Man I read this a few times wondering how the hell you confused fan for multiscale...and then I got it. I see what you did there.

Sometimes music puns are only funny the supertonic or mediant time you read them.

Well I could see headless Ibanez being a thing with the whole EHB test run

Love that RG5170 and RG5121, but I really wish it didn't have Fishmans.

The world is your oyster on a straight-scale 6 string. If you’re careful you could try out both humbucking voices on every model they make without soldering or even removing the protective film. You might have to de-solder a single wire from the stock pickups if they’re set up to split, but that’d be it.

Not trying to sell you on anything, but if Fishman made the Classic set in a configuration that would work with my MS 7 I’d be all over them (versus the Moderns I have in there now).

That’ s a secret

Is that a totally-not-signature from a metalcore guitarist whose name is escaping me right now?

Maybe the dude from Ice Nine Kills? The Word Alive? We Came As Romans? The Color Morale?

Swear one of them has like 4-5x LACS or otherwise non-standard RGs with pickguards, Fishmans, and different finishes such as the chameleon like that Axion Label

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.

Holy shit Ibanez please release this in Canada

I think it would be cool if Ibanez/ESP/Schecter got in on the headless game. I’m surprised they haven’t, with the exception of few basses from Ibanez.

Ibanez have been there in mid to late 80s...

Well, the hottest thing, appart from the music jokes, is that Axxion RG with the chamaleon finish and fixed bridge...

 

[Leviathus]

The purple 752 is nice.

Unfortunately Axxion guitars are made out of "who-knows-what-it-is" plywood.

I don't like Ibanez neck profiles anyway, wasn't thinking on getting one but it looks nice!

 

[thebeesknees22]

that purple Prestige rg752 all the way. ..but i'm with you @Zhysick on the neck profiles. After owning an rga71al for a while, those super thin necks aren't the most comfy for me.

 

[Mathemagician]

Xyphos 7 strings

I’d be willing to give ibanez necks another try for this.

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

Quoting so you can’t edit later.

Also Gibson coming out with a catalogue that, to Gibson fans, offers something really interesting, but most of the rest of us not seeing any difference between that and the past few years.

Well damn bro, hello to you to. Just calling me out like that for not being able to understand anything the catalog says beyond “60’s slim-taper neck” and “does/doesn’t have P90’s”.
