The unfortunate thing is, many of us here are enthusiasts who are very much past the stage of entry-level guitars. What we need is a few guitars with maple boards in the mid and mid-to-high range. The absolute best solution would be if they made ALL of their guitars with a choice of maple or rosewood. 50/50. There would be absolutely no more complaints about fretboard woods ever again.
After that, all they'd need is better colours. A reintroduction of certain old-school JEM/RG colours such as FA, DY and RF... and if they were to be REALLY daring, make an RG in Loch Ness Green... I would buy one immediately, no questions asked.
And last but not least... reverse headstocks.
Basically, a LNG RG550-style guitar with maple board, offset colour-matched dots (or anything other than plain old black dots in the centre of the board), fully bound body, neck and headstock in BLACK binding (a little more original, and beautifully striking), plus reverse and colour-matched headstock...
The thought of it... is... almost... orgasm inducing!!!
EDIT: I've got it. Inlay the dots across the board starting from the bass side and ending at the treble side. Zachary Guitars do them like this and it looks killer.

How about every dot a different color, like this?

Some of you guys here should work with the ibanez company, all they want to do is to sell the same guitar all the time
Alfred, all I ever wanted was to work as a guitar designer / builder. Working for Ibanez is a dream of mine.Some of you guys here should work with the ibanez company, all they want to do is to sell the same guitar all the time

You're totally right there, even though I'd like to own a silly-coloured JEM (but brand new). It just isn't in tune (scuse the pun) with people's tastes these days and as I've said on this place before, most guitar brands will pander more to popular taste than guitar geeks like ourselves
