Description

Ibanez produced the FR800CAM as part of the FR Series, positioning it as a fixed-bridge, high-output electric guitar within the broader Iron Label and performance-oriented tier of the Ibanez catalogue. The model carried the Candy Apple Matte finish designation and was built around a Nyatoh body paired with a Wizard III Roasted Maple neck — a combination Ibanez employed across several of its more specification-focused production lines.

The neck features a Pau Ferro fretboard with Black Block inlays, 24 jumbo frets, a 648 mm (25.5") scale length, and a 400 mm radius. Nut width measures 43 mm, widening to 58 mm at the 24th fret, with neck thicknesses of 19 mm at the first fret and 21 mm at the twelfth. Electronics consist of a Bare Knuckle Aftermath humbucker at the neck — passive, Alnico-loaded — and a Bare Knuckle Aftermath humbucker at the bridge running a passive Ceramic magnet, reflecting a voicing oriented toward high-gain applications. The Mono-rail bridge sets string spacing at 10.8 mm. All hardware is finished in black. The guitar left the factory strung with D'Addario EXL110s (.010–.046) in standard E tuning.

Owners requiring setup work, fret service, or guidance on sourcing replacement Mono-rail bridge components or Bare Knuckle Aftermath pickups should consult a qualified guitar technician familiar with fixed-bridge instruments of this specification.

Nothing in The Vault is for sale. These records exist so the instruments stay documented after the manufacturer moves on — and the most useful part of that record is what owners add to it.

The catalog shot showed one finish, under one light, a long time ago. Yours has been played. Photos from owners are what the next person finds when they are trying to identify a part, match a finish, or work out whether the one they just bought is really what the seller said it was.

Specs only go so far. What actually fits, what breaks first, what the factory got right and what everyone ends up changing — that lives with the people who own them, not in a datasheet. Post what you know and it stays on this page for whoever comes looking next.
