The "NAMM 2021" Thread

[DrakkarTyrannis]

Dunno if there's even gonna be one but I figure this would be the hub for all new product lines for 2021.

I saw this and figured some of you may be into it. Multi scale, Kahler loaded 8 string Dean? Interesting.

ESP already has stuff being revealed.

Any news on stuff?

 

[Zhysick]

Kahler and Dean... well... the blue Charvel looks good thou

 

[DrakkarTyrannis]

I'm kinda hoping they do lots of their models with Kahler bridges. I've been wanting to try one as I feel like it'd be a better Floyd. It was weird that they weren't offered on most production lines. I'm hoping to get lucky and they'll do a Modifier with a Kahler.

Been liking what I’ve seen from ESP.

WHY ARE THERE NO FUCKING LINKS?

Post up what you’ve found

They (NAMM) are doing some online interactive stuff, and as mentioned, a bunch of companies have already started releasing things. PRS has an event online on Jan 15th, I believe. New SE’s, new colors, etc.

Where the heck are the 2021 Ibanez's?

Where the heck are the 2021 Ibanez's?

I believe we’ll get the rollout on Friday Jan. 1st (got fingers crossed for a new multi scale 8 and/or new EHB models).

I don't know if this one's EU only but it's the new RG5320C. Chrome hw, TZ/AN, new color. Not really crazy about the finish, but it's growing on me. And it looks like there will be a 7-string AZ as well.

If Dean does a proper round wing Flying V body (like the Karl sanders, etc etc) with a NON-fork headstock I’d be interested in that.

I can confirm the AZ seven string. Only Prestige though, I believe.

That 8 string Dean looks interesting. I didn't expect that. Not a fan, but it's interesting to see.

Usually there’s an Ibanez thread! Something is off with the year, it seems.

Anyway, hoping to see more development in Ibanez RGDs and multiscales.

Xyphos 7 strings, multiscale 27"-25" with no triangle at nut, 27 frets, offset dots, chamaleon finish, Bare Knuckle Pickups (never going to happen)

I really dig my MS RGD (apart from the finish anyhow) and would specifically love to see an RGD 8 - even though I have no business whatsoever buying anything right now.

 

[DEUCE SLUICE]

Their current lineup is so close to having what I want in my 7-string, I'm excited / worried they'll hit on it and I'll be powerless to resist.

 

[Mboogie7]

I would absolutely love to see an Ibanez AZ 7 string lefty. That’d close my gas for awhile.

If there's no headless Ibanez guitars this "NAMM" I'll chug a bottle of ketchup on livestream. You can quote me on it.

Two things:
1. Would a headless bass guitar count? ‘Cause we’ve already got several (not enough, but several nonetheless).
2. I’ve been watching Ola Englund’s YouTube channel for the last two hours and immediately envisioned someone playing “chunky heavy rhythm”... on a ketchup bottle (wrong kind of “chug” but hey, they’ll make guitars out of anything these days).

Noted.
