Ibanez NAMM 2016

[A-Branger]

pretty cool clip

but why this RGA has black sides and back???, imo this looks 1280174times better than the mahogany natural brown shown in any other RGA model

maybe an early prototype? still look heaps better, it gives more character to the guitar, and tides up well the grey/white/black theme of it, brown doesnt mix well in there

Here's the full demo of the RGDIX7 SBB

I'm glad to see the return of the RGA I may pick up one for modding

 

[kevdes93]

Not too much standing out for me this year, The rosewood top RGD6 isn't in the US catalog and neither is the blue prestige S. Might grab the RGA732 for mods but other than that I'm a little let down personally

 

[Decipher]

I don't think the '16 Catalogue is all that disappointing....
1.) Glad to see the DCM100 is not a limited run and a production guitar! Now I can get a second one haha.
2.) Some really beauty new finishes for the electrics, the basses and the "vintage" stuff looks pretty awesome!
3.) 7 string acoustic is gone.... Glad I got one.
4.) The E-Jack intonation tool is in the NA catalogue so I will definitely be ordering one of those.
5.) I'm surprised no new Vai or Satriani stuff.... ?
6.) A couple of Prestige 7's with Maple fretboards!
7.) The return of the RGA's...... Now all those people who have been whining/wishing/promising to buy these if they came back better own up and buy the .... out of them!

WHERES THE STEVES?!?!?!?!

 

[Ze_F]

My guess is (my hopes rather...) there will be some reveal event in a few hours, at NAMM's opening. So, limited editions, a UV maybe. Abasi's new Beluga ? less likely.

 

[cardinal]

Surprised the Jem 7V7 is gone. Where's this swirl UV? But that new prestige 7 is rad.

 

[Webmaestro]

I'll take one

So glad this model has come into existence. It may just be the first NEW Ibanez I've bought in 10+ years.

 

[Spicypickles]

Tis hot indeed.


What kind of pricing does that pig have?

 

[theFraz]

I find their lack of multiscale disturbing

Yeah maybe Vai's just not up yet.

I know right? Even ESP have some new multiscales this year.

 

[PunchLine]

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

Hey, please try this:

US website
EU website
Japan website

Although not new, that Destroyer (DT520FMCSR) looks yummy.

It looks like there is a new EGEN in orange finish. Am I mistaken? (The TK had to pass there really quickly. Go ahead take all the time in front of Nita's poster! )

Roadcores no more; Talmans galore!

 

[lucidguitar]

Yeah, but all the cool new colors are the standard models. They added a few Ash bodies to the Prestige Talmans but thats it. I mean the butterscotch blonde Talman tele that they have is quite nice... but I want the middle pickup to dial in so I'll just have to buy another 1803. Too bad they didn't give that one a new color.

Also the RG752AHM and RG652MPBFX are two new additions that I like. The rest... meh. But I'm glad they kept around some of the models from last year.

 

[Adam Of Angels]

This is the first time I've seen so few new Prestiges from Ibanez at NAMM.

 

[TheShreddinHand]

The 752AHM looks great, but correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't the 652AHM that was announced last year still incredibly difficult to get a hold of? And if I recall, Rich had a ton of issues with the initial ones he got with terrible fret ends and so forth.

 

[HeHasTheJazzHands]

I take it back on the swirls.

I usually dont dig swirls but those are pretty sex
