New 7-string Ibanez models for 2010! - Page 11

I definitely like the look of the guitar with such simple looking controls, but they should've done a concentric push/pull pot for vol/tone and bypass. I use the tone knob quit a bit, mostly for clean work though... but when I've got full gain, the tone is always at ten.

And adding two frets.

RGD looks great.
RGA looks cheap, bland, and EMG-y.

Good thing it's affordable and doesn't have EMGs then.

I need a lot of money, really fast. Especially if these are Matte Black, I love that color. The RGD's fret access looks amazing. And I love the switch placement. I need this guitar, NOW.

Time to whore yourself out again.

AngryGoldfish · 12-14-2009, 07:37 PM

Are any of them ERG's (apart from the 8'er)? The question may have been obviously answered already.

It's not know for sure, seeing as the scale length of the RGD7 is still in contention. Not to mention this isn't all the new stuff.

So there's more on the way?

I think it would make sense to have at least one ERG seven string. It would allow the entire market to be pretty much covered, surely?

If you mean extended scale, it would be nice, but they certainly wouldn't be the only company to offer only one scale choice for 7s.

Also, there will be more. How much so is up in the air, but NAMM isn't till next month.

I quite like the look of the RGD, but REALLY dislike the Edge Zero route. It doesn't follow the trem's shape at all, and there's really no excuse for it. The S Series has no such issue.

I'm not a fan of it either, the route or the ZPS. Though supposedly the cavity is bigger in the back to better accommodate the intonation tool. The reason the Sabers don't need it is the slight arch to the top gives, what Ibanez feels is, proper clearance.

They had to modify the route when they switched from EP to EZ so it's not simply "they were too lazy to change the route" issue.

One thing I dont get is everyone jumping on the 2127 being a 27' scale the 1527 isnt. Its just the Ibanez numbering system I for one am hoping its 25.5

+1

It's because the way Ibanez resizes all their stock pics to be roughly the same size. It messes with perspective.

I don't mind the waiting - money isn't exactly falling from my pockets at the moment - but my curiosity is certainly 'pouring'.

I think it's become more of a modern thing, though, that ERG's are demanded: More and more amplifiers are being designed with the ability to cope with a low F#; companies are creating production model fanned fret guitars; heavy metal and jazz are taking to it more and more, I imagine that would reflect onto the bigger companies who can clearly afford to both accommodate the general public and the more ERG loving folks.

I imagine...

Who's making a production fanned fret?

djpharoah · 12-14-2009, 08:24 PM

I'm so sad. When I heard RGA7 I was thinking this.

Prydogga · 12-14-2009, 08:30 PM

Well the prestige RGAs havn't been shown yet, theres still alot of new stuff that hasn't been revealed: JS24,New floral Jem, UV (Maybe), RGA7&6 Prestige etc.

That is IF there is a Prestige RGA7.... God I hope there is.

Shinto · 12-14-2009, 08:37 PM

I just hope the RGA7 Prestiges don't have EMGs.

Prydogga · 12-14-2009, 08:37 PM

Well the picture that we were all fapping over that had the RGAs and RGDs had a prestige RGA6 and 7, so Im very sure that it will be a production model.

I thought Rotor and Agile were in the process of making one each?

or something really similar... i guess we will have to wait... hopefully there will be a prestige RGA7... i mean it is 2010 start of a new era....

But i guess the JS24 will be something like a JS1000 just with 24 frets.

personally i like what i see... but... still emg like pickups and black and it looks like a gloss black finish
