I can't understand how 8-strings are commonly 27 inches, it seems the 29,4 is pretty much required for the tone to hold up at all.

Chuggsbigman Nah. Architects tunes to F# on their lowest 6th string on a 25.5” scale guitar (Josh Middleton) and it sounds great. It’s all preference. I’m honestly surprised Ibanez ever green lit a guitar like this for production. I guess I’m biased since I’m not a big baritone fan to begin with but nearly 30” is borderline unplayable as a guitar for most styles unless you want to only cover Meshuggah and Meshuggah-esque styles of metal.

I demo'd this guitar today to see if it was worth the price, after already spending $900 on an Ibanez 7 String Iron Label RGIR27FE which i've now had for over a year and its been my one and only guitar after getting rid of my old starter strat copy. It's absolutely worth it, it's huge but lighter than i thought, a Gibson Les Paul is heavier than this still, and even with a 5 second tweak on the amp in the shop the tone was already beast. Its not muddy even with the factory half step downtuning, and after 5 minutes i was already convinced enough to put a deposit on one at $1800 So keen to shred on this beastly instrument, hopefully my Blackstar ID 15 TVP can do it justice, or I'm about to get a serious case of Gear Acquirement Syndrome

+Jason Yonda To put it simply, in some ways, the M80M is light-years beyond the 7421, but it also only has one pickup and one volume. It's not the best if you are looking for versatility, but it excels at what it was made for, which is crystal-clear rhythm playing at the brown-note. The neck is pretty much the longest one you can find in a baritone guitar, which gives you insane clarity, but also makes it way harder to play than a 7421. It's somewhere in between your guitar and a bass. Personally, I'd get a further mastery of the 7-banger before you try moving on to 8. It feels alot weirder to transition from 7 to 8 than from 6 to 7. With the two extra strings, it kinda throws your mind for a loop when you're trying to play stuff that wasn't intended for an 8-string, which I do quite a bit on mine, since the tones are so brutal. I absolutely love Lundgren p/ups. They kick the crap out of SD and Dimarzio, that's for sure.

I will definitely agree, my Ibanez 7 string RG is basically a different instrument in comparison, the frets on the m80m are way spaced apart, making shred playing very difficult, but youre right too, the chugs are super crisp which is very necessary for the technical rhythm playing of meshuggah and similar bands
@leanfist

you won't regret it, this guitar is incredible.
Thats kinda what they are after, especially in their newer work. Their main appeal is the 4/4 beat against polyrhythmic time signatures which cannot be broken down within the 4/4 and are notably very variable in their notation within it. Some melodious moments found in songs such as the Bleed solo and Straws pulled at random are some of the most iconic in their musicianship. At best, it swings between dissonance and harmony at their preferred pace.
Indeed :) They are very easy to approach the next time they do a concert in your area, perhaps you'll meet them on the street. \m/ I wish you will
Might try some day...And yes it's beautiful, I have the desert yellow too, I saw it in a shop that ships ibanez guitars here and i new i'd end up having one :D

I'm starting to think if not get rid of my 7 string guitar... I still need few 6 string guitars , but with this M80M I can get rid of the 7 string guitar...

Talk about the titanium rods in the neck! I’m curious to know how that affects tone/stability/playability.
OLP makes a 30" scale 6 string baritone guitar. I own one! Affordable option if you're trying to learn some Meshuggah songs.
***** I have one,34"baritone Takamine Jasmine. Keep it in drop Ab but it goes way lower. Love that guitar. Next one I get from him will have to be in F or drop F. I have the Ibby RG 8 string with a Lundgren M8. Both killer guitars.
I just love how it got loud at 1:14 \m/
If you're planing in pre-ordering one you're extreeemely late. It's HEAVILY limited. Pre-ordered mine weeks ago and it's the second wave arriving in Germany, means I get mine somewhere December. 1149€ tho' good price, amazing value!
interesting, didn't know about that schecter 30", would have to hear how it sounds as it doesn't seem setup for the heavier styles. I would still prefer an 8 string myself so I can have standard tuning on the higher 6 strings and the extra two lower strings when needed but I guess if you have tiny hands and find an 8 string too big then something like this schecter with decent pickups could be an option.
what song is that playing at the end? i havent hgeard it before but im lovin that riff
Its actually a great guitar. :) Tried it a few days ago. Try it out! :)
Congratulations mate! Beatiful isnt it? i ended up getting a Jem just for the Edge 2. But the feeling of both is sublime. Try the new Universe 7 String. UV70P, it feels like playing a 6 string... a brutal 6 string ^^
Wow, that's, a lucky one I guess. Several Countries are having the problem of pre-ordering, because of that limitation it as well. What are your thoughts on it? Cons, Pros? Having a rough time with the scale of that beast or having no inlays?

I am, actually. He seems like a really cool dude. They all do.
What do you mean they don't use them? Freddy plays solos in the high registers / uses the higher strings in a bunch of songs. As for baritone 6 string electric guitars, feel free to post a link to a 29 " scale one, not saying they don't exist but i've never heard of any bigger than 27 " so i'd genuinely like to see it.
what is the name of the backround song?

You can see on his face it's hard to think of positive things to say about the M80M because its the cheaper version of their best guitar which is the M8M.
Gakki is the man! and yeah the first guitar was hella espensive

Aaron kidd Who's to say that it's not? Guitarists usually think about tuning in all fourths, straight down. If your 8 string is BEADGBEA and mine is F#BEADGBA, then who cares, right? Musicians/guitarists will still know exactly what you're talking about, you're technically correct but I don't there is a universal eight or nine-string "standard" when it comes to tuning.

Needs more pups, I'll stick to getting the Tosin Abasi sig if i'm going 8 string.

'kay, thanks a lot :)
Actually I'm going to have to agree with Mr. Rompe on this one, even though Ibanez only has a handful of cheaper 8 strings (they don't just have the RG8, there is the new Iron Label 8, the S8, and RGA8 and a few others I think) $1500 is pretty damn steep, considering there are TONS of companies now that offer great 8 strings for much much less. Hell for that price you can order a custom multi-scale agile to your own specifications.

Ash body? Can't believe it
Yeah fo'real, I mean most of us started learning on one string then moved to others, some went to 6 some went to 7 and 8, these guys have enough talent to make entire compositions on 1 string, within 3 frets. It's insane!!
Exactly! I've been playing for 3 years now and I still play with my Axl Mosque that I paid around 170 dollars 4 years ago. Kids these days think they need high end equipment to play good, but unless you think about making money it's not worth buying expensive stuff imo.
whats teh difference between the M8M and the M80M? I mean teh M80M is a lot cheaper, but where's the bad thing about it then?
Yeah you loose a lot of mid range with a bolt on neck. Plus the heel of the neck will be tapered differently so would feel less comfortable to play in some positions.
i guess the bolt on neck helps in making it cheaper...
I couldn't get into these guys until I took music theory in school and really figured out what they were doing haha
2box on the drumss??!!
Nah, you're forgetting where they also play the 12th and 13th frets of said string.
Try counting MOST of their songs in 4/4, You CAN do it or you can use different time signatures or you could just skip the counting and pick out certain phrases (and yes you still require a pulse but then just nod your head and you will get it or just count to one all the time) It works! ;)
