You say this like you were a bona fide endorser; Mr Petrucci, is that you?![]()
No, just a fanboy. I bought enough of them they should have given me a freebie, tho.

I still feel that a middle range Ibanez Prestige, or ESP Standard still beat out entry level American made guitars.
Premiums? Ugh. So glad I left Ibanez.
I woudln't put the pretiges at the same level as ESP standards though.
Just as I feared...more Premium models to eventually replace Prestige models.
Sorry, I just can't bring myself to buy an Ibanez made anywhere other than Japan. I bet they're making a killing off the "Premium" guitars. Indo/cheaper production + selling at Prestige prices must = killer profit margin.
*flame shield up* to be quite honest i agree with you i feel that the only thing premium about the premiums are the price tags, i mean they go for 899 but you can get a MIJ 3250m for only 1399 i mean sure its a 500 dollar difference but with that you get dimarzio's the original edge zero, MIJ quality, super wizard prestige neck profile, and a maple board... so i don't think that the features on them warrant picking one up instead of spending the 500 extra for the top end prestiges.

They are branded as Premiums, so probably close to $1k. The biggest factors are going to be the number of them made, if there will be any more colors, and if they'll come with a lot of goodies.
Either way, these are going to be far from expensive.
I had a feeling it'd be a stupid insane price.
Then again will these even be released in the States? Or a Euro release only like a lot of the ESP catalog?
Oh, but no doubt Ibanez misses you sooo much! For the love of god, please go back to them. I hear they are lost without you.
