Ibanez 2012: The Thread

[simonXsludge]

That S Premium is a perfect example of how to make a black guitar look great all around. I wish they would have taken this approach to the new 2228 with the DiMarzios. Throw a nice binding on a black guitar and it looks twice as good.

I might have to get one of those S Premiums, I was waiting for a nice one with no middle PU.

ok ill just be like everyone else. FUCKING AWESOME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I want that pink thing sooooooo bad!

 

[Grand Moff Tim]

That S Premium would be awesome if it had different pickups, more strings, a different color, different woods, different hardware, more frets, a different body, and a different price!





ily guys.

Not an official catalog model, but how about this one?

Ibanez RGA320z. Prototype model made for Kurosawa Gakki in Japan. Since it's a prototype, if it sells well it might make it's way for regular production?

Same specs as an RGA420z, but with a swamp ash body and Dimarzio Air Norton and Tone Zone. Priced at 168000yen, much cheaper than the RGA420

If that's not enough strings.. then how about this

Ibanez RGA327z . Same as the 320z but with an extra string. 178,000yen

Now gimme some well deserved good rep

That is mine! Right now. Hell yes im going off to buy that now

Passive pickups and routing just makes so much sense as there are so many more options there.

I wonder why EMG hasn't gone the SD route and made the 707 in passive-style housing?

 

[Prydogga]

Everybody buy these prototypes now and beg for more, just so they make more!

 

[KarlMagnusRobin]

Those RGA's... Damn.. I hope they do passives on the RGA8 this year, I would be all over it!

 

[MaxOfMetal]

frankly they should have done the same with the 565.

They did.

I meant make it a Premium/Prestige model.

More news:

Nothing too exciting.

More news:

That's one of the Ibanez styles I actually dig. I'm not digging on the gaping hole in the pickguard to make room for the pup selector, but surely they make another version of that guitar without it?


EDIT: lolnope. Just checked.

Non-prestige FR
Silverburst Glaive

Awesome. I want that FR

 

[vampiregenocide]

So far I'm liking what I'm seeing.

Just get a custom pickguard made, without the slot for the blade, maybe drill a hole in its place for a 3 way toggle. It would look sharp if done right.

I would probably take out the tone control, and put the toggle in its place (with a solid pickguard).

Or, a clear pickguard would look cool also, and leave the slot for the blade.

Yeah, I was thinking a custom PG without the slot, then just replacing the stock tone pot with a push-pull tone pot for pup selection. You're right about the clear PG, though, because the J-Custom FR (which is Japan only, of course) has a clear guard, and it looks MUCH better.

Tite-End on a non-Prestige? Sweet, though I'd love to see it on a Premium or more Prestiges.

Hope the new Prestiges will be sweet. Hopefully more Premiums will be announced, too.

 

[MaxOfMetal]

Can't say any of those are speaking to me.
