IBANEZ 2013 (who has the inside scoop)

[pacs360]

I guess Ibanez will release more boring RG models (non-Prestige, non-Premiums)

[suffian1]

they should do a custom shop like esp..

that would be awsome, only problem is it will be to expensive compared to a prestige model, even you needed to customize the prestige it would still be cheaper.

if the price was comparable to prestige, or J. Custom, I would order one. just the way I want it.

and they should incorporate your signature into it.
sort of like a signature model, to make unique and valuable

[suffian1]

our own signature? wow..I'll be going like "hey Stevie (Vai)..I've got my own axe now, only it cost me my car each"...hehehh

If you don't mind being seen from space the RG1XXV has a pick guard and rosewood board. I'm happy with it.

So what was the 4th Anniversary model for the RG 25th thing? Or did I miss it somewhere?

I believe they were all realeased:

RG1XXV
RG2XXV
RG3XXV
and
S1XXV

[jeremywills]

Oh ok I was under the impression there were 4 RGs. Didn't realize the S one counted as one of the 4.

Thx.

So in 2013 hoping theres more maple board love and bold colors.

I'll try to sneak some pics on set up day...

[Rich]

I'm pretty sure Ibanez doesn't want you releasing early pictures of theirs any more than you would want Ibanez releasing any pictures of something you might want to "reveal" at the show.

[khaas]

I sure hope they do - I could use the press! I'm sure they feel the same way...

There's a ton of picture takers & press in the room on setup day, I always give interveiws and allow pics. I want the dealers lining up Thursday AM early!

However, the reality of it is I probably won't have time. I had pics of the 70 last year and never got them up..

BY THE WAY RICH - it would be nice to meet you this year.

[Rich]

They would never appreciate any representaive of any other brand revealing anything of theirs. There is nothing cool about that. And all the press there, none of them release anything day before. Nothing is ever released till the morning of the show. They have enough problems with hackers in their picture folders without having to worry about competitors at the show before the doors open.

I was going to hit the Philly show but got caught up that weekend.

[khaas]

The Philly show was pretty good this year. A cool mix of old & new stuff, a good turn out, and we sold a bunch of guitars. What else is there?
