well i fone day i really need to buy an awesome axe (more awesome that the 1990 UV777 i have scored recently) i am taking a flight to helsinki to go and try it out first!!!!!

yes they are really friendly. as i said they let me take all those pictures, they never raised an eyebrow, they were also really friendly when i was asking stuff about some of their gear, hell they even wanted me to try all those expensive stuff!!!

of course i decline due to combine fear of making a fool of myself (which i would have) and damaging the gear!!!



yes, indeed. i did not see the price tag, but for sure they are a bit pricey!!! stiil not an everyday guitar either, so...

3999.99 USD :\

@Paul...that's pretty steep...a mere 4,881.23 USD for us in europe though!!!

oh i see!!!!

well they have a dave mustaine model in black, oh and i wanted to ask our Ibbys experts

they have a Prestige with only 1 EMG bridge pickup. (in black of ocurse). i had never heard of such axe, did you?

This looks like a Ibanez RG2610ZBK. I recognized it because it comes with a Full Shred, my favorite Seymour pup.

thanks Dave. it looked pretty badass expecially with the black hardware, although i am not to found of the inlays!!!

Apparently being a limited run means they thought it'd be a stellar idea to price them beyond the means of most lefties rather than just a little above the RRP of the otherwise identical 'normal' versions. You could either get a custom or heavily mod an RG1527 for less! Oh well.

 

[ralphy1976]

i am pretty sure Roter would make you a fan fretted UV lefty for half that price, even with the inlays!!!!

 

[ma7erick]

I fell in love with the lefty steve vai signature model

 

[ralphy1976]

^ better start saving or ask "someone" to build you a replica!!!

 

[sami]

All I wanna know is that why aren't there shops (or more shops) that stock Ibanez's like this in the US!

 

[ralphy1976]

i thought you guys had shops like this at every street corner!!! you surprise me there dave!!!

 

[sami]

we have guitar center i.e. lack of 7 string respect.

I bought my s7320 and rg1527 from there! On both occasions they plugged them in to their Mesas without even asking. I was hoping that they'd plugged me in some cheap ass transistor amp instead of a loud-as-fuck 2k euro Mesa head and cab . All the guys I've talked with there are friendly, talkative and clearly know their shit. That's probably the reason why it's the only guitar shop I go to regularly for strings and stuff

No, no. We have a couple of shitty, half-assed guitar shops per city, not much that's actually worth while.

Am I in heaven? It's even more beautiful then I imagined

I should take the boat to Helsinki one day just to go there.
