Ibanez 2024 NAMM

[Yul Brynner]

What are we going to see? I know Rich probably has a good idea. With the 2000s numetal coming back, are we going to get some juicy prestige SZ models?

 

[crushingpetal]

I'm in. No clue

 

[Yul Brynner]

I'm going to be honest, I thought the AZ was interesting when it first came out but the more they keep pushing it the less I like it. I'd rather have a plain RG or S or SA or SZ.

 

[RadoncROCKs]

I would love an S with a Gotoh tremolo or an AZ with an RG neck

 

[Yul Brynner]

Or a 22 fret S with a LoPro Edge.

 

[Mboogie7]

Lefty RG 770DX in neon purple. Pleaseeeeeee.

 

[Flick]

RG5000, fixed bridge, one bridge pickup. That’s my wish.

 

[OneTwoThrill]

Really really close isn't it?

Ibanez 2023 Models ! What would you like to see ?

I really hope they do something fun with the headless series. Right on man. I feel like we just have to wait until Vai digs in to one, then the tech and options will expand exponentially

@Alter Mann Some SZ's with less funky inlays would be cool. I was very close to buying a couple SZ's this year and last year but missed them.

My 2024 wish list (for now)
An RG 7 string with FX Edge III bridge and active pickups. Or at least an RG7421 type guitar with EMG's.

 

[HeHasTheJazzHands]

Aw man I'd be in on an SZ reissue. Probably one of the best PRS knockoffs.

 

[ThunderUnderground]

A 7 string PIA if they haven't released it already?

Other than that i have no idea, ive not bought a new Ibanez since 2007 so it doesn't effect me much anyway

This is all I want. Anything else is icing on the cake.

I only want a 7 string PIA because I don't want to spend 8 grand on a 7-string Anderson next year

Personally, with 8 grand i would just absorb as many 22 fret square heel 80's bad boi's as possible

Im always hoping for a Roadstar reissue or something but i know it wont happen.

 

[Hollowway]

Sure, I'm in. I'll place it all on "Ibby skunk works dept releases some more crazy designs."

I'm a sucker for that stuff. Ashula, SR7viiSC, you name it, I'm wanting it.

 

[Concerto412]

Genesis-series S540. 22 frets, Edge/LoPro, HSH, block heel or AANJ (although they’d have a better time moving them with AANJs).
Bonus points for maple board and cayman green finish to reissue the S540M.
*drops fistfull of Pennies into wishing well.

 

[Bloody_Inferno]

Honestly, I've reached the point where it doesn't matter what they release, as long as it surprises me.

They already do that in the Bass Workshop department, so I'm hoping they treat the Axe Design Lab line in the same vein. That and some more cool acoustics.

Full reissue of the original 540 line up, tell satch to beat it.

True. I'm always thinking about the ones with dots. I keep forgetting they were first releasing them with claw marks and flame ball inlays to be competitive with schecter.

I honestly don't get why Ibby doesn't try the AZ hardware/electronics/wiring on an RG shape...

As for what I expect...

PGM100 reissue in cobalt blue and pink
