The Big Ol' SS.org 2011 NAMM Rumour mill!!

[Loomer]

Yes lads, it is indeed about that time again.

The time in which we postulate wishes*, spread wild rumours**, someone confirms some stuff***, and the rest of us wait with baited breath.

Rather than have a squillion threads like "Schecter 2011", "ESP 2011" and "Fender 7-strings for 2011 (hurr hurrr)", let's just gather it all in a big old shitpile here and weepingly fellate each other as consolation when the big companies once again take a hearty dump all over our wishes and unjustified sense of entitlement****.

To start the thread off, I will add this:

I know fuck all. Nothing. I have not heard anything anywhere. At all.
Fill in the blanks, lads.



* "I want a neckthru Ibanez RG w. OFR, gold plated BKP's and an automatic blowjob dispenser in the below £400 price bracket or I AM TAKING MY BUSINESS ELSEWHERE!".. Or if you REALLY want unrealistic dreams: LTD and Schecter 7-strings with fucking Passive pickups or at least passive-sized pickup routes *grumblegrumblegrumble*

** "Yeah bro, some guy I met at my local GC totally said that one is coming!! Also, I'm high on cat urine and crack cocaine." (to the above comment).

*** Psssht... Yeah, right. Of couuurse.

**** After all, permanently broke underground musicians whose niche is so tiny gardening-themed, 60+ gay porn has a wider customer base IS very important, nay, CRUCIAL to any given guitar company's survival and dignity. Right?!

How dare you poke fun at the competitive sport of criticizing guitars that haven't been produced yet?

 

[Loomer]

Nothing is sacred. Nothing!

 

[Seven]

All I want, and have always wanted is passive pickups or passive routes on 7 and 8s as standard.

 

[Loomer]

Well then put on your umbrella hat and overcoat, for you will most certainly be royally pooed on again this year.

 

[jl-austin]

Leaked ESP 2011 US guitars.

1)I've heard ESP will release all new stephen carpenter signatures with the neck pickup mounted behind the bridge

2)Ibanez will release RGA8 with a new bridge that progressively floats and reveals a column of delicious candy dispenser for sweet ass soloing

3)Gibson will continue what it's doing

4)Fender will announce the ultimate vintage hollowbody turtle shell guitar with an alder top in butterscotch finish.Bolt on.

5)Devries gets kicked out for taking a shit in front of the ESP booth

6)Schecter releasing a new 6 string model that auto-tunes to dropped C and auto-adjusts the guitar belt to crabcore height position

7)Dean makes another crappy dime signature,extending the crappy artwork to the fingerboard ,and custom dime pickups, with specs he ordered contacting them from heaven.They also announce that the signature razorback dimecello will hit the stores next spring

Forecast: Black, black everywhere.

I can see those three things happening.

I am prepared.

Don't like actives as standard. Least they could do for the 7's is use SD's standard route Blackouts, but EMG continues to try and take over the world with their routes.

Im hoping for some new 7 string RGD's, maybe a dark red RGD2127z ?

 

[vampiregenocide]

Chris Garza from Suicide Silence came on here asking for tips on specs of a signature Schecter tele 7 he's getting made, whether that will be this year or not I don't know.

 

[EliNoPants]

my greatest wish is Schecter to put satin finishes on the Hellraisers (at least the neck) and/or a fucking Loomis with a matching goddamn headstock, and for them to do a run of the V-7 or V-8 model with a purple finish, i mean, i love me some red, but a purple V-7 would just make my day

ESP could also make me happy by giving us the Viper baritone 7, especially if they put some 7's into the LTD 1000 line

I'm kind of hoping it will be this year, its a fucking silverburst, baritone, 7 string tele!

 

[Triple-J]

ESP have stated on facebook that the Stef Carpenter series is getting some new additions next year and that they shot the promo material with Stef last week.
I'm not sure what they have planned as they wouldn't drop a hint but I have a feeling it maybe a SC-208 as Schecter's Omen-8 has really set the standard for a cheap 8 string (it's available for £330 in the UK) and it's due some competition.

 

[Arterial]

fixed bridge j customs....
fixed bridge ibanez's in general would be nice, it seems ibanez have a thing for things that float.

MORE COLORED GUITARS IN GENERAL

 

[Koshchei]

Carvin 8 string. I hope.

Seeing as it's already happened:

Though keep in mind that being J-Customs, they won't be revealed until about April, when Japan brings in their new products.

And in addition to the FR series, there's the 1451 fixed bridge RGs too.
