Bit of a inter-forum crosspost, but I like to share this with you too (for some models in the wrong section; too bad).

Already showed in magazine pic, but now we have a stock image, the RGD2127Z:

The neck does look kinda long, so maybe the longer scale length rumors were true? No official specs yet...

Also posted elsewhere, but here without the voo-du logo: a stock image of the RGD2120Z:

The RGA7:

Also no official specs but it's an RGA, so a mahogany body could be a possibility. Bridge looks like the Gibraltar Standard. As for the pickups: Look like EMGs, but they aren't labelled and it isn't a prestige, so they could also be new Ibanez made active 'LoZ' pickups.

The RGA8:

Bridge looks like the Fixed Edge III-8 that was also on the RG2228. As for the pickups: Look like EMGs, but they aren't labelled and it isn't a Prestige, so they could also be new Ibanez made active 'LoZ' pickups.

The RG1451:


RG with Tight End bridge (like on the JEMFX). Prestige, but the pickups are still a mystery to me. Could be V7/S1/V8 but these are usually labelled.

The RGA72TQM

Like the RGA72QM, but with a tremolo; like the RGA42T, but with a quilted maple top. New 'wedge sharkfin' inlays (made that up).

More RG news:
The RGD320:


Probably just a basic RG320 with the new body shape. Mystery pickups (Ibanez made?).

The RG1550MZ:

Like last year's RG1550M, but with an Edge Zero tremolo, and in a 'new' fabulous color. Looks like all RG1000 series models will get the Zero treatment after all (RG1550MZ, RG1470Z, RG1527Z...)

The RG4570:

Looks like last year's RG3620Z, but with a mid pickup. Probably still DiMarzios, could be any set but I dare to bet it's Air Norton/True Velvet/Tone Zone.

Very cool (non-Prestige) Saber news: All Sabers will get a 24-fret neck! All new 24-fret models are actually upgraded 2009 models returning more or less unchanged (save some inlays), except for the extra two frets. In a stroke of brilliance Ibanez decided to rename them by adding 100 to every model name, so S320 becomes S420, S470B becomes S570B, etc.. That also means two models names are going to be reused: S7420 and S570 (and this will get people pissed).

S570B (new inlays, also available in blue and white):

I forgot about this one, the S570DXQM, the (quite surprising) 24-fret version of the S470DXQM. Probably also available in other finishes, this is the BBB (Bright Blue Burst) finish also available this year:

More like similarity to this:

Ironic that you pick Petrucci's new signature guitar though. You weren't far off the mark ;)

Does anyone else find it pretty sad that we get to look at these low quality leaked pictures vs. this stuff being plastered all over Ibanez' own website in HD? I've been waiting for months to see what 2010 would bring. Why wait until the last minute?

Cool, I was wondering when they would release a Prestige DY. I wonder if the pricing is going up? I still like the Roadster Orange Metallic but the DY version is pretty cool and a RG4570...hmmmmm... ;) :mrgreen:
