Ibanez 2011

[AChRush1349]

all i want from ibby is a 27" neckthrough maple/wenge/bubinga RG wit reverse headstock, ebony board,24 ss frets, either alder or possibly poplar body, and 1 sd blackout or bareknuckle miracle man or aftermath pickups, and a volume knob. damnit it wont happen so i will have to go custom.

That sounds pretty much like that I want. Neck through, extended scale, Not basswood (though I don't care as much anymore) Ebony. PLEASE READ THIS IBANEZ

Ibanez has sold tens of thousands of guitars while some are crying for ebony, I don't see why they'd change that now.

 

[TheGuitarNinja]

Meshuggah sig RGs and Icemen would be sweet.





Never gonna happen.

 

[Louis Cypher]

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

1991 Ibanez Catalog of Win

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

That was a mighty fine year.....

In Dream world fantasy NAMM 2011 7 string Iceman and a reissue BFP Jem please

 

[Disco Volante]

Every guitar will now be available in black and Ibanez will host a press conference in an NYC Hard Rock cafe and launch the guitar REVOLUTION!! Oh wait... Gibson beat them to the "revolution" already. At least they can still make all the guitars black?

 

[Prydogga]

It's a huge ask, and would probably never happen in the entire history of Ibanez outside of LACS, but a neckthrough, ash bodied, grey/black maple curly/flame maple top RGA 7 with black hardware, including black Edge Pro (Which I've only seen once.)

 

[JaeSwift]

I'de just like to see a 7 or 8 string that isn't mahogany or basswood. I'de like to see more guitars like those in general.

 

[vampiregenocide]

I'd like to see a reissue of the voyager and 540p.

Ibanez has sold tens of thousands of guitars while some are crying for ebony, I don't see why they'd change that now.

They don't even allow their endorsers access to decent ebony.

Was it necessary to quote all the pictures?

 

[Loomer]

Just swap the pickups in the RGA7 cheapo for passive-sized pickups, or at least some non-miserable pickups instead of those mudbuckets. The rest of that guitar is a damn fine deal, but by god, do those pickups blow.

 

[rvoteary]

I'd love to see some unearth sigs

I love it, Ibanez only has 6 guitars that are only available in black, but people still say they only make black guitars.

I love it, Ibanez only has 6 guitars that are only available in black, but people still say they only make black guitars.

But they only have 3 ERGs that are colors other than black.

Maybe for Ken (I'd love to see his red RG-550 7-string as a sig), but I don't think Buz is with them anymore. As was mentioned earlier, he's been using ESP's on stage lately.

But while we're dreaming for things "out of left field," I'd love to see a 7-string Fireman. Preferably without the $7,000 price tag that the Paul Gilbert one carried.

I count five.

XPT707FX
RG1527RB
RG1527MWH
Apex2
RG7321FM

Add to that the RGD2120CSM if you count longer scale 6s as ERGs, and UV77RE if you count limited editions.

Granted the UV777PBK, Apex1, RGA7, RGA8, RG2228, RGD2127, and RG7321 are only available in solid black finishes.

Though, take a look at ESP/LTD, every single ERG they currently offer in North America is black.

 

[JamesM]

I would buy that RG-550 7 string in literally three seconds. No doubt in my entire mind. I wouldn't even think about it.

 

[NeglectedField]

I'd love them to bring out some decent v-shapes, bring back the Destroyer shape on bass like they've done for the Iceman shape.

More RG prestige hardtails but with passives as standard (or EMGs rather than those LZRs). Like the limited edition RG1421.

They used to have more colors, though.

I asked about the 540PII for 2011, they said no.

Sadly, the coolest Ibanez are the custom bodies and necks that people piece together. That RG550 (RG557?) would be very doable from some place like ET guitars.

 

[Bloody_Inferno]

I don't really ask for much, but I do want one thing:

MORE MATCHING HEADSTOCKS ON THE PRESTIGE LINE.

Or at least more unfinished headstocks on the maple boards. Like these:
