because they already have prestige and uppercut versions

the dir7 is a solid guitar, i've played a couple and aesthetically it ticks all the boxes for me

Never played a 26.5" guitar so I can't really comment, but isn't the body virtually identical save for the bevel? And with the arm contour on most modern RGs, a bevel isn't really necessary. They totally can, I just don't see a need for both.....which may be why we don't currently have any RGXLs
The difference with 27 versus 26.5 is fuck all in terms of fret width - that extra .5" is spread over all the frets, it's nothing. The tension difference for the same brand/gauge strings is noticeable though.

Your not! I find it very classy and elegant! It is like if you have black coffee and you put in your cream and it is settling and such. At least that is how I look at it

Don't do this to my heart. It can't take that much.

The gold RG is listed on Thomann. The price (1,849€/1,621£) is actually pretty tempting.

An MIJ 1077XL or 8 string would be extremely hard to pass up. The OG 1077XL is one of the best Ibanez models I’ve ever played.

Buys guitars, sometimes plays them
I've had dozens of Ibanez 7s, and that 1077XL is the one I miss the most. And I don't even really prefer 27" scales. It was just a very nice guitar somehow.

I'm glad there will be another FR in the line, was afraid they phase them out. I really like FR's and this new model will be mine!
I know there is currently an Uppercut model, but I don't believe there's been a normal Prestige since the 1620, no?

Technically the uppercut series is prestige, but yeah they haven't had any other prestige FRs since 2014 when the 1620 was out.

If they come out with a 7 string floyd model I might have to give that some consideration

Let's be honest, when was the last time Ibanez brought back models they haven't produced in over a decade? The most recent I could think of is the non-Gio AX models but those were only standard non-Prestige models. There's too much wishful thinking in this thread and I doubt they'd make any more Prestige models other than the ones they already have but in different finishes.
That said, I'd like them to bring back the X series since the Xiphos gets a lot of love here and I love the looks of the V-Blade, which they only made for a year.

I would buy a Xiphos if they brought it back. Especially reversed headstock.
must NOT have shark inlays though
