Am I the only one that thinks this is dirty as fuck?:

Frozen Ocean Blue?

I'm wondering what was lost in translation when they decided to call that blue

 

[Elijah]

Well at least this definitely confirms the US models

I think the Premium Series is supposed to be an indirect burn to Chris Broderick for leaving Ibanez. I mean just look at the Specs. Dimarzio Pickups, Edge Zero tremolo. And an RG style Body.

Yeah I don't see how that is blue either, its fucking purple.

Since it seems like the popular thing to do, I guess I will throw in my one complaint. I prefer rosewood, but I could learn to live with maple. That being said, those inlay kill the guitar. They are tolerable on rosewood, but just look weird on maple. Put the small black dots on and I would totally buy one.

I can promise you, these guitars were in development months upon months before Chris had even first thought about leaving Ibanez.

So what's the Premium series supposed to be? Just a step up from their normal line, but below Prestige standards?

An excuse for them to charge more for cheap Indonesian made guitars

Yes.

Throw some fancy veneers on them, color match the headstock, price goes up $200

 

[Adam Of Angels]

I think it's the continuation of the non-MIJ Prestiges, like we talked about before

 

[DrunkyMunky]

Any idea how much the RGD7320Z will cost?

Damn! Do want!

Those were Korean made, and these certainly aren't. Also, the Korean Prestiges were only S, SA and SZ models, never RG models. There are some parallels, but there's no real link.

Check out one of the 2011 (Limited Edition) Showcase models, the RG2011SC:
