I really wanna see the full line of S prestige guitars. I'm assuming they're all bolt on Nick? No set neck or neck through prestiges like they had coming out of Korea in the early 2000's?

Those 2228s with Gibraltars look really sweet. And an RGD that came stock with Aftermaths would pretty much be a must-buy for me. I thought Schecter had my money for sure with that Avenger 8 but now I don't know!
As for 9-strings, they seem a bit silly to me but I've never played one so what do I know. I'd love to try one out at some point.

I could totally do that, but then I'd also have to delete all the posts from the dealer that's been hyping new stuff coming from a brand they sell throughout the entire thread and ban him, potentially for good

I dont see why having official packs of 9-string strings is at all necessary. You can just order individual strings from just about any store out there. All you do is order a bass string and you're good to go. I know when I've owned 8s, I would rock a set of 9s and a 68 or 70 on the bottom. With the baritone scale that felt good to me. So I guess for a 9 you could just add on a bass .090 or something and you should be good to go. I like JustStrings.com
Personally though, to me 9-strings are absolutely ridiculous. I cant understand why anyone would want or need one. Nonetheless we have one of them on order, so we'll see. To me even 8-strings are just BARELY comfortable enough to play. I think 7-strings cover plenty of range for 99.9% of people out there, and I would rather just get a baritone 7 and tune it down to F# to enjoy the added comfort of a 7-string neck rather than play an 8. But then you add a 9-string, thats basically a 7-string bass neck width which is massive. I'm sure a few folks out there will find a use for it, I just cant imagine notes that low sounding good at all. To me "F" is about the cut-off where things just start to sound weird. Just my
US residents don't realize how much hard some stuff is.
Here in Italy is not normale to go in a shop and find 7 strings packs.
8 strings packs...no way.
If you go to a store, even the biggest in Roma, don't expect to find a Tam or an M8M to try, if you want it, you must order it.
Finding particular strings gauges for low strings is HARD.
About the surf table neck of a 8-9 strings.
I feel more comfy on the RG2228 neck than on the Schecter Demon 7's one
As we have been saying about pick ups it's a matter of hands and preferences.
I agree with the point that anything under the F1 is overkill, so again I'm totally for a high A, which seems impossible on a non fanned fretboard

What do you think the potential size of the high-9-string market is? Maybe 10% of the size of the low-9-string market? There's no way that's a good development decision.

to be fair the ENTIRE 9-string market is like 11 dudes

I was thinking the same thing. TBH, I'd be the guy trying to tune it higher.

Maybe this is something for the guys who were complaining about the RG shaped 7 strings
Yeah tuning up would not work well with a 28" scale. It would be best to have a fanned fret for that.
Lots of nice new acoustics actually.
They'll be bolt-ons yeah.

Haha, yeah I've never once asked to be a moderator nor would I want that job. You guys do a good job as is. If mods prefer I not share information about Ibanez stuff here, I am totally fine to stop. I just figured people would enjoy it, especially with some misinformation posted on here that I've been able to correct. It's not like I'm linking to my website or anything

It might have been if it were actually new, but that acoustic has been out for several months. There have been at least 3 NGD threads for them.

Dunno about the top one, but I doubt the bottom one is. It has the old "new style" Gibraltar bridge with raised shoulders and channels in the rear end of the plate.
That would be cool... as a 7
which again underlines differences in USA's and EU's portfolio.

bottom one isnt new its an rga421 i believe they also made those in the gun metal gray finish and they were the most budget friendly rga .
