Nothing really caught my eye (lucky for my bank account) apart from the Jackson Adrian Smith. Though it will most likely be horribly overpriced like most of Jackson's guitars so i probably won't be getting it.

OMG- the ESP 401 series is AWESOME!

WOOOOOOOO!!! I am stoked! Hopefully their changes will be good changes though. WOO!!!!! BRING ON 2009! YEEEAAAAHHHH!!!
Oh and the Ibanez are going more into Dimarzio. Dimarzio had really neon-coloured knobs etc. seems like Ibanez and DiMarzio are gonna have hand parties more frequent it seems.
I don't like any of them. But ESP YEEEEEEEEEAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!
You can sense my excitement.
-
Yeah, see all this allready I think, the new 3570s look awesome, shame about the rosewood boards. They're releasing 2 new 7 strings this year aswell, atleast one of which has a maple board!!!
-
Ah yeah, the new forest looks nice, shame about the pickups.
-
Those CZ ESPs look like something out of Pirates of The Carribean! I like the hot chick ones though, very 80s :)
Nice to see maple board Ibanez's back too....
-
If the white, maple-board Ibanez RG1527 looks anywhere near as good as my mental picture of it I'm probably going to have to rob a bank this year...
-
Nothing interesting there for me, sadly.
Gibson '59 50th anniversary will be this year, anyone want a bet on how much it will cost?
-
$5,000US and £10,000 sterling.

I like the CZ ESPs, tasty.

Knowing Gibson, probably your first-born.

like the last esp

The black flame LTD EC1000 with the Floyd could cure me of my floyd aversion ;)
-
There are some cool guitars coming out, but this is just awful:

Yeah that new hardtail Jem is truly hideous. I am likeing some of the new maple boarded Ibbys.
-
I like the new s series models.
-
I'd actually like the hardtail Jem (apart from the ludicrous Vai logo of course) if it wasn't for that goofy looking bridge.
Ibanez seem determined to make their own over-fiddly hardware but a standard Gotoh hardtail would look fine and do the job perfectly.
-
I'm very interested in the Maiden sigs. If that Dave Murray strat had a rosewood board, it'd be ideal. Be interesting to see how much they cost - if they're reasonable, I might hold off on buying a US Deluxe HSS Strat like i was planning...
-
Just tried the 2008 Les Paul standard's. Very nice, tried 3 and the variation was quite large, but the best of the 3 was lovely. And seeing as they've been released so late they are more or less the 2009 anyway :)
-
I'm really, really digging ESP's lately...
-
Jackson Adrian Smith Sig.. White with Black plate and maple board.. PLEASE!!
Then I can sit at home watching "Maiden England" and play along to "Wasted Years" with a truly huge smile on my face. PDT_006 PDT_010

Blasphemer!! :shock: :shock:There must be only Maple.

Hahaha, what can I say...I just can't get on with maple boards :) I think I'd be having the rosewood necked Smith sig, and swapping the pickguard for a black one.
-
I like the look of the Dave Murray signature, but if it's accurate it'll have the vintage radius and frets, which I'm not too crazy about.
And thinking about it, did he ever put a Floyd on that particular Strat? He's had black maple-necked Strats with Floyds, but I don't think he actually carved up the Kossoff Strat itself.

I'm not sure he ever did either. I think it still had the vintage trem on it. It says on Wiki he stopped using it in 1990, but since it isn't referenced that can't be definitive.
-
Found a pic (looks quite old) and there's definitely no Floyd on there

this is very nice! the other new RGs are ugly as hell itself... i hate RGs with pickguard, i am disgusted by plain neon coloured guitars with cheap coloured plastic knobs and stuff like that... the white one with maple fingerboard is better than the rest, anyway...
the new ESPs look great... i usually don't like "painted" guitars, at least not with the usual stock paintings full of skulls and flames, but the CZ series kicks serious ass! in particular i love the look of the viper... great!
EC401s look like EC1000s but are much cheaper, and this is a good thing...
as usual i'd never buy any signature model... and can't imagine who would ever buy a distressed pink guitar...

The whole neon thing is to do with DiMarzio. They had the whole colored neon knobs etc. and since Ibanez and DiMarzio came together to make the DiMarzio/IBZ pickups I suppose they went one step further (or maybe backwards since they're shite?)
I love the idea with the CZ guitars, different ideas for each one. especially the rib cage like design on the Viper.
Are you talking about the relic Page Hamilton? I know a few people who are crazy about it, lol..

Getting so fed up of Ibanez using those abalone stripes down the middle to hide that the top isn't bookmatched... Sneaky bar-stewards.

Errrr? I think they're just trying to bring back the great 80s Ibanez styling. There's nothing particularly new about these guitars....

of course you'r right... but i HATE 80s style and i was very glad when it went - almost forgotten - in the darkest corner of my nightmares... now they're increasingly resuming it and it's not good... :x
