Ibanez 2011

[Sepultorture]

Id like to see some more neck through RGs and some fixed bridge 7s with reverse headstocks.

amen to that

 

[ibbyfreak13]

Baritone 6's are something ibanez has lacked over the years, as well

thats what im hoping for. but as said before 2011 probably wont be an expansion type year, just really more of the same. we may see some gone and see those get replaced by similar things just with different finishes or hardware. but as for all the hoping going on thats probably all it will turn out, just a bunch of hopes. although my guess might be further gio models and improvements


but as for my hope more rgt42dx's without flame maple tops, i love my 2 solid color ones and see japan has another but for some reason just cant get on board with the flame maple.

Id like to see some more neck through RGs and some fixed bridge 7s with reverse headstocks. Maybe even a 28` scale 8 string with a fixed bridge, but what ever they do stop making black the only finish option for some of the guitars. I am so tired of black. Its waaay too boring.

Also this. +1

didn't read through all the comments, but i heard rumours about a whole new model for the more extreme range of guitars, being a new baritone or maybe even something extended.

i'd love the 2228 come in a new color.

26.5" RGT6 with no comfort curves, binding, 2V/1T controls, three way, DiMarzios, hardtail.

I would love a reissue of the RGA121, but lately, I've been wanting them to release a 6 string RGD in a natural wood finish with both trem and non-trem versions. I would dump so much money for one of those, it would be unreal.

Hence the RGD series.

Bring the XL series back.

Period.

 

[ibbyfreak13]

absolutely bring the XL's back!!!!!! i went yesterday to try out an rgd as i am badly wanting a baritone, and i was left disappointed. if i get a baritone i want it to be a noticable difference in length and that 26.5" just doesnt do it. i want at least 27" scale even though its only 1/2 inch longer than the rgd its still an inch and half longer then the 25.5 im used to. also if they happen to do these in a neck thru or rgt id be a very happy man!

More fixed bridge J Customs RGs....

I would love for them to use a thicker neck profile. I love their guitars, except that the necks are too thin, and that's coming from only having played a guitar with a Wizard II.

Sadly, that will never happen.

I'd like to see a prestige baritone iceman 6 and 7 with a zr trem and more 8 strings

This.
I could live with the neck for a 7 string Iceman.

What I find odd is that Hoshino Gakki originally created the Iceman to be a design special to Japan, like the Les Paul and Strat is to America, but there are only two Iceman in Ibanez's entire line.

Not that its heaps thicker, but the older J customs have a 19.5-21.5 thickness, which I really like, as opposed to original wizard 17-19.

There's also the Ultra neck profile found on both new and older Prestige models, as well as the Viper neck from the old RT and JPM guitars.

 

[blister7321]

ARTs with edge 3s

 

[MaxOfMetal]

Seeing as this has turned into another "I want this and that!" threads, I might as throw in my opinion:

I'd buy at least two or three models from each page.

 

[Whitestrat]

I'd like to own back my old 540R. (or rather, mine was a 440R). Seriously miss that guitar. Cut my teeth on those strings and the super comfortable Ultra neck.

I know, but at the end of the day they all want to make money. Ibanez pay Mick $100K a year to stay with them, it seems they really want him and he is one of their most well known endorsers. I just don't see them getting rid of it.

Having worked for Hoshino for a few years, I'd question this statement. Pretty well known for years that Ibanez doesn't pay their endorsees.

What that figure may have come from was his initial roalty cut, or maybe licensing the Slipknot name/image a la Kiss. Also, the artist appearance or clinic fees.

(Don't know for sure as I am no longer employed by Hoshino, but my response is in-line with my experience with the company).

As far as another earlier issue. Head no longer in Korn, Head no longer has a signature model.

Cheers,
Butch

Max, the blue floral is one of the coolest guitars ibanez has ever produced. There's few things i wouldn't do for an NOS example of one.
