But for the price of the instrument ($900 fixed bridge ?), should you have to pay the extra $130 for a new pair of pickups? Point is - if your paying premium price, why not get get premium PUs.
Of course we'd all switch them out to something more of our own personal taste.

It will be at NAMM, which runs from January the 19th to the 21st this year I think, look out for it there!

We had an Ibanez affiliate strongly hint towards the release date of Jan. 19th (right after NAMM) on another forum.

I really think this S7 wont be a hardtail though ;D

I dont have that good of a job so I can't afford to spend a ton of money on gear, although I want to, I mean I saved up for like 2 1/2 months to buy a randall half-cab, and now I have to split my paycheck for a car, and I'm going to college next year. Sorry for the rant but I just think its bullshit that we have to pay say $500 dollars for a guitar that would probably cost $350 if it were a six string. And then once you get it, you spend 200 more on replacement pickups or tuners or whatever.
You, my friend, are a strong candidate for a RG7620. RG body shape, H-H pickup combination with Dimarzio New-7's (admittedly, they sound way better in mahogany than basswood, but they're totally useable pickups), and a Lo-Pro Edge trem that currently goes for around $400 in good shape used, less than a similarly spec'd RG6 would.
Ryan said:
Depends. If it's the Dimarzio/IBZ they've been using on Prestige guitars lately, those are essentially New 7's, and while they get a bad rap more often than not, those pickups SLAY in mahogany.
If they're not, then they'll most likely be generic Ibanez pickups - not great, but not horrible. If I buy one, I'd just toss 'em for Duncans, probably, anyway.

Dude, Blackjack C7. Mahogany, setneck, good pickups, $599.

One of the main draws of this new S7 is that it has a ZR7 trem.

Dude, the ZR7 is an awesome trem. You don't like it? Or trems in general lol.Naren said:

No. I meant "draws." If I had meant "drawbacks," I would have said "drawbacks."
Concatenation was saying that he was hoping this S would come out as a hardtail and I said that one of the main draws for this guitar is that it has the ZR7 trem (or, in other words, some people would buy this guitar solely for the fact that it's a 7 with a ZR trem on it, not even taking that it's an S series 7 into consideration).
I actually like the ZR, and would probably even use it (unlike the Edge Pro on my 1527, which I have blocked) because it has a vastly different feel to it, and seems to stay in tune better than any trem I've ever used before.
I'm cautiously optimistic about this S7.

I'd love having a ZR, so I could lock my trem off at at the perfect level and I'm sure I'd use it too, since I've heard it's more stable than most of Ibanez's trem systems.

so are you guys sure it will have a ZR?
So you can block that trem without having to use a piece of wood to stick up there or some tremolno gadget? In that case i guess its pretty cool...
I want to know more about the ZR..... what guitars has it now?
