I've seen one at the Guitar Center in north Phoenix about 6 months ago(guessing on the time line). I don't usually go to that one so I'm not sure if it's still there. It was over 4k . That is one seriously beautiful guitar !
Ditto, it looks like the ESP that has too much abalone on it. It is completely over the top and would look far nicer without all of the abalone binding and I bet it has the price to match! Theres classy and then there is "overdone".

I still think this would look far better if it was a dark color instead of natural... some of that 'too much' feeling would go away if it was say the blue of the PGM90...
I'd also like to know how one of these ended up in a Guitar Center... it's a custom model manufactured exclusively for a store chain in Japan in a quantity of something like 7 if I recall. So for one to be at a GC somebody bought it and imported it from Japan and then sold it to GC, which strikes me as odd.

No, I won't shoot you. I agree it's too much. Ibanez just doesn't know when to stop sometime. The top is flippin' sweet--I'd love to see it with color. The binding is just...over the top.
For those of you that want a darker version, there is a Trans Black version of the HRG-2000. I saw it it an Ikebe-Gakki ad in Young Guitar back in 2000. (actually I had that ad blown up and stuck on my locker door back when I was in school, I actually still have one of the print outs I made here.. somewhere..).
I'd still sooooooooo want one of those... one day.. ..it will be mine.....

I like it the way it is. But would like to see a version without the abalone, might like it better
