Oh wow.. Looks similar to the RG3XXV, except with a super wizard neck and better bridge!!


Love that "emerald green", looks more like a teal to me.

Someone in the know please verify these are coming to the US. I see them on sale OS for about $1,100 so I hope it's the same here if they do.

 

[Dani DCR]

The orange one is very cool!

MAP at $999. Small allocation at first but then it'll open up. Production is a long way off from anything near normal.

 

[jaxadam]

Well how about that. I think I see one of those orange ones in my future.

 

[Rich]

After I read the email again there will be another allocation sometime later. I asked for clarification but it sounds like a limited, not added to the genesis catalog.

These guitars want X2N's in the bridge position. 8)

 

[LonePhantom]

Damn, of course these finally become a reissue when I have no funds what so ever.

Oh, I already have plans. Maybe not the X2N, but this will be a fun pickup swap project.

 

[Ashurbanipal]

Oh man, what a treat! It's nice to see reissues of classic models like these (with tweaks like multi-piece, voluted necks).

 

[Cap Crunch]

Now this is a model from the old days that I missed and wanted! Not into shredder guitars but, this may be the one that will satisfy the itch.

Much like a lot of the old Ibanez finishes it doesn't really look the same in photos as it does in person

^ This is mine the day I bought it 5 years ago

Anyone else pre order? I did.... secretly! An orange one with case.

Yes! Much better! Thanks...

Love the color! Did you replace the pickups?

Oh I dumped a ton of money into it :mrgreen:

Here's a more recent photo:

-DiMarzio Virtual Vintage '54 Pro
-BKP Holydiver
-Brass big block
-Custom made knobs

It had an HS-2 and a Tone Zone when I bought it, but I also have the stock pickups. The original stock pickups are pretty good and I'm actually using the stock bridge pickup in a parts guitar right now; it honestly sounds pretty much exactly like a MegaDrive. I think it's a little sad that this reissue doesn't include a reissue of the HB2 bridge pickup because it was pretty killer.

 

[Cap Crunch]

Looks great! Ibanezes just look right with DiMarzio straps! I'm giving the stock pickups a fair shot when mine arrives. I'm actually more into strong, medium output pickups and not super hot ones. Will definitely look into the brass block for mine.
