I'm already starting to save up for this, I just hope i'm not let down when I finally get to play one.
Seems like 2007 will be a good year for Ibanez, more pictures here

they could be at least a bit more original about it. but by the looks of it, it'll have one of those set-through necks.. which is nice
ibanez needs more maple or ebony fretboard guitars and first of all, better necks! not to mention hardware.
they are on the right way with the colors IMO
though, i MUST say, that white V looks nice. needs that ibanez 3+3 headstock though
-
While the Warrior does look awesome, the Xiphos is going to be alot cheaper. It was designed by Muhammed of Necrophagist so I can only imagine it's going to have a really thin neck and a set neck with a sculpted heel like a thru neck.
Ibanez are also bringing out 20th anniversary RG550's with Maple fretboard and Bright colours. Though no one knows how much they are going to cost yet.

designed?
it was designed by BC Rich originaly ;)
i realy dont get why they stick such thin necks on guitars... it being faster or easier to play has more to do with the fretboard, frets and shape of the neck, not overall thickness.
i realy wonder what it will go for. IMO, it looks wrong..besides it's made in korea (not to rag on worksmanship, but you do get what you pay for - take it as you will)
a lot cheaper huh??

the warrior on the other hand is 700 .. and i think you can find a case for the aditional 100

\m/
hopefuly they are correct.. not like the DX destroyer fiasco they did a couple of years ago.

.
That's true, but some people find thin necks more comfortable to play. I find thin necks (like those on RG's) to be more comfortable for big stretches. Though I do like the thick neck of my PRS.
-
Cool, when are these 20th anniversary 550's coming out?
They best have a maple board or there will be trouble!
-
All the models you see on the Jemsite thread will be unveiled at Winter Namm next month and apparently you'll be able to buy them at the start of March.

imo, only the thompson sig is in the right price range.. but it has cheap hardware (ibanez pups and an edgeIII fixed bridge)

If Ibanez needs to do one thing, it's to bring back the Mk1 Destroyer. :evil:
And don't care about G!bs*n.

PLEASE GOD TELL ME IT'S NOT FOR REAL!!!!!
IF YOU SLIP OVER ON STAGE - YOU ARE GETTING A FREE RIDE IN AN AMBULANCE - BEST CHECK YOUR MEDICAL INSURANCE TOO!
Must be someone showing off in photoshop....looks fake to me!!

I'm with Feline on this...not THATS a guitar that coul kill...lieterally. :twisted:
-
I agree with Feline. The top spike looks a little bit 'wrong' somehow, like it has (albeit quite skillfully) been photoshopped on there.
Plus, it does look bloody dangerous. Look at that top spike again and tell me it isn't a lawsuit just waiting to happen! And, while we're at it, take a look at the pics of the dude from Necrophagist, and note the lack of an upper spike.
If I were feeling very suspicious, I'd be tempted to say that the guitar in the live pic could be a Jackson Warrior with an Ibanez neck.
-
It's only a promo picture, the guitar will look a lot different when you are with it in person.
-
Maybe it will. But I'd put money on it being bloody uncomfortable to play in any position! :)

it is for real... but it's a joke too .. looks like cr@p if you ask me.
the Mk1 destroyer is a lawsuit waiting to happen.. it was a direct ripoff of the gibby explorer. that's why they made the DestroyerII .. which is THE coolest explorer shaped guitar ever to grace the face of the earth.
the warrior however, is very comfortable to play though.. none more uncomfortable that an explorer type

+1. When I first saw it, I thought it was a Jackson warrior with an Ibby headstock photoshopped onto it! :lol:

I see the top spike in that picture. Maybe I'm crazy but I like the weapon look. Rawr.
But why the $%&# did they put a 69 on one of those fret boards?
EDIT: NM about the top spike, I thought a part of the stage behind the guitar was the spike.
-
The 69 inlay is actually the star sign for Cancer.

Oh. -10 points.

I Want that MTM2 Im goin to get one asap then shove some ceramic warpigs in it straight away :twisted: :twisted: :twisted: :twisted: :twisted:
that fixed bridge 7 looks cool too, pity about the colour :(
-
yea, the MTM looks real nice.. though i must say i liked it in red better. they should offer both colours. but it's good they got rid of the inlay.
i wonder if it will come tuned in E or dropB lol
-
Yeah i liked the red too but the inlays were a little too much for me. it'll probably come in drop b since it is a mick thompson signature. Just a pity this one isnt a through neck :( im definately going to get one tho once i get my new amp.
-
it isnt?
oh well, for that price, i'm sure they cant put a necktrhough together.. even in korea.. but one of those contoured set neck jobies would be kinda cool.
and yea, that inlay was pretty dumb for anythong other than mick or the truly die hard fan.. but even for the fan it was overkill. kinda like all those EVH replicas.. only ed can somehow get away with em :lol:

IBANEZ BRING BACK THE V!!!
I do quite like those Vs, more than all these other Ibanez models anyway. But why the stupid over-complicated bridges?
I can't understand why they don't just reissue the early-80s Rocket Roll, Destroyer etc. Maybe the current head of R&D hates them.

gibson lawsuit over the body shape
my 1982 rocket roll II has a similar bridge to that

That's exactly what I'm getting off my local dealer. It's bloody frustrating when guys in the US are pre-ordering them :x
I want to pre-order the RG550MXX in DY and RFR but no-one will take an order...

Bloody Gibson and their feckin' lawsuits. Why do they sue PRS and Ibanez but not ESP, Aria, Yamaha, Washburn, Tokai etc? (or maybe they already have?)
The bridge on your guitar's really just a big tune-o-matic though isn't it? Those new ones look like they have Allen bolts in front of the saddles and some sort of weird arrangement for adjusting the bridge angle.

yeah very true about the bridge theyve sued esp hence why there explorers became the cr@ppy EX
esp are soon to release the V series guitars again now that mustaine has left and gibson havent sued TOkai because theyre are a jap company originally but i can imagine they shall be sueing soon because of the recent move of there sales over to US
for example esp jap can still make exact gibson explorer and V copies and sell them IN japan but nowhere else

The inlays would look cool if they were on an ebony board.

Right on.
Their set necks are pretty bad usually though, they don't mount them right.
And do they have any ebony fretboards since the Jem 7vwh went to roseweed?
Roseweed only belongs on Les Pauls and to a lesser extent strats...
