New Ibanez protypes

[MiPwnYew]

Didn't see these posted anywhere, or any thing from NAMM about them, but a few people are posting about them now

*Edit* It might of helped if I spelled prototypes correctly in the title lol

Saw these today and they reminded me heavily of a EBMM JP mixed with an Aristides.

Really interested in these if they're reasonably priced and have decent features like stainless steel frets etc!

I can totally see that, especially with that EB-esque blue.
That all rosewood neck is really doing it for me!

Yeah these are for the polyphia guys, theres a red one too. I kinda dig em, a little classier than your typical RG. I wish ibanez would do more stuff like this, they've kinda fallen off my radar in the last year or so

Saw that Eric from Chon has one too

Digging the blue. And I thought the SAME thing. Really get a JP vibe from them. If they have a slightly rounder thin-C neck I'm on board.

Is that an all rosewood neck? Looks cool.

 

[Hollowway]

That neck is awesome! I love how these fancy custom things are trickling down to production instruments. I would love an 8 string in this new spec!

 

[Lorcan Ward]

I really like it! Its basically Ibby's take on a JP.

Looks like baked maple neck? Grain doesn't look like wenge or rosewood.

I never liked playing a single Ibanez... But dang, those look gorgeous!

 

[TedEH]

My first thought was all-rosewood neck, but that wouldn't make sense right now because of the CITES thing, right? If that is actually what is it, would be nice to see one in person - a store nearby had a MiA Strat with all-rosewood neck and it was...

 

[KnightBrolaire]

i like the neck heel. hopefully more pics are going to trickle out soon.

For sure. The married ones are definitely hotter, but I agree these are nice!

 

[Webmaestro]

Hmm, I'm on-the-fence. I like the old, pointy RG shape, but definitely curious to see where this goes.

 

[s_k_mullins]

They have a Suhr vibe as well. Similar to the Suhr Standards and Modern Pro models.

 

[Pikka Bird]

I'm not into the rounder headstock tip and the shallow upper cutaway (the same feature I don't get along with on stuff like Suhr), but I do think it's a pretty cool looking thing overall.

I was about to say, if these are going to Polyphia something just as cool, if not cooler, better be going to the CHON homies.

I really like that red one. Definitely getting some Suhr Modern vibes from that one.

I do wish theyd keep the regular \m/ headstock shape though. This looks like it'd fit the FR shape better.

 

[Mathemagician]

That bridge looks very cool, it's not a current offering is it? Just judging from the rear design, not versed in 2point traditional trem options.

 

[Forkface]

they look like vigiers a little bit.
i like em, but i agree with TedEH, if these are rosewood neck it sounds like an unnecessary headache with all the CITES stuff.
