General

Are you ready for a new challenge? This 8-string classical acoustic guitar might be something for you. Yes, it really exists... 8 strings! There are plenty of electric guitars with eight strings, but this Ibanez G208CWC classical guitar is a different story. Moreover, this guitar also has a very reliable, rugged construction and produces a full, balanced sound.
Ibanez G208CWC: construction
The Ibanez G208CWC has a top made of solid spruce which is known for its full, lively and sparkly sound that only gets better with age. The neck, sides and back are made of mahogany and the fretboard is made of rosewood. The bronze tuners, wooden mosaic rosette around the sound hole, and the natural-coloured high-gloss varnish all give this Ibanez G208 a classical look.

Ibanez G208CWC 8-string classical guitar natural
Wrote the following about Ibanez G208CWC 8-string classical guitar natural
Il servizio è ottimo. Ordinata lunedì pomeriggio, arrivata mercoledì.

La chitarra in generale è di buona e accurata costruzione (all'interno non c'è una sbavatura di colla). Una cosa che non mi spiego invece è come abbiano potuto fare la rosetta e la buca non concentriche. Questo è un difetto che compare, stando alle fotografie, solo nella mia chitarra. Era l'ultimo articolo rimasto e lo manderei indietro se non fossi costretto ad aspettare diversi mesi prima di riavere quello nuovo. Questa comunque è una questione estetica che naturalmente non influisce sulle caratteristiche timbriche e di suonabilità assolutamente buone, soprattutto considerando il costo. È ben regolata riguardo all'altezza delle corde sulla tastiera, (3,5 mm dal lato bassi e 2,8 dal lato acuti), i tasti sono ben livellati, il ponte è ben costruito con i fori per le corde molto bassi e vicini alla tavola in modo da formare sull'osso un angolo piuttosto pronunciato . Questo tipo di costruzione contribuisce a formare un suono chiaro e nitido sugli acuti. Nonostante non sia dichiarato nelle specifiche il manico ha un truss rod con regolazione sotto la tastiera all'interno della cassa. Non ho trovato lungo la tastiera note di volume più basso di altre. I bassi non sovrastano gli acuti e suonando senza unghie risultano forse un po' ovattati. Probabilmente, con l'invecchiare della tavola in abete, potranno acquistare un po' più di profondità. In generale comunque il timbro è buono, ben bilanciato, adatto soprattutto alla musica rinascimentale per liuto trascritta per chitarra.
