So why cant Ibanez start up the usa customs - and American M

[vwall]

These were the best made guitars out there, w/ the exception to MC's and high end Jem and Pettrucci models.

I really want them to re open that line of guitar...in the Usa, of course.

I think this has been widely discussed and the concensus is that Ibanez is making J-Customs now instead at the factory, leaving the USA shop for endorsed artists. If you look at the USA Custom info in Jemsite|Guitars you'll see Ibanez never made the USA Customs 100% and relied on outside vendors for parts and/or labor. Neither series of American Masters were physically made by Ibanez... glen
