The S8 is an eight string S series electric guitar model introduced by Ibanez in 2013.

The S8 is similar in terms of specs to the seven-string S7421, except with a different neck construction. Features include a mahogany body, a 5-piece neck with titanium reinforcement, Ibanez-made pickups, and a Gibraltar Standard II-8 hard-tail bridge.

The S8QM is a similar model with a quilted maple top.

The S8 was sold only in the USA market and was discontinued after two years.
