Ibanez NAMM 2020

Which equals LACS. Guarentee if they modded the paint, they made sure frets were good. Be it full LACS or modified by them, LACS covers all bases.

Sounds like an axiom with a LACS paintjob and fretwork then.

That's like going "No, that's not an orange, that's a cutie, a very specific type of orange that happens to be smaller" or:
Dude 1 "cool car bro"
Douche "it's a truck..."

Eh, try pulling that when selling it.

I can dress frets too, but I don't advertise the guitars I own or sell as being from a "custom shop", I just sorted things out.

I don't think it's nearly the nit-pick you're saying it is. Besides, isn't the more information the better?

If we really want to get nit-picky, if it doesn't have a LACS serial it's not actually a LACS. From what I've seen it tends to cut 50/50, some modded production stuff gets it and some don't. I have a feeling much of it comes down to the technician.

Have any more pics of the headless bass emerged other than the small product image and the Instagram stuff? Looks like that guy hasn't said anything else about it on Instagram.

Im now selling 4 of my 7 string guitars. Looking at Ibanez again and im wanting to see some extended range, evertune or hipshot style bridges. Some higher output pickups and gloss finishes. I feel like im being very picky with my next choice on guitar. My ultimate guitar has always been 7 string, 26.5 or 27 inch, reverse headstock, bridge pup, 1 vol no tone knob or toggle and preferably evertune or hipshot bridge id die happy to have this. Feel free to point me in the right direction lol

The Dino model has everything you said except it's got a LoPRo trem.

Less words more pictures. I was elected to lead not to read.

Soooooo...Ibanez bringing out marble swirls this year?

Also, this may be my favorite LACS ever.View attachment 75422

That looks too similar to the Frozen Ocean, although more dramatic

It's not that cut and dry. They do alot of custom bodies but they'll use a Fujigen neck, no reason to custom build a neck if they have available production necks that fit the overall specs. I've had plenty of prototype body guitars that had F necks and also full LACS protos where the entire build is LA. I think it comes down to what is ordered and what is available to use without building special.

This is blind speculation on my end, but I'm assuming the upcoming new Jems will reflect the new ones with Vai's artwork:

This seems to be the theory out there the most, although I did see a supposed catalog scan of what I think was a MII with almost “FP3” type art. I wouldn’t be interested in buying either but both looked really cool. Only thing I’d really want for myself is some type of new Universe that was Prestige level at minimum (but hopefully Sugi-made). I do really like these though.

I can't be alone in thinking Vai and Satriani's (non-music) artwork is utterly awful?.. I mean if they want to do childish doodles in their down-time they shouldn't let it stop them. But by the time you get to commercializing it, it kinda starts to matter.

Bet it won't matter. If vai shat on a plank of wood it would go up 10 grand in price. I mean, he's already bled on a few...

 

[jephjacques]

I don't hate that first one. And art is subjective, if a guy can sell a banana taped to a wall for 180 grand, I don't begrudge Vai doing abstract doodles on a Jem and selling it

It's definitely not my thing, either of them, but I don't think I'm qualified enough to say either way if it's objectively good art, which I don't think is really a thing anyway since it's such a subjective thing.

I don't think they're going for realism.

 

[Seabeast2000]

I mean, it doesn't get more "Artist's model" than that, amirite?

Linus Klausenitzer now posting about the new Ibanez Headless basses, sounds like they will be a production model for 2020 possibly?

Oof, that blue one is pretty.

 

[jephjacques]

I absolutely do not need another bass, but I want one of those things

HA! I knew about that one, my russian skills did not fail me
