holy shit, that thing is stunning
I don't like the knob placement+switch placement. Change it to normal+cosmo hardware+piezo+reverse headstock and I'd be all over that shit.
Yeah, Ibanez needs a custom shop for the public, now.

First, the picture was done with photoshop elements, a program I can barely stumble through. Also, seeing as there has been a good reaction to this, I'll probably shoot out more of these just for fun. Obviously, the guitar is for MY needs at the moment, so I didn't put piezo's or a reverse headstock or an ejection seat on it. It's meant to be a working mans guitar. Carved top for comfort & looks, mahogany for tonewood, the trem of the future (my prediction), logical location of controls for volume swells & switching, and 24 frets. This guitar is totally do-able, and could be affordable. No binding, multi-stage paintjob, expensive electronics (piezo's), figured top or inlay work, and the bolt-on neck ensures no glossy finish on the back to slow things down. Imagine.. a guitar designed so that the most money is spent on the bread and butter backbone of a tone-machine: Quality tonewood, premium pickups & pots, great neck, and an unbeatable trem. Yeah, you can get a Jem or a guitar from Ikebe with the basics as well, but wrapped in a package that costs three times as much & won't necessarily sound any better. Sounds like a winner of a combo. I think the Loomis model comes very close, and in fact would be a great head to head review with this guitar (If this guitar actually existed, that is). Oh well, we'll probably never see Ibanez produce a great working mans guitar like this, so it's likely just musical masturbation... - Rob

+rep for making a post that makes sense and says what I've been rying to say for AGES.

Yarrrrrr
the 6-string of that has been next on my list of guitars for a while now. If they made that 7 i'd jump on it in a heartbeat.

Yeah, some inlays look good on a guitar, but I would rather have no inlays than dot inlays... Very nice RG. 
I was thinking the same. Here on the forum are a lot of Ibanez lovers that will get a custom made guitar.

ibby will prolly never make that guitar because we all want it!!! but who knows new stuff soon from Ibby might be what we all need. the La custom shop will never be open to the public it is too small to handle volume...and also it is for R&D and endorse's of the "A" caliber.......
