Ibanez NAMM 2016

[Paincakes]

Site looks updated to me from here: Electric Guitars | Ibanez guitars


RG752AHM

Edit: on the US site, the S5521Q is only listed in "Dark Purple Doomburst"...

Pity, I was eyeing the Transparent Aqua Blue from the EU catalog leak

 

[ThomasUV777]

God I hope that RG752AHM hits the european market

 

[HeHasTheJazzHands]

Oh wow, the RGA32 series is back.

ALso, the rumors were true.

And DAAAAAAAAYUM

More vintage-friendly ARZ

It's a standard series, but this is interesting.

I see no swirl JEM/Universe, RGA6, or TAM8 FF

Yeah... the flat blue looks very nice!!

Also... how do we change the site's region? I'm stuck at USA it seems.

Edit: found the EU site: http://www.ibanez.com/products/eg_top16.php?area_id=3&year=2016&cat_id=1

The S5521Q in Transparent Aqua Blue listed in EU but not US site:

God I hope that RG752AHM hits the european market

I asked MEINL yesterday...nope no plans for that model right now. Somethimes I think that the european productmanager choose the EU-catalog blindfolded, maybe they to a lottery... I hope there may be a prestige dealer model in summer

ALso, the rumors were true.

Only the internet can properly express my feelings now.

Even if I saw this coming, I REALLY didn't need to see these right now...

...my poor bank account.

 

[Santuzzo]

the only one model I dig right away will probably not be available in Europe. Nice!

 

[HoneyNut]

The new Canada website doesn't have the 'Change Your Region' option anymore.

Of course haha, it's always the way they do things. Just have to hope they eventually do sell it in EU.

At least you guys get some decent wood choices with the cheaper models as well.

 

[A-Branger]

wow they eliminated a bunch of stuff in the AUS site

daaam that blue S prestige, shame is not sell here, but again would be too expensive for me.

after a look, I can see the "brown" theme is still there, but not as strong as before. But now it seems the new thing is to have mahogany natural brown back and side bodies. Not too bad, but it doesnt really work for some top colors

glad to see we have the RGA iron label here is 99% what I want for a 7 string yaay

and for basses I must say I have been watching for years and years Ibanez trying to get used to the idea of "liking" what its available, as nothing as really caught my eyes, every color combination for the Premium line is been awful for my taste, (except maaaaaaybe one model? ), and forget about the Prestige line, they had been stuck with that wenge/wenge/wenge bass since the beginning of times. But FINALLY they release a premium bass wood/color combo Im more than happy to trow my money at it!!! and just when I had my eye on the BTB33.... guess Id have a GAS conflict then.

and a quick look into the SR line on the US site and I must say WTF???, someone needs to comeback to design school, some terrible color choices there, uuhhggg. Cant understand how someone surpervising the new models had a look at it and said "yup, Its beautiful"

it makes no sense to me
I am pretty sure that blue-greenish 7 with the maple fretboard would sell well anywhere, not just in the US.

Sometimes it's the other way around, and they have a very nice model only available on the EU market but not in the US (RG3727 for instance). I don't get that either ......

Yea honestly its pretty bad, worse then I was thinking it would be for us aussies actually. I'm not really into S series but only 1 prestige available, thats pretty sad.

They seem to be continuing with the black,brown and white theme, all the premiums and Iron Labels besides the RGD are those colors, geez.
