Re: Mistake on Ibanez guitar specs? All new R Prestige's have stainless frets except
Although Ibanez is often wildly inconsistent and contradictory, their model numbers do mean something and it relates to features. Although this isn't the first time there's been a 5000 Series RG, they're using that to designate some higher end features, in this case stainless frets and/or Fishman pickups. SMAP is $100 lower on the 7. So it isn't a mistake in the sense that they've at least been consistent with nomenclature.
But I do take your point. Why not offer that guitar as an RG5027XL for $100 more with stainless frets? Seems like a kind of dumb miss there.
How is it nonsensical?
