Yea, let's all pass judgement on something nobody has had a chance to play or test yet.

There's enough information available currently to pass judgement.

there is enough info to pass judgement on how it looks, not how it performs. any attempt to do so would be guesswork no?

Or extrapolation from experience with units with similar components or design.

i must say that they look tasty... i think i'm going for the white RG... if they come to america...

 

[quiksilverdew]

I personally can't wait. I'm trying (and hopefully liking and buying) the white model as soon as it hits shelves!

 

[Codyyy]

No more string retaining bars on the RG's.

However, I'm not interested in those so much. I think the ball bearing hinge things were the best thing about the ZR.

This, however, looks AWESOME.

Hope it comes out in the USA

 

[MattyCakes]

it better cause im gonna get it

 

[Yousef]

Sweet. The new trem on the RG looks pretty nice to me and I would love to have one. I would definitely buy the white one if I could afford it.

 

[brothersnowgone]

Yeah, looks like they rushed this out! Wonder what its made out of this time, cheap cast alloy or steel...

technically the original edge and lo-pro's we play are cheap cast alloy

aka guesswork... but educated guesswork.

Considering there's a "sneak preview" for it on the Ibanez USA website, I'm guessing it is.

I think this is the pick of whats been shown so far, but I'm waiting to see the S with the quilted top that was in the MIJ S poster.

Either way, i'm definately gonna be the owner of a brand spanking new MIJ S as soon as they become available in Australia.

Rock on!

 

[ColinMmmmm]

Pretty soon the MIJ S series is gonna rule the planet . . .

 

[Unknown Doodl3.2]

By looks alone, this new trem looks sweet! I personally dislike the edge pro design and this looks like a big improvement IMO.

 

[screamndemon69]

So the "plug" on the upper side of the base plate is an intonation tool? Interesting

Definitely these are all moves in the right direction but won't hold me breath for locking studs to return or be re-engineered.

 

[Vinco]

For me, this "plug" looks like a second hole for the trem-arm.

Japanese are the king of standardization and it looks like they designed a trem fitting both righty and lefty guitars.

 

[Codyyy]

I meant specifically the MIJ S with the Brown/black finish, I like it a lot more than the quilt.

 

[arnab]

have u guys checked the ikebe gakki site? they already have the new '08 line listed

 

[ColinMmmmm]

Links? (I can't read Japanese . . . )
