Not any actual info or anything, but I tried out the ART7 at NAMM and definitely am getting one,

Did anyone else notice how awkward the 30 fret lower horn felt in person?

Yeah.....those upper 6 frets are really just a novelty.....my pinky couldnt even fret them accurately. If the spacing were better it'd be great cuz the cutaway actually let you get up there.

I wanted to play the new Munky sig but the bastards had it zip tied!

 

[potatohead]

i just hope the websites aren't any real indication that Canada won't be getting an RGD7321, i fucking need that guitar in my life

So, buy it from the States...

The smaller the distance between frets, the more difficult it is to play, but they need to get a lot closer than that to be unplayable. Your fingers don't actually have to fit between the frets to stop the string at the right fret, you can actually press your finger over the previous fret.

It's kind of silly for them to have the new Munky sig zip tied so that no one can play it at NAMM. It'd be like going to a wine tasting convention where they only show you pictures of the wine bottles, instead of letting you taste them.

and incure higher pay out due to it's me buying it from across border, sure, i'll pay shipping and massive cross border taxes, i'll get right on that

I went on Sunday (new rule I guess) and had no problem playing both APEX guitars and any other guitar on the Ibanez booth

 

[bostjan]

Isn't there some sort of NAFTA or something to keep trade barriers low between USA and Canada?

I've never bought anything more than a pack of gum and a soda from Canada, so I don't really know what I'm talking about. It just seems to me that if you need the guitar so badly, and the duties aren't completely ridiculous, it could be an option.

I've bought guitars from Australia and had no issues.

EDIT: Did anyone posting here actually see the De-Activator 8?

"Did anyone posting here actually see the De-Activator 8?"

Did anyone get any video of the Deactivator 8??? I heard Bulb was demoing it at the dimarzio booth on a RG2228

 

[aleXander]

Just took a look at the RG7320 on the US site and it doesn't look to bad.
It's a decent lookin' guitar, granted I don't know how well the new trem is.
But I like the binding on the neck and with some new pickups it looks like it'll be killer.

 

[Korngod]

i had a thread started like 3 years ago, hoping for an RG7320! nice to see they made it happen.

It is man, I'm definitely considering it.
Toss a CL/LF combo in it and I'm set.

I have a guitar coming to me from the US right now that was/is not available up here. If they ship USPS the worst charge you will have is about $10 in brokerage, and perhaps 5 or 6% in duty if the guitar is not made in Canada/US/Mexico. You will also have to pay tax which you pay buying it at home anyway. This doesn't even include the fact the guitar is probably 25% cheaper down there to begin with.

With that said, I try to shop up here as much as I can, but when something isn't available, you don't have much option.

This guys face is awesome.

"So, ju vant to look at ze Ibanez, ja??"

Might be a repost, but in case anyone's missed these:

Hold it right there buddy, when he demonstrates the RG Premium he clearly says "Mahogany body". Then why the hell does the Ibanez website say it's (American) Basswood?

because he might be mistaken?!
