this was a bit of effort to get hold of... after spending a miserable day at work i had an email from andertons, tempting me to buy an epi ZW camo (i must've been depressed that day!). Anyway, i think i owned the zakk for all of a day before i saw the error of my ways and went back for an exchange!
loving the neck on this :D

always loved the finish on those models...nice
-
very pretty :)
congratulations, and health to play
-
I love the old Sabre models and the ones like this that have since evolved from them.
I miss the one in my avatar pic; would consider getting a new one if I could justify the outlay
-
nice! :D
-
sweeet those ZR trems look reallly good
-
Ohhh, I think this guitar is sweet! :D
-
very nice enjoy :D
-
I like!
HNGD!
-
Congrats from me too- that looks great.
-
is that the spalted maple one...nice
-
Yeah, I like that.
I think I've said it before, but Ibanez really do seem to make "universal" guitars - guitars you can imagine being suited to any genre...
Hmmmm... I wonder...
-
Congratulations on the Lovely guitar I've got this version

Only difference is the top. Bloody great playing and sounding guitar acousticaly. I did find the bridge pick-up awful and muddy but a Miracle Man solved that issue. Middle and neck pickups are great though. The ZR- Trem wonderful once set-up correctly and it doesn't dive when doing doublestop bends.
-
I'm not a superstrat fan but these Ibanez models appeal more than most, nice design! And I think the ZR trem looks interesting as a Floyd alternative.

There has always been one thing that has put me off the S models.
And thats the pointless little cr@ppy bit of plastic around the selector switch it just isnt needed.
I however love how the gutiars play and sound.
I have however spotted some newer models that dont have the bit of plastic so i may look into one for the future.

Exactly - they look much classier than the RGs...then they throw on the bit of plastic. :evil:
Other than that, glorious looking guitar TS.

I always assumed that's there because the body's so thin at the edge it isn't deep enough for the 5-way switch to sit all the way under the top?
They've always had the plastic cover AFAIK, even on the old Saber and Frank Gambale models 20 years ago.
-
Interesting Philly, I am have seen newer models in stores that dont have them and the screws just sit nicely in the body maybe theyve made the route a bit shallower to compensate.
-
Well, you know Ibanez is hardly my specialist subject, I could most certainly be wrong! :lol:
But I have a couple of '80s catalogues with the early RG, Radius (JS-style), Power and Saber models. They made a big thing about the thinness of the Saber/S body, and it's the only one with that black plastic bit - it just looks like it's there to raise the switch up an extra couple of mm.

I suppose that makes sense actually. I didn't really consider that. Still is a nasty blemish on an otherwise great looking guitar though, even if it is practical.

Great move dumping off the Zakk Epi... Those things suck! Nice Ibby man. :D
-
Oh yeah also when i was trying new guitars yesterday i did notice that the new S series dont have the bit of plastic but its only some of the £600+ prestige ones

Maybe they designed a new switch which fits the thin body? Aaaah, I dunno! :lol:

Maybe, you never know the new zero edge trems that they have on them are very interesting too, i dont quite get how they work you can drop tune it without everything going out of tune.
