I saw that guitar yesterday here in Mexico.
He tuned it in Drop-D and used it to play about 5 songs, in the back it has a sticker from ice man or whatever it's called the dude in the surfing with the alien cover. That guitar looked amazing!!!!!!
I was lucky enough to see Joe 30 minutes ago live here in Chile and I was amazed with this new flamed-finished guitar. He played 3 songs with it: Time Machine, Oriental Melody and Friends (this one at the end of the show).
Of course, it´s the guitar posted above in this topic, but there´s something you can´t notice there: the finish of the body is the silvered one you see on the chromeboy (or JS10th) guitar. So, it´s not just a normal JS1000 guitar with flames on it! And the finish on the back of the guitar seemed like the 90th (green-to-purple) finish, although it could have been an optic effect on that one.
I hope this helped a bit and it would be great if someone can post some more pictures of this guitar.

At least here in Chile, he used a JS1000WH, the Flames JS, the Mahogany 7 and a Chrome one.
Mike Manning told me the chrome one was a reissue made of ALUMINUM. To the best of my knowledge, the 2's were wood and the 10's luthite, but I've never heard of aluminum.....I must say, that day MM didn't seem to be in the mood for chatting
Tokai has been chrome-plating aluminum-bodied Talbos for years. I'm surprised Ibanez didn't try it sooner.
If they did do an aluminum-bodied chrome reissue, i'd have an order in to Rich and start saving my pennies and the moment i got word, official or otherwise.
And if they did do a reissue, it would be priced ridiculously. I'm not impressed by the way the prices jumped from the 10s and HAMs to the 2K editions...
