Re: 2005 NAMM Report


JS2 - Definately the original Edge just like the 10ths.

EP7 - that was the schtick from last year, remember we never got the PGM acoustic in the US.

Gotoh does no manufacturing in Fujigen and probably isn't associated with them in any way other than having Ibanez in common.

RG link was pointing to the old directory, sorry about that. Fixed now [but all you had to do was change the directory from 2004 to 2005]

Only done through the S page, I won't get a chance tonight but should be able to finish over the weekend [as far as I ever frinish anyway, if you want specs on Chinese guitars call a dealer ]

Book was on sale of course, $40. Catalogs you have to be a dealer to get, but man are they big, and wide. Guaranteed it won't fit on my bookshelf! ;//

Re: 2005 NAMM Report


Thanks for the Report Rich

Lots of great Info, plus loads of very nice new guitars such as the RG3120/and the new RGT's etc. I am very disappointed that there are no DiMarzio Pickups [I.E. DiMarzio PAF Pro's, etc] on the higher end models, but overall very good result from Ibanez.

Re: 2005 NAMM Report


Guys, is the RG 2120x all done with ? I checked the forum and didn't see a definite answer but it sure isn't at the Namm show.

I forgot to say thanks for putting up the page.

Re: 2005 NAMM Report


I didn't read through all the posts, but here's my comments:

-Prices...eek?
-The finish on that flame-top RGA321? BEAUTIFUL
-New JEM: Looks nice, not nice enough for that price though.
-New JS: Looks nice, ORIGINAL EDGE!?!
-No new XL or 7-strings? sigh.
-New finishes on RGs, saw some things I really liked
-I still think the Edge Pro series bridges look stupid, the Edge and Lo-Pro looked infinitely better, and the ZR trem is very nice

Re: 2005 NAMM Report


You're right, you're gonna catch flack for that. I've owned every single official Floyd Rose made at one point in time or another, including a Pro, and guess what? All of my current guitars have Edge or LoPro Edge trems. The Floyd Pro is a nice trem I guess, if it came in a larger radius and had normal floyd string spacing(it's narrower, which is annoying), it would be much better though.

My only problem is that the Edge and LoPro will go extinct at some point, due to the Edge Pro, and then and only then with I make that switch to an OFR/Pro on my guitars. Simply put, even though you've had bad experiences, I have an Edge trem that turned 17 this year that still works perfect.

People have different tastes, and different uses for things.

Re: 2005 NAMM Report


I'm seeing a lot of confliciting accounts on the official name of the new Jem. Is it Blinding Rock Mirror or Black Rock Mirror?

>But will they fit on your scanner?

No

>Rich, some of the pictures on the rg page aren't working.

Working fine here, if you mean the Prestige page, there's ALLOT on there, maybe just your connection


>IMHO, I think Ibanez should do the right thing & FINALLY get Schaller

Puhlease..... Go start another thread for that rant.

>I'm seeing a lot of confliciting accounts on the official name

The offical "color" is RMR - Rock Mirror. What does the B stand for? In the "new stuff" catalog it does say Black Rock Mirror and since the back is black, I'd guess that's the reference.

Re: 2005 NAMM Report


Last years S470DXQMCN had PSND pickups in it. This year's has INF pickups in it. If you had to choose, which model would you buy based on pickups. Because there aren't any other changes....

And Thank you RICH for the hard work. Those trade shows are a frigging GRIND... Once I get the feedback on these pickups from you informed folks, I can make an intelligent purchase.
