Sign the petition if you'd like to see Ibanez Re-Issue the 1989 S540LTD in 2009.
Since the RG550 was re-issued for it's 20th anniversary, it would be great if the S series could be too. The S series was called the "Saber" up until '89 so 2009 would be it's 20th anniversary.
The three finishes are BK, LR, and DY shown in this catalog pic:

It would also have the neck binding and sharktooth inlays as shown on the LTD from that picture.

I'll sign the petition, but i'd rather have them re-issue that Alex Skolnick one, it looks awesome!

These are the guitars in question:

LR

BK

There was a petition with about 2,500 signatures for neon colored RG's before the RG20th's came out that the buyers at Ibanez took into great consideration. If enough people sign there is a chance these will be made, please help!

I'd have to go with what Joe said, I'd rather have the guitar Alex has in his hands.
-
They look like the Frank Gambale models (FGMs).
I think they should reissue the rg565 to be honest.

Yep, totally agree. Maybe they'll do those next year when I can afford them?
I'll be all spent up this year if I manage to get my hands on the latest two reissues ;)

No Silver or Purple?
I've been trying to get a fairly decent one from evil-bay. Maybe an RG560 would be a good one to reissue too.
-
I'll sign if someone could also start a petition for a "fat neck" option on the S-series (and the HR Giger models while I'm thinking about it). And a Rocket Roll reissue.
-
i want a maple fretboard fixed bridge S. Yum.
-
I signed the petition.
Allen West from Obituary used one of the black ones for a time. I seriously wanted one (as well as the later S540FMT model with a maple top, oval inlays & gold hardware) but for some reason I dithered & never got it - I've always regretted that.
They were much higher quality than the current S models...
-
The Rocket Roll idea from Philly would be a good suggestion.
-
There might even be some interest, especially since this chap has one:

I'd be terrified of a double-neck PGM though. I think that would gain more popularity to be honest.

They all look the same to me :? Most RGs are either pointy or rounded pointy. Not my thang.
