I miss the Voyager (sort of)!

Remember that one? The ol' Reb Beach model. That was a very cool looking guitar. I feel it would be a little cooler with sharper edges like the Jems and RG insteadof what it had which reminded me a bit of the old EX seres body edges. Also, 24 frets would be most excellent. I'm sure many would appreciate a choice between H-H, H-S-S, and H-S-H configurations. That's all. I just happen to be thinking of it recently.

You actually miss those? LOL

The curves of the Voyager more than resemble the original EX line. The EXes were to the Voyager what the RG line was to the JEM. Same basic construction, minus the "signature" touches. This is why the EX series had 22 frets just like it's big brother the RBM, and also why the EX line had the more rounded edges.

Hi Dennis!

Yeah, I do. They were cool looking but not really my cup of tea. If these were more Jem-like or RG-like, then I would be more into them.

I do too.. so, I got creative and made my own. This guitar was an awful orange, but I fixed it..



I threw in a set of EMG's (they were handy) and it sounds great, it's an old RG560..

I have to sya, that's pretty cool! EXACTLY what I was thinking of. Personally I'd like H-S-H DiMarzio pickups but you obviously caught my drift!

Need I say more?

I have one. Replaced the pickups with all Dimarzios. Its a dream, if it had 24 frets, it'd be my main one...but that's what my jem is for right now.

Here is my baby:






How can you possibly not love the shape of that guitar? The rounded edges are the perfect final touch in that awesome design.

The RBM2 was the best Ibanez had to offer at the time IMHO.

[eelblack2]

It´s a VERY customized RBM1BK

I had it custom made by a couple of luthiers in Mexico.

Thanks for the complements. This is one of my favourite 3 guitars.

I just love the shape of the RBM guitars, it is a guitar ment to be with a natural finish IMHO. The RBM2 and the RBM400 are both beautifull.

[ibanezcollector]

Do you have any contact info on these luthiers
