Ibanez 2019 New Stuff

[Nightside]

Macassar ebony fretboard, luminlays, mahogany body, fixed bridge RG7 MiJ in a color other than black with direct mount passives. Isn't that pretty much what SSO has always been begging Ibanez for?

I like it. On my list. Can't wait to see more.

That walnut prestige is boner fuel for me.

I hope to see it stateside.

It still won’t be good enough. We’re a picky group!

I like it though.

I hope they do a lo pro version of the 7 though. That blue RG3070 is the definition of a classy RG.

Interesting! Surprised that there are so many mahogany RG's (w/ no maple tops), very cool. I like the color choices as well.

This as a 7 would be so badass.

If only it had a 28.32” scale length. So close, yet so far away.

As always, the scale length spec begging. Pretty odd number you chose though.

I was just being a dick and made a random number up, suggesting that people would still find fault with this haha. I prefer 25.5” myself.

That looks killer, although...it looks more like Rosewood than Ebony, but whatever
Sounds like my ideal 7; I wish I played them enough to justify picking up another one haha. Converting from the Yen shows a price of around $1500ish too, which doesn't sound too bad considering Ibanez's recent MiJ pricing.

Wouldn't count on these coming to the US, or even Europe.

The only region still using the older four-digit Prestige naming scheme is Japan.

Perhaps they'll make a few changes for the export market...or they're going back to the old naming conventions for Prestige RGs.

EU still has the RG3775FZ and RG2550Z listed as of 2018.

Those aren't new models though. They're holdovers from 2014/2015, hence the Edge Zero.

More like 2008. I bought my RG2550Z-GK in 08.

The RG2550Z actually got a "refresh" in 2015 with new pickups and colors, as well as no more neck binding. There was also a spec change in 2010 for the switch to the HP series necks.

But yeah, that's probably the oldest model in the Prestige lineup.

Anyone think they just look cheap? That combined with the dimarzio "fusion" pickups make me wonder where these will land on the price point in the UK.

I want this so badly...

 

[AdenM]

Welp. Mahogany FX RGs make me mad I sold my 570 this year. If we see any of these stateside I see an Ibanez in my future.
