What Do you Want to See From Ibanez in '09?

[Bobo]

Maybe something with a Wizard 1 style neck and aanj.

 

[Koshchei]

Made in Japan at a reasonable price. Indonesian 7 strings = no thanks.

 

[Bygde]

lower, reasonable, more realistic prices.

Definately. It's hard for me to say as an Ibby guy, but they aren't really worth the money you have to give away.

 

[Metal Ken]

reasonable prices, pickups and no basswood.

 

[leonardo7]

A neck thru Mahogany RG or S 7 string with 24 frets and active pickups, MIJ.

 

[poopyalligator]

More 7 strings, brighter colors and better pickups. So many people ask for that, and i am surprised they dont deliver. So much money could be made.

 

[Raoul Duke]

RG fixed bridge, neck thru 7's with M7's as pickups

Is that too much to ask

I don't think Ibanez is having money problems given the vast amount of dollars being handed over by noob guitar players' parents. Giving the long-time Ibanez players what they want will make them happy, but making more money for Ibanez? I'm not so sure. They are a business and they have the numbers in front of them to tell them what brings in the most profit.

I get tired of people pleading for Ibanez to make exactly what they want. If you can't find something you want with them, go custom or go to another company. If you hurt their sales #'s they might realize they're doing it wrong. (not directed at anyone in particular)

I'm a pessimist and I approve this message.

 

[awesomeaustin]

well would people rather have mahogany bodies for the price they are right now for basswood bodies, or would you rather have basswood bodies for cheaper?

 

[auxioluck]

An RGA7 and better pricing.

 

[OzzyC]

Price drops.


And Dimarzios.

 

[Crucified]

i'd like to see a neckthrough rg 7 string. with a trem of course. they make a xiphos 6 with a trem and then port it to 7 with a hardtail, wtf. i don't even like the xiphos but seriously.

 

[HamBungler]

An Iceman 7, better selection of S and RG 7s and more options of neck shapes, the flat wizards are kinda crampy, offering some rounder ones would be neat.

The whole attraction of Ibanez to me are basically the necks and how well made they are. If they made a thicker neck I wouldn't see any point in buying it over a Schecter or similar, especially with the usual price difference between them.

 

[wannabguitarist]

i'd kill 8 to get a seven string based on the rg550 (rg557)

They could even say its a Ken Sushi sig:

I want that guitar

What do you want to see in 09 from Ibanez. - Prestige Guitars - Ibanez Forum

you might be more useful if your talking on a site Ibanez actually looks it.

I know for a fact that the forum is looked at by marketing and etc.

 

[kristallin]

Alder bodies instead of Basswood. Usable pickups.

 

[CAPTAIN SARG]

i want to see an iceman 7 with trem with 24 frets meshuggah and unearth sigs and more color options

 

[7deadlysins666]

RG 5657 (565 Based 7 yes WITH Reversed headstock)

 

[Xaios]

Just so y'all know, I happen to like my basswood.

I'd like to see some 7's in their less common model lines, such as, oh, an ARC507.

Plus, I would like to see some classic reissues.
