so supposedly these were auctioned at the Ibanez booth at the Gakki Fair in Japan last year....

they sure look pretty .. Anyone have bigger pictures?

Interesting, the 2 on the left are almost the exact same pattern, just different colors, almost impossible to do with a swirl. The 2 on the right could be by the Japanese swirler, they could also be by the guy that did the RGPAINT's.

I'd love to get MY hands on ANY of them.

I'm with Rich...the two on the left look identical...can't be swirls...can it?

Second from the right...those P-90s?

Gimme the one on the far right....SWEET!!

p4th4...where'd you find those pics?

the 2 on the left look like they have quilted maple top finishes - but it looks like a normal quilt finish, maginified!!!

They definately look pretty!!

So the 2 on the left are probably like 'foto-swirls' huh..

HRD, the pic is straight from ibanez japan website:

the translated page by excite.co.jp translator doesn't make much sense, but there's a word 'prototype' in there
