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.

The point of endorsement is to sell guitars, no more, no less. If they made some new UVs they'd sell like hot cakes, because we want more UVs andVai fans want more Vai guitars, regardless of him using it live or not ;)

Am I seriously the only one outraged by the discontinuation of the RGA321? :mad:

Yeah the Edge Pro is completely gone now, I doubt it will ever be put on an Ibanez guitar again, even for artist reissues, because I don't think any particular artist really liked it more than Edge/Lo Pro to begin with.

Can anyone tell me why Ibanez doesn't pay much attention to the S series? Dammit all I wanted was some new S and SV prestige colors? I was told by Rich at Ibanez rules that there was going to be a saphire blue S5470f and that the black haze one was only meant for japan? I hope he is right.

Sales.

This is not the US catalog, thus there are still models, and colors we haven't seen yet.

No, that patent has expired from what I have heard.

This is indeed true. If you've seen close up pics of Edge on the recent Jem 505s, it no longer says "licensed under Floyd Rose".

So far all the sigs (Satch, Vai and Munky's APEX) all have the original/Lo-Pros. All non sigs have an EZ on them. Herman Li and Sam Totman's sigs are exceptions. And the MTMs Edge FX are based on the Edge III.

I'm not sure why folks don't dig the Edge Pro. Got one on my 1570 and think it's better than a Floyd. And I thought ZR trems were the ones people didn't really dig.

In any event, thanks much. I'm pretty intrigued by the combination of mahogany body, 7 strings, and Prestige level craftsmanship, but am hoping against hope that they put some passive pickups in those things. Can't get into actives no matter how I try.

Definitely will have to compare that to the RGD, even if I'm not looking for basswood in a seven. That body shape, pickup array, and scale length can't be discounted too quickly.
