I think that you're looking more for the Chalk color. To my eyes, it appears that the Sage color is what was on the 6-string that they showed at NAMM.

I'll email them at some point when I'm closer to ordering.

I feel like every time I step outside my front door is a risk, may as well take calculated ones in a direction I want to go. If I get a guitar that plays great, looks great and has a few minor flaws, I’ll report them to you guys so you can be upset for meReal talk, I have had exceedingly good luck up to this point with my builds, and if it “sparks joy” (thank you Asian meme lady), I won’t go looking for a reason for it not to. But when it comes in I don’t mind giving a good honest review either, I’ll probably be happy either way.
I’m the opposite. I’ve had so many luthiers take my money and disappear that I’m petrified about ordering. I reeeeaaallly want to get one of these, but I’m going to wait it out, as well.

the jack placement is atrocious on the space tele.

Yeah after my experience with the Falbo run I'm gonna wait until these things are actually real and in the wild before I even consider ordering one.

I'm trying so hard not to order one. I've been waiting for this for years, but especially since Ivan said they're hammered just trying to make their deadlines...feels risky

I'm thinking of it like it's a new Jackson model- they announce it but it's not actually available for at least 9 months

Well, obviously it’s ugly as sin
However, I think it’s great that both Tosin and Ibanez are reinventing the norm
Ibanez is my favorite guitar company and they’ve had the same body (the beautifully simple SS) forever
In a recent interview even Steve Van said he was hoping to see more new ideas outside the box
Here’s one to start! I’d love to try it. I’m not a AAL fan but I respect their novelty
Has anyone played one of these?
My $.02

I played a couple of the Falbos that were part of that Japan shipment last year. The two I played were great but the price was about double what it should have been.
I ran into some of the recent pre-NAMM models today though. I didn't bother playing them but they looked pretty damn sloppy for the 570000 JPY price tag.
It's a bit harder to see in that first pic but the frets and neck joint were a mess on both.

Eeek, those are some Invictus-level fret edges.
btw, were you doing the rounds for the Tokyo Guitar Fair?

Am I crazy or does it look like the edge of the fretboard was painted black? Definitely doesn't look bound.
All the talk of quality previously seems quaint now.

Who cares about quality? Hype and bullshit and shoddy guitars = Orders baby!!!
Why is everybody making it so hard to orde
It looks like one of the side dots was painted over.
Nope, every time I find out about something cool I'm already booked solid
Most likely burned through. My eye looks like a black binding that got sanded WAY back during the fret dress.

I don't think any of the abasi guitars had binding so it must be paint. Those fret ends are horrific.

i know some ordered and fair fucks to you but if i were any of you other interested buyers, i would wait this out if i were you/
I almost hit the order button but I just couldn’t justify the expense 
Instead I ordered something else to cure the gas, an Ibanez Jem FP.

that will save me right?
Oh BTW, for anyone interested you can request no inlays on your order.
