Me too man, me too. Screw what everyone else thinks haha. :yesway:


That Jem 20th would have been wnicer if it had a wood body with like acrylic veins running through it that lit up.

Did anyone else notice the tuning on the 8 string (F#,A,D,G,C,F,A,D)? :scratch: So the first sevens trings are a step lower but the eighth string isn't? :spock:

Man I'm glad I'm over Jems.... I would still love to have another white one, but this new thing if this is true is a kick in the balls. Wow,,, what a dissappointment...... The bright spot would be there is an 8 string, and a Black, Desert yellow and Pink 550. Maybe there will be a cool new color on the 1527.

The only new Ibanez I've heard about that does anything for me is the new S7 beacuse of the ZR7 trem and the fact that's it's a nice break from all the RGs.

The rest I don't get real worked up about. I think RG8 will suck balls. Basswood is not fit for a low tuned eight string. Ash would have been much superior. Maple would have been nice to. An ebony board would have been a nice touch as well.

imo Ibanez really seem to have lost their way in recent years, going from an innovative, forward looking company to not knowing wtf they're trying to achieve. Maybe I'm just jaded :shrug:

RG20th-This, I honestly can't stop laughing about. I get people getting excited about the 80's colors again. But these are exact copies of the old models. Standard neck joint, and same edge trem. Why they didn't add the AANJ is beyond me. I get trying to keep it like the original, but you can find pretty much the exact same thing on ebay for about 500-600 bucks less. What's the difference? A matching guitar case. Whoopty-doo.

well, they did make DY RG550s in the mid-late 90s with AANJ's. they'll probably go back down in value when the new ones come out. Granted, i'd probably buy the RG550DY reissue. I'm actually excited by the RG8, S7 and RG550DY. i wish i could get all 3.

Besides... it means a guitar with the Edge trem is coming back into production!

I fucking hate that jem, man, that led thing is horrible.

The rg8 may be cool, but the tuning is very weird, and I don't think that basswood will help with the sound.

I really don't know what you people were expecting :shrug: I mean, how do you make a Jem even more extravagant and flamboyant? Well, make it see-thru and and fill it with crazy LED lights, of course!

I think that no matter what Ibanez did, a large part of the community would be disappointed.
