IBANEZ 2013 (who has the inside scoop)! What will be new,,what to be expected for us ibanez fans who just cant wait. anyone know post here
Bunk. Finding out for yourself is one thing, running to your keyboard and telling the internet is begging for your 15 seconds.I doubt it's really a case of people looking for '15 seconds of fame', it's more likely just excitement at finding out that there's going to be a new toy soon.
You have me interested. If I get another guitar and it's Ibanez, you seem to be the guy! It's cool to see the micro-innovations of any company from year to year, but nothing beats getting something, still good, that a dealer/website has to move.The UK will have to answer to Japan for their choices.
The deep discounts only come with closeouts. When Ibanez has excess inventory that isn't going anywhere, just like us dealers, they have limited space and stuff has to move. Extra incentives move the wood, and why you can find pricing cheaper than original dealer pricing, like the 3570's I bought out, or the 3250DY's I have now. I can sell them for hundreds less than I would have paid for one.
Your core customers will always come to your booth. Your goal is to attract people who aren't currently your customer, which is why you want some hook to draw them in. At a huge show, there's tons of booths, seminars, etc to eat up your time and mental bandwidth. You want people to make coming to your booth a priority. If they've already seen all your new models on the internet, they might not. When and if they get there, they might be mentally tuned out or just desensitized from seeing so much stuff.Really? Don't most come to booth because they want to see all your models, not just the latest year?
Even then, about what percentage of entire line is uniquely a new year's offerings, versus what is actually there which I assume in general people want to come and see?
If you are Ibanez, won't most of the people be there, attending your table in general to see common but extremely popular double locking trem hard rock guitars RG, S, Vai, Satch (and to lesser extent Artists, Artcores, and many non-trem instruments), regardless of year of debut?
There isn't, or hasn't been one (white six string) already with Ibanez?Woah! Woah! Woah! Woah! Woah! Woah! Woah! Woah! Woah! Woah! Woah! Woah! Woah!
Woah! Woah! Woah! Woah! Woah! Woah!
Can you scroll to the left? Is there a white version too or is there a white 6 with a 3/3 headstock coming out?!?
