Anyone have one? What do you think?

I have one of the DBS finish ones - nice 'burst, binding around the body edge... comfort contours...

Aside from a rewire to my personal specs with different pickups, the only things I did to it were to scallop the top four frets Jem-style (very used to this, so it's a standard thing I do to all of my 24-fret Ibanez instruments) and to add a set of Planet Waves locking tuners.
I'm a very 'bendy' player, so this helps me quite a lot...

It's a lovely instrument; I come from having the Telecaster as my first love of the electric guitar world... so this addresses that, but with a very 'race car' Ibanez feel...

If you're one for hard tails (I'm not, but I just had to get this one) it's a great instrument all around.

Cheers.

Thanks , I'm a real hardtail fan.

If you're pondering one of these and like hardtails, as you say you do, then I don't think you'd go wrong.

All Access Neck Joint sweetens the deal even more, btw... 24 frets with full access... 430mm radius (standard RG/Jem MIJ radius) ... nice.

Cheers.

Thanks Steve. I see they used to come in Natural and sunburst and now only in black or red. A real shame as I would love a natural one.

Guess, I'll keep my eyes peeled on the Bay.

I got lucky and found a /barely/ used 'burst one hanging in a local shop on clearance... still had plastic on the back and such.
I'm definitely most impressed with the 'burst, but a natural one would also be a very nice choice... the solids don't really do it for me.

I have a hole bunch of them, in my opinion the coolest guitar Ibanez ever made.
Feels like our loved RG but looks, well... more mature.

... definitely the fact that it very much feels like a racy RG-type instrument...
Looks are awesome, especially if you're one for the Tele-style body, which I am... my original favourite electric...

So, Magnus, which versions do you have?

I actually have almost all of them.
All colors of the 2620, the black 1620 and the white 320 (those are actually amazing, I like the mahogany body).
Also have the FR8620-DA (the J-custom version), but I never use that one.

I also have a couple of custom FR's (LACS and Japan).

My main guitar are a LACS FR with a EDGE Pro tremolo, mahogany/mapletop body and maple fretboard.

I feel in love with the model even before it came out.
It feels like my loved RG's to play but have a look that visually works in any type of music (and as a session player is that part very important, a RG have a image that make it look wrong in many styles of music. I don't personalty don't think RG's look wrong, but many of the people who hire me do. The y sort of have a "first to the 12th fret gets a cookie" sort of stamp in many peoples eyes).

The rounded over "horn" make them hang a bit different in a strap than RG's, weight wise.
I didn't like that so much in the beginning, but now I love it.

Hi there Magnus!
I've got my own custom too!! not by LACS or Japan... but by local builder LOL

hope you like it...
A neckthru custom all mahogany FR....

Now that was one very sexy FR.

Please, give it to me :-)

/Magnus

LOL! Fly here dude, I'd be more than happy to trade it with one of your RG..

Where are you in this crazy world?
I travel around a lot.
I be happy to trade for any of my RG's any day.

as per my location says : Indonesia.

Let me know if you are doing any Ibanez clinic here.

Magnus - great collection... I'm quite curious about the LACS EdgePro equipped one, since that would certainly be an option I'd want to explore (I do prefer to have a trem, but the FR2620DBS is just TOO nice to ignore, hence my adding it to the herd)...

I jumped to your site and saw some pics, too... very cool.
The J Custom vine is my favourite 'standard' inlay out there currently - I quite like the Jem vine, don't get me wrong... but the J Custom one is super-nice and different and not directly associated with the Jem (even though those weren't the first to have pretty much that same vine pattern).

psychoshredder - nice custom FR...
