I'll keep the 6 string ones as URLs otherwise it'd be overkill.

Same available options as the normal right handed ones, i.e. matching headstock and piezeo pickup. Roll on 2009! Dunno about the price but I'd imagine it'll be a little bit more than the righty ones.

I already plan on getting one, they are going to be about $1500 for the 6, $2100 for the 7 and tack on $1000 for the Family Reserves.

Gah, I looked for other threads as well. I'll probably give the FR's a miss (I wasn't impressed with the tops when I saw them at the London Guitar Show) but.. well, a 6 AND a 7 would be being greedy...right?

....

OK I want both. Matching headstock's different paint jobs and piezo pickup. Now to get saving!

[Lefty Robb]

all I want is a family reserve Mystic 7.

Somebody must have made a mistake at EB because this can't be right.... Better not tell them about it .

AWESOME!!!!!!

AWESOME!! Finally something to cheer about . .. Now, i have to make a choice between the RG1570 and EBJPMM.. Wonder how the whammy plays on this one..

ARGHHH.. Prolly' might end up getting both and customize the RG..

woohhooo.. I am getting excited just thinkin about it..

Thanks for posting this guys!!

Forgive my igonorance but whats a BFR ?? and what does the Piezo do ? Is it a Piezo enables bridge ?? How does that help .. Sorry for all the questions ..

[Lefty Robb]

Piezo is a pickup inside the bridge that makes it sound just like an acoustic, BFR is Ball Family Reserve, basically I guess it just gets some added attention during crafting and such, and it comes with a little plaque signed by Ball and JP, not worth the extra $1000 if you ask me, plus you cant get them in Mystic Dream so screw that. and the inlays are not worth the extra $300 or so.

Thanks Rob.. really appreciate the answers.. been an Ibanez guy for long so kinda not aware of these nomanclatures.. also,could anyone tell me whats a KOA ?? beats me really..

This could be my first non-Ibanez axe, so I am pretty excited

[Lefty Robb]

Koa is a fantastic tone wood.

Koa (Acacia koa) from Hawaii. Golden brown color with dark streaks and a lustrous sheen. Koa wood occasionally develops a curly or flamed figure. Regardless of any figuring, koa seems to have a bass response that is slightly less than that of rosewood and treble response that is slightly less than that of mahogany. The result is a very equally balanced instrument.

[Nik_Left_RG]

Oh man.. That sounds sweet!!! Thanks Rob.. Always there with the answers.. Appreciate it ...So, has anyone got it yet ??

[Nik_Left_RG]

http://www.music-man.com/instruments/jp_6.php.. is this the mystic dream ? I am gonna have to go with Rob .. 1000 extra for koa etc seems too much!!

[Lefty Robb]

Yup, that's mystic Dream, IMHO the only color to get! Or should I say, colors
