Ibanez 2011

I quite like the Edge so I am okay with this fixed bridge I really hope they don't announce another colour though otherwise ill be kicking myself for a long time That rosewood looks a bit... dead though doesnt it?

 

[Prydogga]

The MII rosewood isn't very good quality, but most of the time it's dark and not as dead looking as that. Not all models would look like that.

Since when is the lightness or darkness of the grain an indicator of a wood's quality?

(RGD7321)

Thats hot!

And it comes in one of my favorite finishes, flat black! I am not a big fan of gloss black, I do like the flat (dull) black finishes though.

Looks like the Edge III is getting phased out by the Edge Zero II.

 

[Guamskyy]

Good lord. Can it be Ibanez is LISTENING to its customers?

Ha nooo, do you see a lefty ibanez 7 string in current production?

My BFR has a light colored board.

 

[BrainArt]

Light rosewood or dark rosewood, I don't care. All I know is that I am stoked as for NAMM '11. And can't wait to see pics of the Apex-100.

Also, as for the RGD7321: Do want.

My bad, I guess I didn't word it very well, I just meant that the Rosewood looked a bit pale, I wasn't implying the quality is bad.

I just prefer darker looking fretboards, thats all

 

[MetalMike04]

How about a lefty 7? Hmmm? Hmmmmmm?

PLEASE!!!!!!

 

[devolutionary]

And I was just saying this morning to my Father that my new guitar stand has an empty slot begging for a seven. I am enormously pleased by this development.

 

[simonXsludge]

I'm curious about the ARZ7

so am i. i'm just disappointed to read it comes in black. COME ON!!!

the RGD7321 is looking pretty cool, though!

S with maple board =

Also:

While it's not clear at the moment, I'm curious to know what does the small text says on top of the logo.

Sorry, sometimes I forget to evaluate what I mean, that lighter board shows the grain more than most, and the grain IMO is unappealing, compared to light boards on BMs and EBMMs etc.

It says 'Premium', and the neck itself is designated 'Wizard Premium'.

It is a new badge they will be using, like a cheaper version of 'Prestige' I suppose. I think it's an Indonesian neck but they put more care into the neck and fretwork.

Very interesting. Perhaps it's like those old S, SA, and SZ Prestige series guitars which were made in Korea by Cort, but were still built very well, almost on MIJ Prestige level.

If they do it right, it's a genius move.

A new Munky signature model. DiMarzio Blaze humbuckers. Alder body. Lo-pro Edge 7

Does anyone have a good estimate of how long it will be until I could actually get one of these? When will they go on sale and when will they be in stock?
Also does anyone know about how much they will cost?

 

[Sephiroth952]

New tremolo system?Replacement for the edge 3 maybe?

Personally I'd guess it's somewhere between the price of a RG7321 and the RGD321 as it's not that different from them both in terms of spec unless Ibanez decide to make them out alder/mahogany/etc instead of their usual basswood.
