New entry level fixed bridge Ibanez S

[LoopQuantum]

I LOVE those Gibraltar bridges. Solid, comfy, and crazy resonant! I had one on my RGA121.

Wishes it was not in silver-burst. I just think the silver-burst thing has become such a fad. I hardly ever see it done is an aesthetically pleasing fashion either. I'd be down for this guitar though for sure. I have one s-series guitar & although I have always preferred the RG series I consecutively play my S series over any of the others, it is just more comfortable, lighter & packs more BWOW to it.

Ditto on the lack of pickup rings - much preferred by me.

Those bridges though... the pointy and tall bulk of the top forward-most corner really dug into my hand when I tried out the RG style 7 with that bridge...

Aww man, that sucks. I always have issues with the locking nut of the Ibanez headstocks. More than one time I have slid from the 7th to the first fret quickly & been like 'dangit' as I ripped up the side of my finger.

That hat a Gibraltar Plus, that's a smoother piece of metal than the "normal" Gibraltar.

I had an RGA32, that had this Gibraltar thing, other than the pretty pointy corner, I had nothing against it.

Really must try out that Gibralta bridge. Does it really feel like a truck under your palm?

I despise that bridge. The sharp corner dug into my hand whenever I would palm mute, and yeah it's unnecessarily huge.

I think it looks pretty nice but because of the Gibraltar III I don't see myself ever getting one.

 

[ImNotAhab]

Do want.

 

[iRaiseTheDead]

I love it personally

WANT

 

[Onegunsolution]

The Gibraltar has love and hate of equal amounts, I thought it felt real comfy when I tried an RGA and RG that had em This guitar looks juicy.

You should be a sales rep

[BlindingLight7]

guhhhhh, so sexy...me want

 

[Grand Moff Tim]

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

 

[Kreml]

Dat silverburst

 

[Stemp Fester]

Don't want but am hoping this is some kind of hint that there's more in the works for the S series. Like a Prestige S7.

Isn't about time there was an Ibanez 2013 thread?

 

[ZeroS1gnol]

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.

 

[capoeiraesp]

^ that's why it's an entry level guitar.
Very nice combo of specs on that one.

 

[joe-tofu]

Sometimes, even Ibanez comes up with something halfway decent. Still they seemingly can't offer a decent bridge and why the fuck to they always have to throw ugly dot-inlays in the guitars? Do something without inlays, with sharktooths or at least with the small dots, dammit!

 

[Valennic]

So many awesome guitars being released lately.

At least awesome conceptually speaking. This one has a lot of potential to be amazing, so we'll see how its quality stands up when people actually start buying it, because quite frankly, a 7 string silverburst sabre is just awesome.

750 is a bit pricey..
