Is the price shown inclusive of VAT?

Yes. Every price on Northgate Music Co. includes UK VAT at 20%, and a full VAT invoice is emailed with your dispatch confirmation. There are no import duties or handling fees on UK orders.

Will it need a set-up when it arrives?

No. Our workshop completes a full set-up before dispatch — truss rod, action, intonation and fresh strings — and includes the measurements in the box. UK humidity changes may call for a small seasonal tweak later on.

What happens if I don't get on with it?

You have 30 days from delivery to return it for a full refund. We email you a free UK return label, and refunds are processed to your original payment method within 5 working days of the item arriving back with us.

What warranty cover is included?

Two years parts and labour against manufacturing defects, on top of your statutory rights under the Consumer Rights Act 2015. Consumables such as strings, reeds, heads and batteries are covered for 90 days.

Unleash Your Metal Fury with the Ibanez Axe Design Lab RGDMS8 from Irvine Art & Music!

If you're searching for the ultimate modern metal machine, look no further than the Ibanez Axe Design Lab RGDMS8 multi-scale 8-string electric guitar. This stunning instrument is built around an ultra-comfortable nyatoh body with a classic silver matte finish that is sure to turn heads. The multi-scale design of the 5-piece Wizard III-8 neck and 24-fret Macassar ebony fingerboard is the epitome of ergonomic design, allowing for lightning-fast runs, arpeggios, and hammer-ons with ease.

The RGDMS8 is equipped with Fishman Fluence Modern humbuckers that deliver a massive tonal range, from modern active to high-output humbucking, without any unwanted noise or inductance issues. You can also choose between two different voices and additional sonic textures with the push-pull pot on the guitar's volume knob and coil-tap switch.

This beast of a guitar also features a Mono-rail hardtail bridge that maximizes playing comfort and vibration transfer, Gotoh locking tuners, and a head-turning satin finish.
