Im' to the point if they come out with the specs or close to what I want in an RGA Prestige I might just paint it if I don't care for the paint. Otherwise I may begin a custom build from parts I have been sitting on for years.

I don't care, I'd buy it. Hell I'd buy one and have it professionally refinished like a few people have with the JBM models.
They're amazing modding platforms for those who want an RGA prestige, sadly though they are hard to find used and at a price I'm willing to pay. A JBM100 is still on my bucket list of guitars to own though.Hilariously, there's more modded JBM100s out there than standard ones...

If this "BIG" news is a line of headless guitars I'm done with Ibanez. I'm already slowly jumping ship to other brands like Music Man, but I'm giving one more NAMM a shot.
Multiscale 7 string headless RBM model, or Ibanez truly gives no fucks about the ERG community and thinks we’re cheap whores......
I think I have an Idea about it, there was an event in Germany where was announced the new CUSTOM SHOP option of Ibanez, it will consist on J-Customs that we can order with our own wood choice, hardware and color choice, the only thing that can't be change is the tree of life Inlay, it will be made by Sugi luthiers and estimated price range will be 5-7K, which is a shame by ibanez to offer such as limited CUSTOM SHOP Option, at least it will be part of the BIG Surprise.I saw the recent post from Guitar World on the NAMM 2020 predictions and they had this to say about Ibanez:
- The company has already announced a reissue of John Frusciante's favorite WH10 wah, but there is BIG news coming from Ibanez for 2020. We can’t say anything more, but rest assured, fans of the top-tier Japanese guitar builder will not be disappointed.
Does anyone wanna guess what this "BIG" news might end up being? We already got a tease of the headless multi scale bass from them, my first thought was that maybe....maybeeee.....they're considering doing a headless guitar? Wishful thinking I know, but...
Hype train has begun.
No it’ll have abalone inlays of abalones, with mother of pearl binding on a puke bust Burl veneer too, just to spite BC Rich and further screw those of us that just want an awesome guitar....Wish granted, but it's only available in a black finish with whatever fretboard wood you don't like.![]()
I agree, an ibanez is not ibanez without his headstock.Pretty much what @Vyn said. Also the fact that the wizard headstock is just so iconic for me, it's hard to get rid of that. An Ibanez without a headstock, is not an Ibanez in my eyes. I know I'll get shit for this statement, but it's just how I view Ibanez. Ibanez has played a huge role in my guitar journey and I know it has to many, many others. I actually really liked the AZs though. I think they nailed that Suhr type while still feeling like you are playing an Ibanez. I didn't believe it though until I actually played one and I felt right at home with it.
EDIT: I'm already waiting for the reply of the headless Ibanez from the 80s was it?
Who says that the headless bass is not already the BIG news?I saw the recent post from Guitar World on the NAMM 2020 predictions and they had this to say about Ibanez:
