New 27 fret Xiphos

[tr4c3]

Overall: Not a bad guitar, especially for the price. Easy access to all frets and pickups sounded pretty decent. I love wizard necks so of course it was comfy as hell and perfect for shred/whatever. I would probably buy this if I wasn't on the hunt for more strings.

Here's me looking badass:

Nice pose! ... did the guys let you step on their amp? haha .... the guitar in the photos does not look bad at all ... looks really nice!!! .... is the quality control ... any good? Fret's?

God.... I would be all over that thing if it wasn't Indonesian shit.

(Not saying all imports suck, but I would want it as a main guitar that I could really rely on and beat the crap out of)

 

[tr4c3]

Everything seemed decent on it. This one was unfortunately not set up since it was getting shipped back (they didn't get sent everything so it didn't get to go on the floor). I'm there too much so I get special treatment lol. I forgot to state that I was playing it through a line 6 1x12 and it still sounded pretty decent (the guitar haha).

It could be a beat up guitar .. but i think the price would be pretty for a Xiphos 27 ... but from the photos it looks nicely made .....

I must also state that I now wish my rg had 27 frets

Yeah, I absolutely love the shape and style of the guitar, so I wouldn't want it as a beater. I would totally be willing to pay more for a Prestige version with a non-Edge III trem and decent pickups. I don't know why Ibanez never does a Prestige version of my favorite shapes (Iceman and Xiphos)

The Prestige question also is for me too ... I don't mind paying for the high price .. haha ... considering the Xiphos 27 is already in the higher price range .... plus they have Dimarzio pickups in it ...

haha true! ... plus this X has true 27 frets ... damn you are already giving me GAS ...

I almost bought a regular xiphos when they first came out (I preordered a black one but ended up picking up an rg550). The trem was definitely a turn off for me, I love my Edge II though, go figure. I'd like a bolt-on prestige xiphos, I could easy rock one.

if you put your foot on an amp in my store id take the guitar off you and hit you with it

The new xiphos guitars are killer, however.

I want the necrphagist guy's signature one. Reversead headstock and 7 strings with trem

me too
seeing them on the march 13th,
their 1st ever show in Australia !!

 

[BlindingLight7]

looks like a smexy gitfiddle . i could settle for it not being a 7 since it has 27 frets so i can hit the 24th E string as if it was the e on my 7 but be in drop a.


its such a beautiful guitar aswell. i just wish i had moneys

The Edge III trem is pretty rock solid, I have a 2007 Xiphos and it can withstand as much whammy abuse as my K-7. Also, the pickups in the Xiphos are more than "decent", they are a pair of quality Dimarzios!

Aw haha. If it makes you feel any better it was just a spider III 1x12.

Muhammad's guitar would be bitchin' but I do kind of prefer standard/strat shaped guitars (or I'd take an Explorer/V). I don't know if I would rock the 7 string Xiphos but I'm sure I'd take one hands down if it was 8 string.

 

[Toshiro]

A Prestige Xiphos would list over $2k(street would be $1500+). I'll take the $700 model and swap the trem.

Take the white one. You will take the white one. You'll hurt me if you get a chameleon if you can have it in white

EDIT: Take the white xiphos!

EDIT2: I'm serious, the white xiphos 6-string is the only way to go if you want a xiphos 6er.

 

[Toshiro]

Dude, you're telling me? I have the trigger finger waiting for them to be available, and one will be at my door. The BCM was the one I used to want, but they discontinued it, white is way better anyways.

 

[tr4c3]

They had the white one there. Looked very nice. I would definitely take that over the other ones. Though the 27s green was nice too.

Second picture.... Is that a purple San Dimas tele?!?

Is that the new colour? PLEASE!
