I think Ibanez should always make more than just black guitars, but only in addition to black. Just because some people don't want black doesn't mean that noone wants black. So complaining about the xiphos not coming in black is understandable.
But yeah, a solid color carved top would be cool, but some nice trans finishes would be nice as well. Quilt maple especially. Imagine the BCH quilt top from a hellraiser on an ibby, that would be pretty sweet IMO.
