Ibanez 2015 - New Models & NAMM Thread

[porknchili]

I wonder if the RG 852 is cancelled, because it was available on American Musical, and two italian websites... since 3 days now, the disappeared!

Uh.... Below

The dealer who posted the guitar (American Musical) probably was asked to take it (and several other new Ibanez guitars) down because it wasn't supposed to be announced until NAMM.

"The dealer who posted the guitar (American Musical) PROBABLY was asked [...]"

Guys do you think the maple 8 string prestige with blue burl top will be cancelled ??

Don't be ridiculous. This happens EVERY YEAR. A website posts shit early, takes down the listings after a couple days, reposts it after NAMM. It makes less than no sense to ask if it's cancelled, NAMM hasn't even started yet.

Just wondering, I'm not omniscient !

[weirdoku]

Prepare yourselves Americans: note there's no wedge-necked Premium on that website. It might not be coming stateside.

 

[Mike570]

I'm guessing non-sig Premiums are dead in the USA?

yeah i had a feeling it would go down like this. They had a wenge premium last year and it didn't come to the US, kinda expected the same to happen this year.

I think that, besides the signature guitars, we will not see any premiums in the US anymore.

For those of you who care to see a real life photo, I have an ARZ 8-string here for a testdrive right now:

It's a fun guitar.

Gosh, there are so many gorgeous 7's this year, but I want an 8 so bad. There are some great 8s, but some of the new ones are just 8-string vesrions of previous 6/7s. The only thing keeping me from the Iron Labels is EMGs and their routing.

That RG852 prestige blue burst burl is cheaper than a similar Carvin I spec'd out though. GAS overload

WANT. SO MUCH WANT. But I dunno if I cant truly justify that price. I'm on the fence about that, but damn is that guitar sweet.

Maybe it's just me, but I'm utterly disappointed in this year's seven string line up for Ibanez. Some of the sixes and eights are really awesome I think. I really hope I can scrape together some money for Misha's Jackson sig. Ibanez got nothing on that.

I kind of agree. Ibanez does have some really cool stuff this year, but I'm really looking at ESP's and Jackson 7's. I'm REALLY impressed with the new Jackson 7's.

Ibanez did a pretty major overhaul last year, bringing back the Lo Pro 7 for Prestiges, the Jem 7V7, DCM100, Apex200, and the neckthru Iron Label.

This year they trotted out the PWH reissue, a new maple-board 7, natural veneers, and seem focused on pleasing the hardtail crowd. If they'd stop with the Edge Zero on everything non-Prestige, the lineup would be pretty killer top to bottom.

I suspect that upon release, everyone and their mother is going to get one.
