Some have said that the strings pull straight from the nut to the tuners. Not true. There is a very slight splay from centre. I would have preferred it if Ibanez had kept the strings totally straight from the nut to the tuners.

Cool, you finally got to try one Darren, although you could have gotten to try mine way earlier as I did directly offer it to you to try.
And as I also said earlier about your slightly-off string pull issue - that
it is completely rendered moot when you have nut clamps, doesn't it? You just
want to hate it because you don't like RG's, right?
Regardless, your assesment of those 808's is pretty much bang on. I'm actually having trouble deciding now if I like it better than the M8 I put in there or not. They definitely have their own tone that's a bit clearer than the 707, for example.
