New 7-string Ibanez models for 2010!

[naumannrob]

anyone know of a release date for any of these?

 

[El Caco]

They will be officially announced at NAMM and in the next few months will appear in stores however various models have already appeared in a few stores. One RGA7 has sold on ebay, a few of the 6 string models including the RGD are on ebay and a few models are currently listed on Ikebe.

 

[vampiregenocide]

Yeah theres a couple of British websites selling some already, including the RGA8.

That's the only thing that really interests me in this whole Ibanez 2010 models buzz.

The new prestige rga-7 doesnt looks like it worth's the cash it gonna cost.

Which ones?

 

[xkovacsx]

i'm really digging that RGA7! i'm kinda mad though because i just got the S7320 and now they're upgrading it with 24 frets. oh well. and the RGD looks great, but it will most likely be way out of my budget.

Don't the new J-Customs get introduced around March or so? Not sure myself.

 

[MaxOfMetal]

Doesn't new J-Customs get introduced around March or so? Not sure myself.

Something like that. They don't follow the "Western" trends, so they are released whenever. It has nothing to do with NAMM, as that's typically a US only thing. Since J-Customs aren't officially released to the US, they aren't shown.

Yeah you're right especially since Ibanez make 16mm flame maple tops like they are going out of fashion.

 

[Troegenator]

That RGA7 is titties!

 

[tubarao guitars]

WOW.
Just WOW.
I have a few friends inside the Ibanez rep here in Brazil and, well, i've seen some sneak pix of the 2010 Universe!

This is exactly the same as the old ones, with square neck joint. NON AANJ.

The model name is: UV77RE-MC.

The specs are:
5pc Maple/Bubinga neck
Basswood body
Lo-Pro Edge 7 bridge (looks like Cosmo Black on the pix)
Green DiMarzio Blaze II (H) neck pu
Green DiMarzio Blaze II (S) mid pu
Green DiMarzio Blaze II (H) bridge pu
Scale: 648mm/25.5”
Color : MC (Multi Color)

* Special Flight Case (the silver and bigger one, just like those on the DNA's)
* “Passion & Warfare” Artwork Poster

Limited production 100 pieces worldwide.
Production: February/2010 - Japan.

Now, let's talk about the Darren's swirl:
It's amaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaazing!

I've seen pix of 5 or 6, all together in a rack.
But i can see it's the same color pattern:
black
green
yellow
and an awesome, astonishing, stunning and bright neon deep pink!!!

Well, those swirls have that classic zig-zag feel and are more equal to each other, they are top notch, eye catching like the DNA swirls.
At least one of them has the black lizard on the black paint, much desirable feature from some jemsiters around...

I just love those and can't wait to see better pics of the entire 100 batch.

I'm remembering of a UV77MC-MKR that someone asked Darren to re-swirl.
The new ones looks exactly like this: i'll search some pix of it.

Another crazy thing i forgot to add:
the new XYPHOS1400 double neck!!!
7 string and 6 string
grey color
awesome stuff!!!!

Sorry if i sounded like elated and exited about the leakage and stuff, but that new UV77RE-MC is gonna be a PURE WIN!!!!
Cheers,
Will

The re-issue UV MC is pure "take out a loan" for a working man. It is a guitar for collectors, not players.

 

[Prydogga]

RG1527Z still comes in blue!

and swirl reissue.

 

[El Caco]

You got that blue pic from the Aussie site, it is no longer available on some of the other Ibanez sites.

 

[vampiregenocide]

They've fixed the errors too, the RGDs were listed as 25.5 but they're 26.5 now.

Also that UV is gorgeous.

 

[Stormingdust]

Apparently, the RG series are now available in both bolt on and neck thru construction. So sweet.

 

[Bygde]

I found the RGA-7 on musik-schmidt.de, and I'm ordering it as soon as I can move to an appartment. My mom isn't very happy about me getting more guitars!

 

[NKGP]

Here are some prices I found (thomann.de)

IBANEZ RGA427Z-DSH €1966
IBANEZ RGD2127Z-ISH €1177
IBANEZ RG1527Z-BK €969
IBANEZ RGA8-BK €688
IBANEZ RGA7-BK €529
IBANEZ S7420-BK €639

The RGA seems way overpriced. I'm gonna get the new 1527, that one is doable.

There have been neck-thru RGTs (both Japanese made and other) in the Ibanez line-up for well over a decade.
