What does everyone think? I'd like to play it but aesthetically it's not straying very far from the standard run SZ series...

Looks... quite ordinary. Bit of a Richie Sambora thing going on with the stars up the fretboard too. Forgive my lack of enthusiasm for most signature models, if you would. I'm rarely impressed with any of them. I usually just think "man, you could have anything you could dream up, straight from Ibanez, and that is the best you can do!!?"...

With the exception of the early Jems, of course. :)

Hmmmmm

Well I agree and disagree.

I agree that Marty could of done a bit better but he probably
kept it in mind to be somewhat different and stay away
from the RG's Vais and RBM's and such.
It kind of reminds me of a wanna be PRS sort of.

As for the stars, well you have to keep in mind that
Richie did that way back in the early 80's and it was a Kool thing.
In fact to this day those Kramer Sammys are bringing in big bucks and
are highly sought after including his Fender version. As for Marty's stars, ummmmmm Kinda partial, maybe
if that bottom star was smaller.




To each his own I geuss.
