Ibanez 2019 New Stuff

[Ordacleaphobia]

Blame everyone's shitty picking technique.

Yeahhhh....sorry guys

I’m sorry the second you say anchoring and you hit the middle pup I blank out completely.

I file that under I can’t play a seven string because I need to wrap my thumb over and why have 24 frets it’s only 2 more notes.

This could be true. Although even when I lower the middle pickup to it's lowest point, it still looks ugly. I think it just looks very cluttered with a middle pickup. I like my guitar's electronics to be simple. Just like how I like having no tone knob, a volume push/pull, and a 3 way blade/switch.

Agree

HSH is dead. HS is where it's at boys. Move with the times duh!

I thought HS died in 94 when Ibanez canned the RG565?

It HAS to come back because I want one.

Have you considered the new JS models?

EDIT: There's also the Chon Erick Hansel sig, as well as the modding an RG550 with a HS pickguard option.

I know, I just don't like pickguards.
JS models are straight up ugly.

Only ERG HSH are ugly.

Pickguards are cool af.

The second I figured out the JS doesn't even have an angled headstock, it died for me.

I don't like pickguards for practical reasons though. I tend to bump into them alot when I play while moving on stage. I also have that irrational fear of slitting my wrist on one and bleeding to death. Fight me.

Ibanez's direction is being picked by a bunch of weirdos.

I have never heard of anyone saying anything like that about a pickguard. I'm kind of amused.

HSH is king. Give me more UVs, TAM10(0)s, and don't dis the OG Saber shape. Joe is keeping her alive and I'd like to keep it that way in hopes of a reissue.

Do...do you know what a pickguard looks like? How do you "bump into" a pickguard on an RG? It sounds like your fear is a bit misguided....although to be fair, you did say "irrational"...

 

[Sogradde]

What do you mean? I can't be the only one who gets stuck on the edge of a pickguard..? :/

Drunk windmilling or what?

Any benefits of an angled headstock are negated by the locking nut and full-length 3-piece construction.

I don’t notice any issues with straight headstocks; in fact, I prefer them. As for the pick guard, you’d have to have a pretty weird technique to even notice it. But whatever floats your boat!

 

[Sogradde]

I know you guys are making fun of me but it is what it is.
My preference for angled headstocks is an aesthetic one.
