This video showcases a customized Ibanez RGDMS8-CSM multi-scale guitar featuring Graph Tech upgrades: PS-8000-00 white TUSQ saddles (custom 8-string set) and a Graph Tech nut custom-made from PT-4025-00 Black TUSQ XL blank.

Fun facts:
Daddo uses a unique tuning called "High A" on his 8-string guitars. Unlike traditional 8-string tuning (two extra lower strings), this tuning features one lower string (typically the low B) and one higher string above the regular high E the high A string.


In Daddo's final solo run, during which he demonstrates an A-dominant 7 arpeggio, he starts from the lowest possible note (drop A in this song) and ends with a C# note on the "fretted Fishman Fluence neck pickup", which is the highest possible pitch on this modified Ibanez RGDMS8-CSM multi-scale 8-string guitar.

This is a solo section from "Light in the Dark" by Daddo's band, “Oversoul Frequency”, which is available on various digital platforms such as Spotify and Apple Music, and as a video HERE
