It's Tosin's signature. It's not actually white, kind of a pastel-blue.

Yeah I have a PRS like that too. They do a white base coat and then stain it sky blue over it, and you get those two contrasting colors. Its nice. The only thing I dont like is the Tortoise shell pickguard. A white pearl or something like that would have been so much nicer. Luckily there are custom pickguard makers out there for those who care enough. Plus it's my signature model so my opinion is irrelevant.

Any info on if the 7string jem will be limited or a normal production model? I would love to not have to scramble to try and get a limited guitar haha.

Little sneak preview...

Phew, lucky the text is in there or I wouldn't have known the colour. On a serious note, I look forward to NAMM. Then we'll find out what the bodies look like.
But really, cheers zimbloth :yesway:

Interesting that there will be no MIJ UV this year. That Jem 7 string sounds killer though.

Wenge fretboard on that Tosin Abasi sig sounds amazing

For the record, I do believe there were a number of years that the Lo Pro was out of service. It was discontinued on everything except the K7 starting in 2004, when the Edge Pro supplanted it. It vanished entirely when Ibanez kiboshed the K7 in favor of the Apex 1 in 2007. Then in 2010, when most Ibanez guitars graduated from the Edge Pro to the Edge Zero, the Universe (and apparently the Apex 1) reverted back to the Lo Pro.

(I'm pretty sure that's what happened. :shrug:)

My '07 Apex1 had the edge pro. Aren't they basically all the same anyways?

Yeah, this isnt that interesting of a topic, lets move on. I just recall mine having a Lo Pro, but if not its all good. The APEX100 definitely does.

There are some people on this site who would murder your extended family for saying that, but I'm not one of them. :lol:

However, no, there were several differences.

EDIT: :ninja:'d. Guess it's probably better to get on with the business at hand.

Though don't let it cross your mind that the Edge Pro isn't a good trem.

Because that thing kicks some serious ass.

Indeed, my RG1527 has an Edge Pro. Most comfy trem EVAR.

Why hasn't Max posted in here yet.... :squint:

I get the distinct impression that Max is taking a bit of a break. He's only got a smattering of posts in the past few weeks.

Maybe a mod could confirm though...?
