Ibanez Enthusiast
I think I can honestly say, I'm one of the first (consumer) to get one of these and post it online??!?!?! Regardless, here's the pr0n:
Disclaimer: photos are all done with my iPhone 4S.
The first photo I took @ my office as soon as I picked it up (during my lunch break haha). It kinda shows that the light really does determine the color. The florescent lights really made it appear darker where as the halogens @ home brought out that rich maroon color.... The color is soooooooo nice in person. The feel/build overall is what I come to expect and love from Ibanez. Plays amazing well, solid and sounds MONSTROUS. The neck feels great, kinda more rounded profile compared to my K-7. Satin finish. Just love, love, LOVE this guitar.
The most important thing I wanna address is the Seymour Duncan Retribution pickup in this thing..... It was pretty much what I was hoping for: a Blackout that is a bit more open sounding, not as high output as the AHB-1's I run in my other 4 guitars resulting in fantastic cleans that don't break up as easily.... lots of headroom! I fully intend on putting them in my other guitars as soon as they're available.
I ordered this thing back in June (I think...) through my local dealer (Long & McQuade). Really happy to finally have this in my hands. Dino and Fear Factory have been one of the most influential bands to me as I got into Metal and definitely as I learned the guitar. No joke, this guitar is what I would want custom if it were possible (aside from the volume knob placement). I'll likely order a replacement plate for the control cavity to preserve the signed one as well as this guitar is gonna be played..... A LOT.
