Looks awesome!!

What's also interresting...someone pointed out on the mesh forum that this is accually a prestige Ibanez...doesn't say custom...I donno if this is normal for a custom, but hopin maybe it'll b released to the public :-D

that guy has seriously short legs

Looks... small, like it has a standard scale...

too plain for me tho, matte gray, no inlays...

Yea too plain for a custom right....so maybe it will b a public release :-D

I find its "simplistic" design really cool. I love the look of it - but what does Dino Cazares need an eight-string for? He barely uses more than the bottom four - just get a baritone 7, or maybe even a six.

Oh my God. That picture makes his legs look even shorter.

is he wearing a skirt? how metal ! \m/ :lol:

Now that is one cool guitar! I would take one right now, no questions asked!

lol! funny

URGH!!! IM HYPERVENTILATING!!!!! is ibanez gunna bring out a 8 string??? oh god!!! now i have to start saving!!!! holy craperoonies!!!

ive also noticed that it has a LO Pro TREM, wich i can remember people debating wether it would work or not, i think this means yes... but why would dino need a trem? as far as i know he blocks his and ive never heard him solo...

^^ Says here that the only reason Dino wants a trem is for the fine tuners. http://www.ibanezregister.com/Gallery/cazares/gal-prestige8.htm

But seriously, this looks awesome. I hope Ibanez actually realeases it, I would prefer a fixed bridge but would definetely grab one either way.

it is getting close to the NAMM show (Jan 20th?) given its only nearly november but time goes quick, i wouldnt put it right out of the picture, i think its time to start saving dont you??

anyone eles think this guitar will be outragously over priced??

Please, Please, Please let that go into production with the 8 string Trem.

OMG

I NEEED one

yep, starting tomorrow im saving for one of these, i mean i may have only just got a new guitar today (after 3 months of waiting mind) and i may be a student.... BUT, i WILL own one of these if they are made into a production model

i think id be willing to pay up to £2000 for one, but they may be more if its a limited run (which i hope it is, exclusive 8 string ibanez club anyone?)

but i hope it dosent come with EMG's Stock, id personally preffer the Meshuggah setup but i dont think too many people would be happy with one pup (i would though, you can always route a second one out) plus im not sure how practical an 8 string trem might be, so heres hoping they go for a FX Lo Pro..

IBANEZ!!! MAKE THESE!!! ONE POTENTIAL CUSTOMER HERE!!!
