I don't see what's wrong with constructively criticizing something. Fact of the matter is, unless you get a custom guitar built for you, you will NEVER achieve what you consider a perfect guitar. My RG1527 has its share of things that I would improve upon if I had a choice. That doesn't make it a bad guitar, and apparently there weren't enough small negative things to keep me from buying one.

Just because we criticize, doesn't mean anything--it doesn't mean that we aren't interested or whatever. We're just pointing stuff out. And if this is indeed Korean/Indonesian and really cheap, I might just pick one up, in spite of the large fret markers. Just because I criticize small details like fret-markers, doesn't mean that I will not buy an Ibby 8-string on the basis of the large fret-markers not fitting in with my taste

Sheesh. I'm tired of people bitching about how we're bitching too much

No bitchin here. I hope they do actually release one. It woudl be about time. I figured they woudl beat people like me and ONI to the punch. Since they have bigger budgets, bigger factory, get better prices on parts , and have a huge dealer base already that would atleast buy one each.

Now if they do release in january they will be compeating atleast 6 other companies that I know of releasing 8 strings at the same time. Some of them are affordable and some are just stupidly priced.

That is just my opinion. They could have released this beast two years ago easily.

No matter what is released by ibanez, people are going to find something to bitch about. That's what it means to be an ibanez player. It's the same as being a Dream Theater fan. Always have to have something to bitch about.



People do need to start realizing, that a fucking 8 string is being introduced. I mean, boo-fucking-hoo that it's using bigger dot inlays. Jesus Christ.. You know what they could have done instead of using the big dot inlays?

Not make the guitar at all! You wouldn't be bitching about inlays then.

You people make me sick

What makes you say that Donnie?...
I know it's going to be a prestige, jeez, have I been wrong yet?

Exactly! See, that's something worth bitching about.

And no, they aren't making it lefty. None of the "talked about" new models for '07 are available left handed. 8 string, S7, rg20th, jem 20th, etc.
