Ikebe posted a bunch of these recently, one of the nicest prestige Ibbys imo.

Was pretty tempted by the purple 752 a while back, but this looks infinitely better. Do want. :yesway:

Edit: The sad bit being that this probably won't be available in Canada, with my luck.

Looks exactly like the ones The Axe Palace are getting in! I'm going to own one of these holy shiiiiiiiiiit


EDIT: Yeah, this is kind of annoying because it seems like their "limited run" is based exactly off of the Axe Palace's limited run announced back in March.

Super Nice!

I like when Ibanez uses the brighter color palettes, its a nice change from all the earth tone stuff they've been putting out for the last few years.

No opinion on it, just thought this was funny (from the product description):

"Axe Palace exclusive limited run Ibanez RG752MQFX Prestige 7-string (Trans Aqua Blue). This is truly a one of a kind opportunity to own a custom shop Ibanez like you have never seen before! Only 12 of these guitars are being produced." And yet here we are :lol:

Considering these are '29840.54' converted to US Dollars, it is not unlikely these are not part of the same run, or are still pretty limited? These are obviously not as accessible by price as serial RG752s.

Yeah I'm sure one of the largest music stores in Japan that has offered previous models in that exact color that does limited runs of various brands got the idea from The Axe Palace...

These look to be about $1800 and change + shipping at the current exchange rate... they're 183,750 yen for non-Japanese customers according to the Ikebe website

Almost pulled the trigger for one of these, but no trem no guitar for me. These look amazing however and I almost regret not going for one!

Hey I haven't been into this for a while so I don't know all of the specifics, just found it kind of odd haha. Still looks like TAP is the place to go as far as getting one of these in North America.

I ordered mine back in March, seeing what the actual guitar looks like fills me with joy! TAP is putting a BKP Miracle man in the bridge for me, so when it gets here it will sound absolutely crushing! :hbang:

Here's one of the earlier Japanese-only six string models in the color. There were several other variations but they sold out a while ago.

That's a sick guitar, I'm a little interested in the other run that's happening posted in the dealer section with the Orange/Yellow (?? Can't recall) finish with a trem. I got a Prestige in recently and it's pretty easy to forget how sick an Ibanez can be.

This is BEAUTIFUL. And hardtail!!

This may make me rethink Ibanezes. Never once played one I felt was worth the price. Prestiges felt like $500 guitars to me. How are the newer ones?
