RG2228 Owners Check-In

IBANEZDIEHARD · 06-11-2008, 06:24 AM

i just bought mine on the weekend i have been playing exclusively 6 string guitars for the last year as the band i was in didn't want to play any lower than C, but since leaving that band i've been GASing for a new 7 i decided to give the 8 a try and i loved it.

i switched to a .070 for the F# but i'm finding it too thick has anyone had any luck with .064's or lighter

Meant to check in this morning - got mine here

Loving it so far. Can't understand why it shipped in E! But now it's up a whole tone and right as rain. Can't complain so far. Can only say I'll still keep my other Ibby's around for those strat-esque tones as the 2228 only has a 3 way. But nothing to gripe about. It's a beautiful guitar. Me and her are gunna get mighty close...

Bought mine from Guitar Center in Las Vegas in November '07. Love it to death. Tuned it eaeadgbe to play both drop e and drop a.

But I need a wallmount for my guitar, regular wallmounts are too narrow. Anyone got any ideas where to get one that fits an eight-string?

Now a proud owner of the RG2228!!!

It can only really go in or out one way but my 2228 fits my wall hanger and its just a generic Dixon wood base one.

Finally I have one too! It's gonna be my main one, love it to death.

I AM IN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I wish I was in this

But unfortunately I only have about $400 bucks saved up and with my school plus after school stuff I can only work weekends...

Damn, after playing an 8 string my 6 just feels like a sin, way to thin and tiny. The LTD 8 (not the SC one) really handled nicely, and I can't wait to try the RG2228, as I like the shape and bolt on neck much more!

I will be in this... ONE DAY!!!
