When does the 1527M arrive to european stores?

I'm a bit afraid of the answer. It doesn't show up in my country's version of Ibanez site and I think someone said it's not coming to Europe...

I'm afraid so too. Anybody knows for sure? Rich?
I was excited when I saw the photos and now it's been a big dissapointment. Too bad.

Check Thoman. If they have them up Europe will get them. Any distributor can order them as long as they make the minimum order.

Thomann just replied to a mail of mine and they say they'll have it in 6-8 weeks, but with no price defined yet. Let's hope for the best.

Don't you just love Thomann?

as I said in another topic, thomann has them listed already. They told me they'll have them in stock probably just by the end of May.

Has ANYBODY bought one yet?

I ordered one last week from my local Ibby dealer and had the store owner call the rep who said that it would be about 25-30 days before the next run is ready for delivery to the states. Who knows, NAMM=Not April Maybe May right?

I've had 4 in stock for months, you couldn't find a better price, and still can't sell one. Go figure.

If it weren't for my determination to go custom on my guitars from now on, you can be assured one of those 1527's would be mine by now Rich. The demand is out there I'm sure!

Rich · #12 05-17-2009, 08:41 PM

That's what I would have thought, but then, here they sit

GuitarBizarre · #13 05-17-2009, 11:09 PM

*shrug*

I dunno. Maybe the world of custom guitar parts and modifications is starting to appeal to more people than just me, the crazy nutjob who wants his guitar to do everything including manufacture certain kitchen appliances usually used for washing dishes in a manual fashion...

Of course, if thats the case, you have only one option...start a custom shop!

So the lesson here is to check with Rich before getting in the queue at the local dealer who could care less about the Ibby's they sell or when they arrive (my last one took 76 days). If I have one more Faux Worn Fender shoved in my face at the local store I'm going to start bringing lighter fluid with me and put on a show worthy of an instrument that "banged up".
