Oh hey, have you ever seen the JS forum so alive? Maybe Rich should post his NAMM report?

[Rich]

>Well I ddid try to PM Rich but his mail box is full. I think he needs to re-read my post. I never said they were the only. Just the only work of art

Oh dude, I can't agree with you more on that point. The reason is they're the only model where every one was actually different. Based on a guideline but very individual. Every Cosmic Swirl looks like every other, same for the rest of the USCG's, and actually for the most parts the same for the JS4's and 5's. But Donnies are what a real artist would do, a series of paintings each individual to itself. So I apologize for missing your meaning, even though poorly stated [or poorly read]

BTW to all, I'm leaving my inbox and PM's full, I never wanted them to begin with. I hate PM's!

You can turn off your ability to send/receive PMs in "User CP".

Don't get too technical, Glen. Remember Rich has a small monitor, and it's several feet away from his weakened eyes.

I'd be happy just to see this JS2 in person.

Edit -1.

I think it's wrong to try and justify the list price in terms of quality. It's clearly a collectors item, designed for people who have the cash and can spend it on luxuries.

As someone said, Ibanez does pretty good in covering all bases. You can get a cheapo Gio, or a great player's guitar (IMHO a RG3120 can't me matched in terms of quality versus price). If you can't or won't spend 5k on a guitar...don't be a sourpuss! Or else, go rally outside a Beatles convention, where people are paying far more than that for pieces of paper

Finally, the Ibanez people must be laughing at our criticism, (I include myself here ) they run a huge company, and even if they can't play a single note, I'm sure they know pretty well what sells and what not.

someone missed the 3120 price increase memo for 2005 ROTF ...glen

Yippee!!!!

>someone missed the 3120 price increase memo for 2005

Bingo, part of the new flametop price gouge.

>with a retail price of nearly $4k MORE than I paid for my JS10th brand new,

I sure hope that's a typo! I mean I know you stole one on **** for $810 but $1300 new from a dealer?! Otherwise, very good points

Nope- no typo

I was managing a store in Denver when they came out and bought it from myself. I've still got the invoice in the case. It was just over $1300 before tax. Cost + 5% I believe.

[Rich]

Both, as usual

[jerrye]

good news,
looking forward to your always enjoyable report as usual.

any pictures of the JS as yet?

Don't forget the book is also being released there (aparently)

[Rich]

The reps don't even know about the JS yet.
