New summer Ibanez models

[MikeH]

Looks like the RG2 came out. Not a Premium, so I reckon they're trying to appeal to the broke demographic.

Here's a quote from HUSA:

If you’ve been eyeing our 25th Anniversary series but couldn't fit it in the budget, we've got some good news for you! Introducing the RG2XXV!

So they are pretty much marketing this as a cheaper RG1XXV.

Right here:

The Prestige RG lineup is a little thinner than it has been in the past, but if the last decade or two is any indication Ibanez tends to do this every few years, cut down models for a year or two, than bring a whole bunch down the road.

they look decent but...all i want is a 7-string S prestige or premium

Those guitars play amazingly for being lower-tier RGs. That new bridge kicks the shit out of the old Edge III as well

I actually played this one recently, it was my first experience with a Prestige model. Even with a terrible setup, it played incredibly smooth. I just wish GC would maintain their instruments, a Prestige shouldn't come off the wall with the action 3-4mm off the board with an out of whack bridge.

According to Ibanezrules.com these are coming to the US market as well. They are posted in another thread, but I figured I would post them here as well, due to this being the summer release thread.

I am kind of fond of the black S, I have never liked that black plastic pickup selector thing, and that one has a round 3 way (and also no tone control). Looks sweet!

 

[VBCheeseGrater]

I must have a problem, those 6 strings look abnormally skinny

Agreed, the pickups in particular
EDIT: ^^^ that brown S series looks sweet!

I pray that they release the 7 string version for the black one

This is Ibanez we are talking about lol I wouldn't get your hopes up too too high

 

[NeglectedField]

Seems the 921 is just the 821 with Dimmy-designed instead of straight up Ibanez pickups. No big deal. The UK could do with some of the ones with colours, mind. Although on that front, some bursts would be nice.

Ummmm

I haven't seen this anywhere else, but is this old news???

They are also releasing an inexpensive 8 string RG (not RGA). It will be offered in black and white, and if I remember correctly it will cost $500. No pictures of it though, I seen it in the dealer flier at a store here in Austin.
