FUUUUUUUU



SO NICE

 

[s_k_mullins]

So much win! I need one of these to accompany my Premium 6'er!

 

[Elijah]

Nice score. I didn't even klnow these were available yet. Clips are a must!

 

[littledoc]

I'm curious, since you have both the 1527 and the Premium, how the Edge Zero II compares to the original Edge Zero.

Congrats though, these are great guitars for the price and I'm sure it'll sing after the pup swap.

The 1527 he has doesn't have an Edge Zero, it's an Edge Pro.

 

[CrushingAnvil]

Why isn't that model on the Ibanez website?

What's the deal?

Congrats!

Depends on the year, at least in Europe the first batch of the maple 1527s came with the Edge Pro, and the second with Edge Zero.

Damn, those are some tasty guitars you have there!
Nice rg827 and also nice 1527, the combination of the white pickups, and the maple reminds me of a pgm :haha:

HNGD!

It's because Ibanez knows that if they put it on their site, too many people will start ordering it from its pure awesomeness, and would lead to a factory breakdown and massive tree massacre due to the backlog of orders it will acquire.

 

[Fred the Shred]

It most certainly looks quite cool, and I'm all for diverse finishes on mass produced instruments!

 

[Pikka Bird]

That looks every bit as nice as I had hoped it would, BUT- the glossy cear on the back of the headstock seems to come to an abrupt halt about halfway up the volute. Is that an illusion or is it so?

So here's what I know: Those were originally supposed to come out in 2012, according to my contact at Meinl, who are their distributor over here in Germany. Surprisingly, dealers in the EU announced them for september 2011 shortly after and here they are.

Thomann lists them as a 60th Anniversary Meinl Limited Edition, for example. They are on none of the Ibanez websites yet, and also weren't listed amongst the new arrivals Ibanez announced for Europe a few weeks ago.

Could be, that they still won't be coming out until 2012 / after NAMM everywhere else outside Europe.

If they made an RGD Premium like this I would hands-down buy another one! The quality seems pretty decent on these especially for the price/features ratio. Congrats man, looks gorgeous!

Thanks!

After I've sent my Viper 7 to PLEK, this will definitely be my next Thomann purchase

If you look at the bridge on his 1527M, you can tell that it's an Edge Pro and not an Edge Zero.

 

[Strawberry Man]

I need one of these. Right. Now.
