That's odd, the schedule doesn't say when they are going to live deliver some new models to my house.

They're disappointed in you owning so many Ibanez SZ's.

REALLY wish there was a higher quality version of that Triryche.. would love an E-II or ESP version. Might have to buy one anyways

Still not feeling the E-II models.

The only thing I don't like are the hipshot-style bridges. Tune-o-matic and Floyd Rose have become my favorite bridges lately. I see zero reason to have individual height adjustment on every saddle, it just makes setting up the guitar more of pain in the ass.

Why couldn't you ESP??? Why???

I prefer hipshot/fender fixed style bridges over TOM and FR; TOM is just uncomfortable to play (recessed TOM is preferred) and FR is just pain in the butthole to setup/maintain

I disagree on both points, but I'm glad they're trying to appeal to both.

I think it would be ....ing terrible if a company got rid of multiple things, in favor for one style just to appeal to a minority of people. Getting rid of ToMs and FRs in favor for Hipshot/Fakeshot bridges just because the majority of a niche forum wants it? Yeah, .... that. A lot of us still play ToMs and Floyd Roses without hassle.

Hipshot/Fakeshot bridges

Yeah I'd hate to get a Fakeshot bridge

Hey, at least ESP is honest about it.

I literally agree with all of this. However I do like that they at least give people a ton of options. Just not many that I want anymore. Most guitars I have have floating trems because I want all the other specs. I just want some more sweet flatmount 7 strings for under $2k.

Every time I see their EL stuff I can't help thinking they are the best CS around...but I never find something I'd actually love to have

That rusted Horizon and the "moon" Eclipse are really rad looking.
I'm going to watch this frame by frame to see if I can catch a glimpse of my Custom Horizon lurking in the background somewhere.

I wish I had the confidence in life to approach anything like how these dudes take a neck thru guitar to a bandsaw like nothing.
