Ibanez 2023 Models ! What would you like to see ?

One plays better than the other...sign me up for AANJ every time.

I refuse to buy any Ibanez without the AANJ. Fuck block heel, it's one of the worst feeling neck heels on the market. It pained me so much having to skip the RGR565 run because of it.

Yeah, tilt joints suck. They make you look ugly. No one likes people who play tilt joint necks. Don't ever buy tilt joint necks. Ever. In fact, you should make sure no one buys them. Shout "boo tilt joint" from the roof tops. As a showing of my commitment against the evil tilt joint neck, I will happily accept any and all and keep them under lock and key so as not to hurt your feeble wrists.

You're welcome.

There's no difference in playability to me, but maybe I'd feel different if there was.

This is like a Doug DeMuro quirks and features. I love it.

"TTTTHHHIIISSSSSS... is a 1994 Ibanez RG670DX in Violet Metallic, and IT has the SUPERIOR neck joint shape."

GuiTARRRRRS and Bids!

Do you like neck throughs? I noticed a serious lack of neck through options out there compared to bolt-on's now. I can't even remember the last one i've played.
Since a lot of people think the guitar doesn't affect the tone, I'm surprised more neck throughs are not available since it's obviously the best construction for high fret playability.

It's also the most expensive option, and least flexible. You need longer billet and have to move the whole guitar down the line.

Most bolt-on, and even set necks, the necks are built on one line, while bodies another, and then mated later.

Bolt-ons also make rework easier, and allow for single SKUs over multiple models with little, if any, change needed.

... I guess it depends on hand size. I vote for this as well, but I doubt Vai or Gilbbert would find them to be substantially different...

I have bitch mittens for hands and don't notice much if any difference between my tilt and AANJ guitars.

To be honest, I don't recal ever playing a square heel Ibby, but the simple looks of it scares me...

 

[RevDrucifer]

Hahaha I used to have a hard preference for the AANJ over the original neck joint but then I started playing Les Pauls and don’t give a shit anymore.

Just bought a 2023 RG550 last night, with tilt joint.
Come at me bro

Looks like a hit a soft spot on ol Max. You're doing god's work playing one of the worst neck heels on the market.

The best Ibanez guitars have them, so even if it's ugly, it's worth it since I'm magic and can play them without my hands falling off.

Again, please don't play them and especially don't buy them. I rather they stay cheaper and unwanted.

I honestly don't find them ugly, I find them unplayable. Truly unbelievably uncomfortable. But hey, you're right, more for you and those who can actually stand them

 

[Crungy]

I'm just gonna leave this here since I don't mind either Ibanez heel

I just can't imagine a Green Dot or Floral or JS or 540S being unplayable.
