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.
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??

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