I haven't been on here in years and honestly I probably won't come back and see any responses to this. I just happened upon it in a google search.
Rich. Dude, seriously. You are so ridiculous. I love Ibanez as much as the next person, but that doesn't excuse your complete lack of understanding when it comes to the internet.
When something is posted on the internet in any folder, in any space, basically ANYWHERE that I can type in a url and see it, it is public domain. It's not on a private, secured folder. If it was and I typed it in, I WOULD NOT BE ABLE TO SEE IT. What you seem to think hacking is is akin to when I leave my facebook logged in and my wife posts something under my name.
You're ignorant. Plain and simple. I don't give a crap what they posted, if all it took was searching a known domain for urls. If Ibanez, or anyone, posted something to a publicly searchable domain, it is public property. If they then say, "Oops, did not mean to do that, do not repost these", and you still post them, it's wrong.
Hopefully Ibanez has taken better precautions this year and put them in private domains or offline servers.
Say whatever you want in response. I don't care, you're wrong. You'll always be wrong in this matter if that's what you think hacking is. It's basic internet understanding.
Way to drag up a dead argument again dude. Rich had a valid point. I see where he's coming from as well as the other guy. However, regardless of Internet rules, or public domain or folders or whatever IT crap you want to bring up, the pics belonged to Ibanez, they did not put them up on their site advertising new models. Someone stumbled upon and got lucky finding what they found. I'm willing to bet that the guy who found those RG pics immediately said to himself " holy ****!! I found something I'm not supposed to see!" That's where the problem lies. That and he posted those pics.
There's no debating the moral issue, public or not. I feel like Rich was defending a valid issue, and by you calling him a dick, well that makes you an even bigger dick.

Okay, so in an effort to get the thread back on track...
I'm wondering if there will be, generally, more emphasis on the Premium line as opposed to the Prestige models. This seems to be the trend. While Premiums are nice I'd like to see more options on that end, particularly solid colors. I'd also like to see the Prestige line remain robust rather than thin out.
Can we get that much of a spoiler, Rich?
Will we see more Premiums and fewer Prestiges?
Okay I'll derail and add my $0.02 as I have a CS degree as well. I think this depends on your definition of "hacking". Hacking, as I see it, is not even dependent on there being a computer system. Indeed much "hacking" can be done the old fashioned way; like going through someone's garbage bin for personal info. Indeed social engineering is one of the best ways to get things like passwords and such; the low-hanging fruit if you will. Yeah, there are guys sitting in communes drinking gallons of Mountain Dew staring at libraries of code, but I think "hacking" can also be considered simply subverting a system. One can hack a lottery or "hack" their way out of paying a parking ticket simply by finding a way to subvert the system. Is it uber low tech? Yes. Is it hacking. IMO, yes!
So, that's that. In closing....
Pretty dumb would be the misconception that hacking has a narrow definition limited to the Chinese hiding viruses on the USDOD servers, or commanding Iran's centrifuges into high gear destroying years of progress.....
If you're doing anything in somebody elses website you're not supposed to be doing, it's hacking. I read it on the internet so you know it's true.
I'm glad the BP is dead, it's been hanging areound 19 years, and that's a long time for a guitar I never liked. If they kill off the 1000 and add another 1200 color I'd be very happy.
I haven't been interested in the JS in a long time but if I had the disposable funds a JS1200CA would be mine. 1200 in a second color would be cool to see.
- RG body
- Wizard I neck
- Fixed bridge (something simple like the Gibraltar, not a TOM and not that monstrosity that's on the fixed bridge Jems) that is smooth, with individually adjustable saddle heights, and no screws that stick out and poke you in the palm when muting
- HH w coil splitting
- Maple neck
- A higher cutaway, like the EMBB Petrucci
- A neck with better access than the standard AANJ
- Option of shark teeth inlays or dots (in case I want to scallop the neck, which I probably would, and I hear it's hard to scallop a shark tooth inlay neck)
- Volume knob further away from the bridge
- Inlay color matches body color, like this:
Except I don't think that would work white white. White inlays on a maple fretboard would be hard to see.
Of course I'm the only person who would be interested in such a guitar.
I like the standard Gibraltar that comes on regular Indo fixed bridge RGs. It's a great design and is pretty comfortable.
I wonder, though, as Vai has been using more 7's of late - is the UV sticking around and just no longer being sold in that horrid black with the logo behind the bridge? Is it getting a new color or even a basic black like the '97 UV7BK? THAT would be long overdue and awesome.
I found this peculiar when it was posted. Of course, it could have been a "strategic leak" a la Apple Computer. However, if it wasn't, couldn't this guy get a hand-slapping from Ibanez?
I'd like to see a USA Ibanez website that redirects to something made for a phone web browser. Just sayin'.
Other markets that run through the non-US web server have them.
Mobile-specific sites aren't even necessary anymore with modern CSS techniques. Google "responsive web design" and see how we've been designing/coding sites for the past 2 years now. Surprised Ibanez is so far behind.
Endorsers are always the biggest leak. Steve blew the EVO relic last year by telling somebody about it at an experience meet. That guy posted about it here that night in some established thread, and it went right over everybody's heads. Nobody even made a comment
I wouldn't never leak anything. I only give vague clues to keep you guessing
But I've been begging them for silver for 10 years, the perfect poor mans chromeboy that's actually playable, and what did they do? Put it on the 1600! ;//
I'd love to see this available here. There are a number of guitars on the Japanese page that I'd love to have.
