Not sure I would buy one, but that looks nice!

Maybe a preview of 2007 line-up...

Interesting...

One pickup and one volume... That's gotta be a first on an Ibanez production guitar.

I have waited and waited and thought, "if only they'd finally make a black guitar".

Its sortof like having the best looking car that only turns left. No neck pickup = useless.

I'm kinda diggin it. I loved the Charvels with just the volume and humbucker. Set it and forget it.

I like the stripped-down vibe, but the inlays are off-putting, and the volume knob looks to be in an awkward place (what can I say, I'm a PGM convert).

Nothing but a matter of taste. It's good enough for some - if it'd have a tone knob, it'd be good enough for me too.
That's quite funny actually - with two pickups, I can do without the tone-knob, but with one pickup, I have to have a tone knob.

Re: First one to see a RG 2610 Prestige???


Even though I like my two humbucker and 5-way setup very much, a stripped-down guitar like that looks very appealing. Just a ballsy, no-nonsense guitar when you need it (unless you consider a trem nonsense). Many people might think a single-pickup guitar is lacking but many players out there only use the bridge pickup and it's a kinda waste if you're never gonna remove it or do the ugly removing it thing.

I think the sharkfin inlays with the empty centres looks weird though. And which SD humbucker is that?

Id imagine that would say dimarzio/ibz not SD

Looks like a step in the wrong direction to me.

One might say that. I'm cool with the guitar, but I'd much rather have Ibanez focus on 7-stringers. Who knows, just maybe we'll get some of them.
