Good god this.

 

[Krucifixtion]

Regardless of all the opinions it's still a sick guitar, but I probably can't justify spending that kind of $$$.

SIDE NOTE: Did anyone else notice that it looks like they are going passive pickups on the new RG2228's? Interesting....hmmm....

Another 8-string Ibanez that's a shade of dark grey. I think I'll pass. -_-

It is impossible to please people who can't afford what you're selling.

5 pages later and I've yet to see a factual street price on this guitar...

 

[Adrian-XI]

So if the retail is $8k in the US, will that make it retail at about $10k in Australia?

If so, then LOLOLOLOLOL!!

Please keep in mind that they must build components upside down proof or upside down all together in order to make sure they work OK in Aussieland. I dont get why austriolites are always complaining about the price hike...it makes sense.


Just kidding, everyone hates australia for some reason

 

[AVH]

I've been hinting here about this for a few years now...

 

[Stealthdjentstic]

2 years to be precise

 

[ZEBOV]

They arent making it for the player. It is for the collector.

Hmmm, that is a good point that I totally didn't think of. If I buy it sometime this year and keep it for about 20 years, I could probably sell it for a fuckload more.

 

[KEVORKIAN]

It's going to take all of my energy to avoid thinking about this guitar constantly.

WANT.

 

[Thrashmanzac]

i would probably buy this if it wasnt black, had a neck pickup, and a shorter scale, was a 7 string, and was <$1000. GODDAMMITIBANEZ!

 

[BangandBreach]

Waiting for the actual price so I can set aside money now.

I've waited too long for this guitar, I will be buying it.

 

[AChRush1349]

i would probably buy this if it wasnt black, had a neck pickup, and a shorter scale, was a 7 string, and was <$1000. GODDAMMITIBANEZ!

...So, if it was an entirely different guitar...in which case you wouldn't be buying THAT at all.

 

[jsl2h90]

Are meshuggah going to be tuning even lower for the new album?
Nice to see a stock guitar with something other than EMG's, but if that crappy STEFB8 can cost $3700 this thing is gonna wear a minimum $3000 pricetag.

 

[loktide]

holy shit want

who would have thought that ibanez would actually realease this as a sig? especially with all the 'original' specs as on their guitars including finish, scale, woods and even the fucking M8 !!!

can't believe everybody is bitching about the price, yet take it for granted with a blackmachine. this guitar is probably on par or even better as far as materials and craftsmanship goes!

my guess is that the demand for 8-string continues, they will also release a cheaper model like with the fireman within the next years.


anyhow, thank you ibanez for making this happen!

 

[toiletstand]

Just placed my order with Rich an hour ago; first one on the list.

you have to let me check it out! *bats eyelashes*

 

[KarlMagnusRobin]

If this goes for that ridoncolous price, I really hope they make a budget model and release it soon... It's not fuking okey to release this sig at collectors-item-prices, as this is something I and lots of others have been waiting for and really do want but NEVER will afford!

I hope I win on somekind of lottery, if I do I will definitley buy 2 of them!

... can't stop thinking about this guitar ...
