Ibanez RGD71ALPA
...This is a current production model. That top with those pickup covers...


I like the streakiness of the fretboard. But that top - why can't guitar companies just stop with this? It really is not a good look (my opinion).

I think back to earlier in the 2000's and Ibanez had such great colors. That's what I normally look for when buying used - guitars from the mid-2000's to mid 2010's.

Agreed. The neck is actually really nice but the top is ugly imo. :agreed:

When I was designing guitars in photoshop I had a headstock that looked just like that. But the body was your regular black machine-like becasue it was like 2010 lmao

gotta be honest I've never understood the appeal of TK and think that 90% of his work could easily fall in this thread

😭
His body shapes are definitely a bit too ESP Forest/Rhinoceros beetle vibe for my taste, but there are generally far more egregious designs that belong here imo. Same with Barlow guitars.
