Ibanez 2013

[Lorcan Ward]

Now would be a perfect time for Dimarzio to release a 7 string Gravity Storm set to go with that Jem.

I presume its Basswood body, maple and walnut/wenge neck, rosewood fingerboard?

Yes!

I've been saying the same thing. Would poop myself (in public) for a 7-string version of the GS's, and I think putting them in this new Jem would be a smart move.

 

[LordHar]

I believe I've read somewhere the body wood is Alder.

 

[tedtan]

Do we know any of the other specs on the JEM7V7? What's kind of wood is the body, Basswood or Alder?

The 6 string version has an alder body, so if this is true to spec, it should have alder as well.

HQ pics of RGD2127FX please

I sent a message to Larry asking if they have any plans.

I believe I've read somewhere the body wood is Alder.

If it is alder then I'd be really interested in getting one. Just hope its not the same price as a J-custom 7.

^^That is exactly what I was looking for the last year by this time. (rgd fixed)

SWEET! But, how is this different than the current rgd 7421?

Looks like a better bridge and it will be higher quality since it's a Prestige guitar.

 

[Sepultorture]

also the difference is that it's prestige, and if you have ever touched a prestige you know what the details will be like, plus it's an RGD, the only real difference is the tight end bridge, comfier than gibralter, and no trem annoying like the ZPS edge trems

Oh, i couldn't make the "prestige" out. I wonder what this will sell for.

Dude, don't stop! Prestige S7 gogogogo!

Seriously though, thanks for these pictures!

 

[skisgaar]

I think I just pooped. Ibanez are going to steal the fucking show at NAMM this year. Un-fucking-believable.

 

[Xaios]

Actually yeah, I really want to see an S7 Prestige pic.

The RGD2127FX will MAP for $1499 w/ case.

I wish I could but Ibanez has told us not to. I'm sure our friend from Brazil here will leak it momentarily. Like I said earlier in the thread though, it looks EXACTLY like the 6-string version except hum/hum. Use that imagination \m/

The guitar better be PHENOMENAL for that coin. It also BETTER come with real Dimarzios. If it comes with the ibanez knock-offs, that will be absolutely ridiculous.

The original RGD2127z has been around for a while at $1599, and it has the same specs minus the bridge. So no, no real Dimarzios, but it is a phenomenal guitar. Worth the money. MIJ, hardtail, 26.5" scale, one volume knob, convenient toggle switch. For me, after a set of BKP Warpigs or Dimarzios, it's the perfect guitar.

THIS

and also take into consideration that Nick said MAP, which isn't actual retail, which by the looks will be much lower

thank fuck

parting with 1700+tax for the RGD 2127 here in canada is a tad ouch, but this will more than likely be lower by maybe $150-$200

Ibanez wins SO hard this year!
