Another new 2009 J-Custom available: RG8420ZE


Black, red or purple.
Back to EMG81/85 instead of the Seymour Duncans. I wonder whether this will run alongside or instead of the RG8420ZD?

Ikebe are advertising them already although Ibanez haven't updated their site yet.

Currently top of this page:
http://www.ikebe-gakki.com/search_fair.php?fairId=48

Other than that presumably same specs as RG8420ZD.
Or think of it as 2006's RG8420FE but with the newer tremolo.

Oh my! Ibanez, could you please ditch the Edge Zero and go back to Edge pro (w. locking studs) or Lo-Pro Edge, kthxbai.

Just out of curiosity, I'm not pointing fingers or anything. But... do you have any guitar with the edge zero trem?

I don't own one but I've tested them. I don't like the looks of the trem (including the oversized trem cavity) and I think the EP and LPE feel better. It's just a matter of preference.

The oversized trem cavity, as someone already pointed here, helps you to access the screws without damaging the guitar... besides that, if you were to replace the bridge, you have the routing ready
But seriously, I have that tremolo on one of my guitars and I've never found a flaw... I guess it's true that you can't teach new tricks to an old dog No offense. But yeah, I'm like that sometimes, it's hard to get used to new stuff without going back and comparing it to the old one.

I'll say it now, I think theres way too much backlash over things here when they change to the new thing.

Not to mention, the Edge pro never came with locking studs, so how could they POSSIBLY go 'back' to it?

Just curious what you do not like about the edge zero?

I think I speak for most members here when I say:
Feels cheaper;
Is cheaper made;
Has a ridiculously large back rout and
Looks worse than older trems.

What do I think about it? It's an absolutely incredible guitar. I've had a good number of Ibanez guitars and this is in the top three I've played. The EMG's actually sound very nice in it, even though I don't usually go for them at all. I can't get over how immaculate the fretwork on these guitars is.

Sexy, the emg's look nice in it but I rather have dimarzios.

Also I would take it with any trem but I still would prefer the Lo-Pro over anything. That doesn't stop me from getting a guitar as you can tell from my 2 Edge Pro equipped Ibanezes, and maybe in the future an Edge Zero equipped.
