The next JS model? - We have ways of making you talk Rich!

[jem7vwh]

OK, now that we know about the next JEM (which is cool since my school's color is purple), is there any info about the next JS? *They've been pretty plain (except for the CP) and I wonder if we'll see a diff. paint job than just black or white on a JS1000. *Any news?

Try some Sodium Pentathol (I hear the buzz is quite pleasing, just make sure my girlfriend isn't around!!) It's no secret I've been begging for a new graphic for years, probably won't ever happen, but they really do need to throw a new cool color in the mix! A friend and I were talking about this last night, what ever happened to Silver as a guitar color?!?! I think it's SHARP, especially the new silver pearls! I can see it being labled the "po mans chrome", but what about a silver jem?? Tasty!

Rich-
Ibanez may very well prove me wrong... but I think silver as a color for guitars went out with the word "sharp." *:biggrin

[Rich]

Oooops, showing my age! Now I thought retro was *IN*? (Oooops, showed my age again!:biggrin

[Bew]

I think silver would be groovy. *

I'd love to see a graphic on the JS's that became a standard as opposed to a hard to get item (i.e. donnie, rainforest)

They definately need spicing up a bit, but it's up 2 Joe so we better start lobbying him

Flame/Quilted would be a nice addition too.

I agree...the colors they have now don't do it for me. *I am with Rich about silver -- way cool color for guitar...or at least metallic colors. *My reissue strat is Inca Silver and looks way color than black or white.

[Boson]

clear (unfinished?) like the stock tailpiece model... that i would like to see again

[jem7vwh]

yup, I'd like a graphic like the donnies or rainforest. *Or, how about one of the new matte finishes like available on the S this year? *Like a pearl purple? *

The next JS model should have 24 frets. Persoanally i like that feature. But MY opinion is that the next js will be like a BSB type JS or another funky color. But i think IBanez doesn't want to put money into the JS because it dosn't sell as much as other guitars. Unfortuatly. IT would be awsome to have a another graphic. What would really be cool is like those PRS dragons on the body. And furthremore. I think the JS should have better inlays. But thats just IMHO :P

how about 22 frets... pao ferro board... and a 3 single coil design? *or stacked 'buckers? *Can you say blues?

I certainly can! but probably not with as much conviction as Joe.

Shred blues took on a new meaning for me with G3...but why couldn't we hear Steve? A little suspect methinks!

Silver would be cool. As for the graphics I don't think we'd see anything like a donnie or rainforest again, but I do think a new graphics design would be awesome. Maybe a "Engines Of Creation" related design. For example put circuitry running every which way and do it in eerie colors then you could call it the "Borg Sex" for a finish name???? Even though, the JS line definitely needs some new colors! I think White should be the first color to go! *

Personally, I'd like to see an entry-level Japanese made model. In addition, I agree with everyone else, more color choices other than white or black would be nice.

I agree. No more Korean 'signature models' with TRS. They are an insult... glen
