I'm assuming they're taking the cue from the RGD series.
But yeah, it's not my ideal position either. I'll probably bump it mid strum.

I like the way you think... but honestly, wouldn’t a 540PII be cooler, considering what’s already available in RG-land?

Whoa, I just looked one of these up. Pretty damn cool IMO. Would be awesome to see this model brought back but made to be a bit more modern looking.

I want that Ibanez AZ2204-ICM. But putting down 2k euros for it? Pass.

An Ibanez with SS frets! Am I reading that right?

All these look great, really GASing for one of those AZ models. Really interested in those Duncan pickups and what the fretboard radius is.

Yes, although to be fair, Ibanez has offered SS frets on some previous year's Prestige models (and some recent Premium's), namely the Prestige Uppercut series.

looks like there are a TON of AZ models
curious about 's-tech wood'
edit: would like to see a lot less pickguard options

Good catch! I didn't even notice that lol. Wonder what it is.

i'm not entirely sure how much i care haha
i saw polyphia using the protoypes a couple weeks back (definitely the best looking out of all of the protos as far as i'm concerned) and they got some of the best live guitar tones i've heard so i'm sure my wallet is going to be destroyed by these at some point
Nice to see an HSH RG J custom without the gaudy tree of life inlay, but man those 2 dots on the 12th look awful to me, not that I would be able to buy any of these regardless
Yea I'm definitely going to have to get one of the 24 fret AZ models. Those specs confirm a lot of what I was hoping for in them. It would be awesome if the s-tech wood means some sort of roasted maple, since that is how they appear to be.

AZ2204F-TAB (JPY 283,000)
AZ242F-TSG (JPY 135,000)
AZ242BC-DET (JPY 135,000)
AZ224F-BTB (JPY 135,000)
AZ224F-BIG (JPY 135,000)
AZ2204-ICM (JPY 226,000)
AZ2402-TFF (JPY 226,000)
I really want to get the HSS ones since I was craving for a guitar with that configuration the other day, though I wish it had 24 frets but either way it's still on my list.

The three HH models look really nice, it'll be interesting to see if any signature models will be released in the near future based off of the prototypes given to artists. The Polyphia guys are definitely deserving of some sigs, as are the dudes in CHON.
The pickguards though, they just look off proportionally. Mario's 24 fret one with a pickguard didn't look nearly as off, maybe it's due to the 24 frets of his.
