Sexiest Ibanez ever?

[JustMac]

H-S-H setup kind of kills it for me, and it kind of looks like Hermans signature.. but she's mighty fine anyways

True I guess, but that particular top (it's called diseased poplar I think) sets it apart. I'd definitely take it over the new RG721, I think they're the exact same price!

Shame Ibby did a black headstock though!

IMO every Ibanez is let down by its headstock. To me it just says 'meh'.

Which is exactly how I feel about Jackson.

 

[s4tch]

On a sidenote: just very few headstocks kill a guitar for me. I like the usual Ibanez shape, especially in reverse (where are the reversed 7 headstocks, Ibanez?!), and I also dig those pointy Jacksons, and the 3+3 shapes of these brands, too:

...and back on topic, here's one sexy Ibby with a 3+3 headstock:

Jari Maenpaa's J Custom RGR1700

But.. what..how.. wha...

I cant find anything this guitar... mostly russian websites. Was it a factory JCustom model?

J Custom + reversed headstock + what appears to be Ebony <grabs tissue>

Yeah, think those are 1997 models. One of only 3 or 4 J Customs to have a Reverse Headstock. That board is ebony. Hardware on that guitar pictured above has been changed (except for the tuners), wouldn't have been gold originally. Pickups are Air Norton and Tone Zone.

Oh my green..

Wow, great color, I also like the features (original EDGE, offside dots, Maple-bound fretboard). Do you know the model number?

geeeze.. that was around in '97?? what is up with Ibanez's aversion to neck-through construction and reversed headstocks? sure there are the few exceptions that pop up occasionally, but I just expected to see it become more standard since people seem to like it.

I gotta say that i still find the RGA121 Violin finish one of the nicest Ibanez finishes out there. But that's just me

Ibanez RG 7CST (One of the rarest Ibanez ever)

Dat piezo

Seriously I would give anyone here with that guitar or an RG2127x so much moneys to buy it off them.
Spent last 6months scrounging the internetz to try and find either for sale.

I was doing some research earlier, and one of the 14 made (I believe that's correct) belonged to someone in this forum. Lucky guy for sure!

 

[shadowlife]

This one gets my vote as well.

 

[MikeH]

There's a handful of Ibbies in here that I've never seen. And that's saying a lot.

Still one of my favorite Jems ever:
