Ibanez 2012: The Thread

[johnythehero]

I don't know if there is any validation to this, but when I was at Sam Ash talking to one of my friends that work there about the meshuggah sig and I wanted a price check and he said that the iceman was around 1,700 and the rg was about 3,000 so if thats true then an iceman 8 will be a reality.

 

[Stealthdjentstic]

Are you sure he didn't mean a re-issue?

Why won't ibanez release a 7 string destroyer, or a 7 string iceman, not this garbage.

YES!

And this for good measure

^^^ If they bought out a MIJ desert yellow 7 string exactly like the one above, I honestly, no BS, would buy it in a heart beat!!!!!!!!!!!
Why won't Ibanez do this!? Surely I'm not the only one!?

I'm actually pretty disappointed with the new 2012 guitars. I was really hoping for a MIJ RG 7 string with a maple board... I guess I'll just have to keep waiting patiently (I realise there was the RG1527m that could be bought second hand, but finding one in Australia is very unlikely).
Plus the 25th anniversary RGs are premiums and the 25th anniversary Sabres are Indo

^ They don't make 'em for Australia. We got them in very limited quantities when they very first came out, so they're very rare to find second hand here - believe me, I've looked!

(I realise there was the RG1527m that could be bought second hand, but finding one in Australia is very unlikely).

I've found a few in some music stores, and they were selling some cheap (Australian standards anyway). You can always go to the distributor (Australis Music) and try to order one.

Or you can do what I did and go to Japan and buy one for under 800AUD.

Could probably get one used from the US for cheaper than the inflated AUS prices.

 

[Bloody_Inferno]

^ Yeah that too. Much better alternative. Cheapest I've seen was 1100 with retail over 2500.

I'm in Tasmania so my chances of finding one in a store are slim to none.
I've checked out some mainland stores: Ibanez Guitar Centre and all the other major ones, but haven't had much luck. Haven't heard of Australis Music before. I'm gonna check it out now!!!

I'm a bit scared about the shipping and not knowing which shops are legit etc. Seems too risky to me. Knowing my luck something would go wrong, lol.

Or this

Kens Ibanez's are sooo nice.. I'm going to wait and hope they release an S7 Premium in the next year, but it'd be nice to see any more S7's, especially MIJ. Also, I really like how on the S Premium they're switching to a toggle, which basically makes it perfect IMO.

 

[BucketheadRules]

And this for good measure

Oh, oh wow.

I want to do this to my 7321 now, thanks a lot

Hey can someone tell me if the new Premium RG821-BK will be available in the U.S. market? It's the only new guitar I want from them, and with it's $750 price tag, I couldn't be happier.

Any insight? If it's euro only I'm going to fucking kill something.

 

[Fiction]

The 1527M at my local store is $2200 marked down from $3300. I love Australia.

I think you converted from euro instead of pounds. It's probably over $900.

 

[L1ght]

great

 

[Triple-J]

I'm not sure if anyones spotted this yet but the musicradar website has posted pics and UK prices for most of the 2012 models here....NAMM 2012: Ibanez unveils 28 new electric guitars | Premium Series RG821-BK | MusicRadar.com

 

[L1ght]

Yeah that's where I was getting my price. Is that squigly thing before the price euros or pounds?

Also are those both U.S. and Euro models being released?

 

[Dooky]

Which store is this? Is it still for sale?

That's pounds.

 

[L1ght]

So then 750 sounds about right? Or will it be mores?
