Another Giger S with a ZR or a Giger 8 string would be awesome. Ebony boards would look much better, but odds are Ibanez won't ever indulge us.

r3tr0sp3ct1v3 · 02-12-2012, 01:08 PM

High quality mock up please? ^_^

Goatchrist · 02-12-2012, 01:28 PM

I would buy one.

guy in latvia · 02-12-2012, 03:00 PM

^now imagine that exact thing with 8 strings, 27" scale, fixed edge and ebony board with binding...need to change pants...

RGA8 · 02-12-2012, 03:20 PM

If I was good at using photo shop I'd try and make a mock up but not only don't I know how to use it but I don't have it either.

sell2792 · 02-12-2012, 04:24 PM

Oh, and NO Ibanez active pickups either.

HOKENSTYFE · 02-13-2012, 02:15 AM

H3ll yes I would buy a Giger as an 8! A little more life to the fret board though. More spinal life...an ebony alien spine. Maybe a queen alien head design headstock! I'm big enough for any added weight! Get rid of the arm though.

Any Predator interest?

Joking aside, gotta love those AVP games, anything to do with the aliens and predator series is awesome

This is "the SSO Giger theme thread". You may now proceed.

Bloody_Inferno · 02-13-2012, 07:19 AM

Actually, forget the 8 string, I want the HRG Iceman back in 2005:

Assuming Tom Gabriel Fischer doesn't own them all already...

Actually... I wouldn't mind a LACS Xiphos or Glaive with a custom HR Giger artwork...

benjaminbuisine · 02-13-2012, 09:29 AM

for sure

The look of HR Giger's are simply awesome, specially with RG and Iceman stuff.

I'm truely disappoint about the fact that Ibanez didn't release 8 string Iceman, and release an Ibby 8's Iceman Prestige with HR GIGER finish will simply be the best producution guitar of all time !

Keep hoping.

GenghisCoyne · 02-14-2012, 10:04 AM

i remember the guitarist of a boston area death metal band (the name escapes me) had an rg giger a few years ago. he dyed the finger board with that stewmac ebony dye stuff. came out awesome and really suited the guitar well. i also seem to remember the finish being really shitty though, like after a while it started rubbing off shitty.

Wings of Obsidian · 02-14-2012, 02:54 PM

I'd pay a large sum of money for one of the S-series Giger models with the metal powder coating and the engraving. The others....ehhh....not really interesting....

But I'd really do anything for an 8-string Giger model. I think that would really top of the eerie, futuristic look and complete Giger's vision!

DrewsifStalin · 02-15-2012, 02:29 PM

i would sell everything i own and buy as many as possible

Iamasingularity · 02-16-2012, 02:00 AM

If you guys want you can start a petition online, get more people to like the idea and stuff. I`ll make a call to the HQ and ask if they have any plans related to the HRG in the future. I think getting a HRG 8 string is gonna be real hard, but this is a idea I like, and am sure has enough potential for a market. Keep it up guys.

would be really awesome!

since an HRG 8 string isn't something thats going to be as popular as a 6 string, i would really hope they would do a limited run of something like 100 guitars, but make them as high quality like the HRG S model, it would be a success. maybe not at a 6k pricetag, but up to 2k would be awesome!

Scratch that...

His missus just bought him that, which means he's got BOTH HRG models. Bastard.

Honestly it is very unlikely that this will happen. 1st of all the issue being the design. Unless Ibanez and Giger himself have plans to do a reissue, the whole thing is out of the question. 100 runs its not gonna cut it at all. It has to be more than that, and something that Giger will agree to. After all Giger wants his art to reflect its meaning, so he really isn`t into the whole "rip it and stick it deal". Taking into account these factors, it is very unlikely that a HRG 8 string will be in production. The problem isn`t the price of the guitar, its the joint effort of the company/artist and the demand for it that drives the ideas. Though the chances are slim, but there; its best to take this seriously and get people on this. You have to create a buzz/craze or else the 3rd generation of Ibanez/Giger guitars isn`t gonna happen.

Also there was a bass version:

Giger is also known for designing Jonathan Davis of Korn`s mike stand:

Loomer · 02-16-2012, 07:07 AM

Short answer: No.

Long answer: Nooooooooooo!*

*but would gladly buy art books and prints of HR Giger's stuff.

HOKENSTYFE · 02-16-2012, 08:51 AM

Though...Ibanez just put out the RGA's QM. Not sayin' but I'm sayin'!

ilmari · 02-16-2012, 03:05 PM

Fåck yeah!
Fast sketchup.

guy in latvia · 02-16-2012, 03:58 PM
