I work at a mom and pop store, and we've got our 2013 catalog already, there's some really cool stuff on the way.

The only white Iron Labels are 6 strings unfortunately...

I'm certainly not complaining, but I was kind of secretly hoping, Ibanez would make a 7-string version of this:

Maybe next year :)
(for this year they evoked already more than enough GAS for me)

So wait, what is the difference between a JEM and a Universe? Up untill now I was under the assumption it was the 6 & 7 string difference but that seems to have gone out of the window....

Monkey grip

Jem is usually alder, has the top 4 frets scalloped (I don't remember the uv's having them at least), has a monkey grip and lions claw and usually the vine inlay. The disappearing pyramids sort of became a UV thing after awhile.

I don't remember seeing this in the thread, and there's no way I'm going through 50 pages to check, so:

Hardtail Iron Label S7

・Nitro Wizard-7 3pc Maple/Bubinga neck
・Mahogany body
・Jumbo frets
・Bound rosewood fretboard
・Gibraltar Standard-7 bridge
・Cosmo black hardware
・DiMarzio® PAF® 7 pus

I'm not familiar with those pickups, but that is one seriously fine looking 7.

oh ok. they're decent for heavier shite then?

The PAF7s are not very good. Very dry and bright, low output but not warm. Theyre passable but definitely should be replaced IMO.

White D-Activators would probably look nice in there anyway :yesway:

Yeah but D-Activators sound kind of bland to me. Really thin on the high-end, not much character. I like the Blaze, Evolution 7, Crunch Lab better in terms of DiMarzios. Obviously as a BKP fan, my choice for my S7 Prestige will probably be the Black Dogs or perhaps the Blackhawks.

The European catalog linked to a couple of pages back confirms the 7 string Jem has an alder body.

Wait, in that european catalog, all the models that were named differently in the US and the EU, like RG927 and RG827, are now listed under their US name. Does that mean Ibanez will stop this whole thing and sell exactly the same models in the US and the EU?
