The new premium S's!

[AngstRiddenDreams]

Oh my sweet jesus those are beautiful!!!

That black one is gorgeous aesthetically. It's almost perfect except the painted neck - I prefer satin clearcoat -, and EMGs. And I love that the pickup switch is 3way: I hate the way the 5way looks on the S with that ugly plastic around it.

If we're going to have an actual thread on these now, I'm gonna repost what I posted in the Ibanez S Thread a couple weeks ago.

I found an S Premium yesterday (March 2nd) while visiting my local store. Played really well, and looked beautiful. There was also another S770PB there, but it had a weird looking top. Below the bridge was all burled, but above the bridge was nicely figured and not burled at all. Very strange. Anyway, I took a couple pics when I was there.

Notice that S770 I was talking about on the right. View it in normal resolution and you can get an idea of what I was talking about.

Damn every time I see those pics I drool...it's so damn classy but just a little too brown for me haha
What were the prices on these in the store again?

The black one isn't coming to the US?

NEITHER are coming to the US.

Sucks to be us.

If these still had 22 frets I'de be seriously tempted

Not sure if I like the ring around the pickup selector switch on Blackie, but other than that? VERY classy! I dig them!

Fuck yeah Walnut!

Those do look really sleek. Not sure I'm a fan of the painted neck, but one could always sand it down it it really bugged them I suppose.

WHHHAAAATTTTT?!?!?! NNNNNNNNNNOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

Damn. I'm an RG guy and when I see an S, I usually feel pretty meh about it; these immediately sent my GAS through the roof. Too bad I don't have $1k to drop on one right now

That. I'd love one of the black ones (HH guitars ftw and that thing is preeeeeeety).

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

They need to bring this one back.

(With an ebony board!)

These as well.

 

[Blake1970]

The black one's sick as hell!

 

[jeckert7]

Wow, that S970 is beautiful. I might check those out after seeing your pics!

 

[Ironbird]

I love how thin the S bodies are. Really fun to look at!

I've definitely shyed away from black guitars, but that black S



DAYUM

Funny how Ibanez gets shit for doing too many black guitars, and now this S comes out... Well, they did need a higher end S in black, I guess.

They look nice, but I HATE that Ibanez puts those ugly black plastic covers over their switches. It almost completely turns me off of the instrument.

The black one actually looks pretty nice, but I'm still not digging the switch for that one either. It contrasts the finish too much.

Can't disagree there. If I ever got an S then I'd probably carve one from some fretboard-matching wood or try my hand at machining one.

That'd look really nice depending on what color scheme you had going on.

Where is my hardtail S, Ibanez?
