New entry level fixed bridge Ibanez S

[Spaceman_Spiff]

It looks kinda cheap to me imo. I like the silverburst, but if only the hardware was black and they ditched that cheap white plastic neck binding...

They should do a prestige S7 version with similar looks and specs as the RGA121/321...

By the way, I still can't figure out how a gibraltar bridge could dig in your hand with palm mutes...I have zero problems with them and I palm mute a lot. So I think it's just a matter of technique wether you like these bridges or not. So anyone who asks: don't believe the haters and try it for yourself first.

"Haters"

I personally just don't like the bridge. I'd be the first to say try it before you get a guitar with it, it just isn't comfortable to me.

So, emmm, i'll just leave it here =D
Ibanez S6271-MGS

Looks nice, lame shoots though..
About 750$

'ello gorgeous

Well, now this is a step up from the plain gloss black 7's Ibanez offers in that price range! Now, if only they can produce a 7 string version of the 670PB. I had one before my house burnt down and took everything with it. That sure was a gorgeous guitar. Black hardware would look better on this though IMO.

7 string
S body
Not black
Hardtail
No EMGs

[Miek]

Are we going to see this stateside? I wouldn't mind picking up a used one a few years down the road.

I hate that piece of plastic under the pup selector. But damn is that sexy.

 

[stigmatodiaboli]

i'm glad someone mentioned that piece of plastic under the pickup selector. i've always hated those on the s series guitars from ibanez, they got rid of the pickup rings, but just forgot about that eye soar under the selector! wouldn't stop me from buying it though!

 

[noob_pwn]

Honestly I think it will look way better in the flesh

 

[m3l-mrq3z]

Butter bridge guitar.

 

[Survivalism]

A little high on the price, I could see this running for
$499.

Other than that, GIMME ONE!!! Or two... or ten

If it does come to the US and sales below $500, then this will be awesome.

Honestly, I couldn't see it selling for more than that, given
the specs, hardware, and finish. I mean, it's the same specs
as the new RG 7321's in the form of a Saber, with a half-assed
silverburst finish

I'm actually hoping they come in plain ol' black, too.

 

[Mordecai]

dat silver burst looking finish, dat fixed bridge.... is it bigger than 25.5 scale?

 

[DoomJazz]

Perfect modding guitar

all my want and some of everyone elses too

 

[mudmonster]

$750 is entry-level now? Y'all some rich mofuggas.

Its an Ibanez, they are the most overpriced guitars on the market.

lolwut?

 

[Onegunsolution]

Correct me if I'm wrong but don't the S series need the bubble under the selector because their bodies are too thin?

Yup, still hate it though.

Not so much in terms of quality but in terms of specs. Their QC is surprisingly good on the low-end guitars, but their pickups are god-awful and it's ridiculous that you have to spend $1500 just to get something name-brand most of the time. Their finishes on lower-end models are also pretty ugly, for some reason they have the most plastic, cheap look ever. Not to mention the price of the Japanese-made stuff keeps creeping up as the Indonesian models become standard for almost anything.
