Enter to win an Ibanez RG8: bit.ly/MeshuggahRG8
Premier Guitar’s Perry Bean hung out with Meshuggah's tech, Kent Eriksson, who walks through the bone-crushing, cabinet-free rigs of Fredrik Thordendal, Mårten Hagström, and Dick Lövgren, the three Viking warriors of the extreme prog-metal apocalypse.
Fredrik Thordendal’s newest addition to his arsenal is this 2016 Ibanez LACS (Los Angeles Custom Shop) Stoneman with three Lundgren M8 pickups and a push/pull coil-split option. This Stoneman, like all of Thordendal’s axes, is strung with DR Tight Fit (.009-.072) strings and is tuned F-Bb-Eb-Ab-Db-Gb-Bb-Eb.
Hagström's main guitar is his Ibanez LACS M8M with an alder body and one mighty Lundgren M8 pickup. This one is tuned a half-step down with a foam mute and strung with DR Tight Fit .009-.070) strings.

2:46. Damn that’s some extreme precision to have temperamented frets. Imagine the amount of patience and skill it would take to design that, not to mention the routing on the fingerboard and the bending of the fretwire. It’s really cool though. If I ever get my hands on a guitar withtemperamented frets I’m gonna see how the bends come out.

The thing is, when you bend, it feels like a regular guitar and it sounds regular too.

Oh and don't forget the extra batteries, they don't take normal AA / AAA batteries. These are made by Shure and cost 100 € a piece, with only 1450 mAh capacity
