NEW S7 Info 2006

[Ryan]

#1 Welcome
#2 All of the S7s ive played are thicker than RGs typically. (except the early 90's S5407). So i wouldnt be surprised to see the new S7 to have the same "filled out" neck profile.

Good work man!

 

[DangerousTacos]

Good 'nuff for me. At least it isn't Indonesian!

 

[Ryan]

Oh word. That settles that then.

 

[technomancer]

Cool, glad they're not Indonesian. Hopefully one of the two Guitar Centers near me will get on in so I can try it out

 

[nyck]

SWeet Sweeeet!! Korean stuff nowadays is pretty nice stuff.

It'd be nice if they could just switch all MII stuff back to Korea.

Cool info. Although i've always been a fan of MIJ Ibanezes, the Korean made guitars are getting better.

715 €- not too bad.

The V-blade and Xiphos look cool too.

That is good to hear that it's not Indonesia. Sure, it'd be better if it was in Japan, but for that price with a ZR trem 'n' all, I wouldn't expect it to be made in Japan. Korea's quality has been pretty good recently, too.

Holy shit! Ibanez is finally turning the corner.

wow, holy crap that last one in a 7 and i may have perswaded the other guitarist to get a seven, nice stuff

 

[Kagami]

WHOA! Chameleon paint on the xiphos...crazy, does that say the V has active Dimarzio pickups? weird.

 

[Makelele]

I've never heard of Dimarzio Diactivators.

Here's a translation of the facts about the S7320-BK presented in mostly German at thoman.de linked above:

mahogany body
3 piece maple neck
rosewood fingerboard
22 jumbo frets
ZR tremolo
2 humbucker (AH1-7 and AH2-7)
including gigbag and belt
price: 715 € that's about 940 US dollars (a European price)

The S-7320 is now in stock at ikebe-gakki at 78.700 JPY excl. tax (the price you'll pay when exporting the item).
Here's on of their pics of the thing - they are very dark, though:
