I absolutely love that new Satriani model. 24 frets, H-S configuration. Sign me up!

Anyone else notice that all RGDs are 26.5"? Or has that been mentioned already and I'm just late in the game?
That's been known for quite some time now.

I find it kinda funny that the RGA 8 is mahogany and the RG8 Prestige is basswood But whatever. I really am digging that RGA7... Like a lot. That and the RGD7 look fantastic... Depending on the price I may have to pick one of those two up as a backup guitar

The new Satch model is awesome. Sad to see that Ugly Gilbert again, and I'm sick to fucking death of seeing the same old Jems and the lamest cop out UV going. When are they going to make exciting Jems and UVs again? Steve Vai's stock never declined, are Ibanez really that lazy that they can't be bothered to a UV requiring anything other than the bare minimum of flat black finish and a rosewood neck?
I will always love Ibanez more than any other manufacturer, but (and this applies to the guitar industry as a whole) it's feeling more and more like "Same shit, different year". Some new finishes, a tweak to a model here and there, but still charging the highest prices and using the cheapest materials.
And I'm sorry Ibanez, but those Darkstone things look fucking horrendous.

^ UVMC Reissue and new floral jem not enough?
Perhaps when Vai starts playing more exciting guitars.
Not to mention, since his lack of using the UV, I'm surprised to see it still in production.
Highest prices? Since when have they beat out ESP, Gibson, Fender, PRS, Grestch, and Parker at high prices?

Thing with the UV is if it were to be taken away there would be alot of angry people, I would be, I plan to get it now it's got Lo Pro, and in a fair few of Vai's songs he has parts behind the lead that include 7 string use, so he's probably using it for those parts.
I totally I agree, I LOVE UVs, and it's my mission to own one of each. Though, it's obviously not his main stage guitar anymore, and I honestly can't remember the last time he used it live, so I think it may be on the back burner for him as far as the aesthetics.

I didn't see those in the catalogue

The 2008 white PGM was £700 new in the UK. The tobacco burst model (with a cost effective rosewood board to boo) was £1900. The Herman Ri model isn't cheap either.
Also, its not up to Vai to simply design guitars and get them made. The ball is in Ibanez's court as far as that goes, I'm sure Steve would love to toss in some ideas for a few paint jobs, but its not up to Steve when that happens.

Supposedly they're going to be limited editions, so I really wouldn't count those as production guitars.
I want them to go back to the older UV7s and such, but not even Steve himself has been seen with anything but a UV777PBK in ages. Minus the FTLOG UV he's been messing with lately.

He used one on his last studio album and while its a long time since that came out, and he doesn't use them live anymore, he still writes a lot of his songs for 7 strings.
I suppose they will have that stupid $9,333 price that Ibanez were using last year too, so much for afforable guitars that players want

Sorry, but part of those prices has to do with the country you are living in. I see your frustration, but understand it has less to do with Ibanez going "let's charge the fuck out of the Brits!!!" and more to do with the distributor in the UK.
Another part of the price increase was that Fuji-Gen raised their prices. Ibanez can't control that.
Are you sure about the woods? A maple fretboard blank at LMII is $14.00 while a rosewood one is $13.75. If they really wanted to save some money, there's better ways to do so.

What's the point of giving an artist a signature guitar if they're not gonna use it live. That's the entire point of an endorsement.
As for the limiteds. They aren't meant to be affordable, or for players for that matter. They're for the collectors, who WILL shell out the money for them.
