Love this shot of my new Ibanez Guitars LACS on stage in Peoria!! She's so PRETTYYYY!!!!
For the gear nerds like myself, here are some specs at long last:
She is a neck through S series- 5 piece maple and bubinga Super Wizard neck, ebony fretboard with top 4 frets scalloped, and mahogany body with quilted maple wings and natural maple binding. Loaded with DiMarzio Gravity Storm pickups in the neck and bridge, and my fave True Velvet in the middle.
Strings are D'Addario NYXL 10-46. Best strings ever.
Every guitar player has built their dream guitar in their head at one time or another, and I'm so beyond happy and honored that Ibanez has brought mine to life!!!!!

Awesome guitar!

Side note, wasn't a member/builder here trying to copy right that inlay for his brand? Not trying to imply anything, just remember seeing it in a thread.

Oh I remember those inlays from a buddies' SZ ( mine has the single flame on 12th, so his should have been a second run iirc ).

Nita's previous RGT320Z was quite close to my ideal. Couldn't manage to locate one in anything other than sunburst and variants here though.

The SZ520FM had the heartbeat inlays on it.

When I realized the cut-out at the bottom wasn't, I was actually disappointed :) I think it would be kind of a cool body shape :) Love the inlay though.

Doesn't have a rounded cutout like the illusion in the OP, but here's a Voyager cut Saber drawing I did a few years back. Has a similar effect.

Absolutely killer, that is pretty much the exact guitar I would spec out myself...maybe just blue instead of purple. Now to just get good enough to be able to squeeze build from the LACS... :lol:

Nita's been getting a few sweet LACS' lately. Check out this 3 pickup RG:

Most likely inspired from Ace Frehley, but a unique take for an RG. :yum:

Awesome guitar!
Just wondering why she went with the Edge Zero instead of Edge Original/Lo Pro.......(She might prefer that over the others; not sure but I might have read that somewhere)
