IBANEZ 2013 (who has the inside scoop)

[metalguy]

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.

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.

Also, you're wrong. And kind of a dick.

Thank you for this!!

String alignment actually good, nicer than average piece of rosewood, decent veneer top, headstock a little weak, the aanj holes better than previous, much cleaner and crisp, typical cosmetics, patch of light scratches lower front that weren't polished out enough, "dirty" line to the edge of the veneer, the trem baseplate wiped with something too rough that put light scratches in the cosmo. Run on sentence?

The frets done by one of the Indo's, he's gotten pretty good and even, light on the tool marks, the edge rounding not as round as the best, but for whatever reason this one never got a fret polishing. You can see the ends are very consistent round but rough and not smooth [much less polished], and perpendicular crowning scratching on the frets.

Technical, nut radius very good, bridge radius always too flat, and sometimes erratic [this one flat but smooth], nuts cut low enough they don't need work.

You guys always want to know about setup so, too high of course [2.5ish], neck perfectly straight [too straight], trem block not against the zps bar, way out of tune flat which may actually bring the block to the bar, so pretty typical. I don't have to correct the typical pocket alignment but i have to do a fret polish instead

The thing that kills it for me on neck-thru guitars is the finish on the back of the neck. I find it kind of sticky and distracting.

Are the RBM2 and RBM400 the only ibanez models that came with unfinished necks?

For the love of F**K, lets drop the whole hacking argument and focus on what new toys Ibanez will be coming out with, or might be

Since the rest has been beaten to death and not worth responding to, I'll just agree with this statement!

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?

[Rich]

I'd be guessing at any answer, it's not like I get an advance copy of the new catalog or anything Instead of a spoiler alert I can tell you

UV777BK - discontinued
JS1000BP - discontinued

[jono]

There are leaks already on other sites.

Me? I'm selling my RARE original JS1000BP for only $1000000 (USD), they're RARE now that Rich has officially killed them off!!! RARE I tell you!!!

[Rich]

official leaks or is somebody hacking about in private folders again?

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.
