Ibanez 2015 - New Models & NAMM Thread

[Shimme]

If you are speaking about the blue prestige 8 string, it's not a wenge neck. It's a maple neck with 2 small wenge stripes, like they have done on prestige 7 and 8 strings for a couple of years. Like that :

Yeah I really misread that... that makes me a little sad. Cool to see the Wenge/Bubinqa necks start to show up on guitars that don't cost north of 4 grand though.

I dont think anyone has mentioned this. Anyone even want this? I personally was hoping for a k7 reissue or something;(

 

[mcsalty]

Just in case you didn't already want that ziricote-topped RG

 

[Vehuel]

Why the hell all thoses reissues are mostly premium models ? :/

I'd like good japanese prestige models, overall for the UV and JEM reissues

 

[Forkface]

They will release release a premium 7 model with a wenge / bubinga neck this year though, the rg927wzcz

I get a feeling this will be non-US market only...

I like the look of guitars with Wenge neck! Really great, but a luthier told me that this wood was grainy so the felling would be special.

Hurry, an 8 string Prestige model with Wenge neck!

The RG927WZCZ featured on the cover looks looks much different and beautiful than the one shown inside the catalog.

From the other pictures I was not really interested but now I am gassing hard for this one. I am finding myself not getting along with the longer scale of the rgd2127fx lately and this might be an option. Let's see it in person

It is different that's for sure, but not necessarily uncomfortable. You can definitely feel the grain.

Do you have said catalog? Pretty please?

Edit :

Just found a picture of the back of the Ziricote topped premium. This is just beautiful.

 

[Sepultorture]

god damn please make a wenge prestige 7 neck one day ibanez, i would die happy

 

[PBGas]

Agreed!

Gonna be hard to resist that ziricote top RG7 if the top looks as good as in the catalog photo.

That's pretty sick. Not sure it's headed to the US.

Supposedly DiMarzio is announcing soapbar pickups at NAMM.

But still not what i'm looking for aesthetically. I would put some white open coil Ionizers in there. unless they make metal, or white soapbar covers, then it's still a no go for me.

 

[RickSchneider]

there are definately not enough black guitars in this year's lineup.

As much as you say that, the wenge topped 752 doesn't really tickle my fancy and as someone earlier said, if there was a plain painted maple fretboard guitar I would be ALL over it... Even if it was black

wow that specific grain on the ziricote top rg looks insane. Will definitely get one of this though i might pick a specific grain pattern i like.

I'm normally not one for natural burl....

But good god that actually really looks awesome. looks like a marbled top.

 

[Lorcan Ward]

That is nice!!!!

Some new pics:

The Ziricote veneer on this isn't half as nice as the catalogue photo.

 

[gorthul]

I still am struggling to decide between that color of the 7421PB, or the blue one.
