Awesome guitar.

Hopefully at this price point, Ibby is using some really good basswood.

Wow! Hey Rob are you going to get that RGA 7 Prestige? Chris Broderick look a like guitar.

awesomeaustin · 03-02-2010, 07:34 PM

Nice score man, that is sexy as hell. I want one real bad

MaKo´s Tethan · 03-02-2010, 07:43 PM

damn you!!!!!!!!!!
well, who one else would buy this beauty first?? thank you Rob for the pics. and, the black finish don`t look booring like I though. awesome.

Lankles · 03-02-2010, 08:56 PM

The only reason I won't get one is because I know it will cost at least 2500AUD. Oh well. I need a Fireball 100 anyway.

zimbloth · 03-02-2010, 09:07 PM

Looks really cool. If I could tolerate rosewood and basswood I'd be all over that, very cool shape and nice neck profile.

rob_l · 03-02-2010, 10:33 PM

Doing a pup swap tomorrow and I have a question for you guys ::

I have a DActivator set coming, but when I was thinking about it today - I think Grey bobbins would look WAY better on this black than white would.

Problem : Dimarzio doesnt make grey bobbins for the public - But I have an Apex 2 and I could just slap either the DActivators or the V7-7/V8-7 into the Apex and VOILA - My favorite pup, in grey making for IMO a VERY, VERY kick ass look!!

So what do you guys think - White DActivators or Grey PAF Pros..... ?

GO!

Mattmc74 · 03-02-2010, 10:34 PM

Congrats!

MaxOfMetal · 03-02-2010, 10:35 PM

How about some bright green D-Activators?

Malacoda · 03-02-2010, 10:36 PM

Next 7 right here. If I have the money

GO!

... well, D-Activators seem to work better in mahogany and since that RGD is standard tuned to A, then maybe the lower output of the PAF's would work better with the extended scale? personally, I like my bridge pups with punch... I installed a C-bomb7 on my XL [for a day] and was

either way, i'd say go for it... apex2 w/ white pups AND RGD2127 w/ grey pups? lord of the rings epic

JeffFromMtl · 03-02-2010, 11:36 PM

I second the PAF motion. Not only would they look better on the guitar, but I love those grinding lower-output pup tones

But then again, I've never tried D-Activators, so I couldn't really compare the two.

zindrome · 03-02-2010, 11:40 PM

Sick!!!
oh the GAS..
I want one really bad now

I hate when ppl say that a 7-string is "tuned in D" or tuned in "drop D" when they mean A-standard (because that's what it's called). And when I tell them it's actually "A-standard for a 7" they look at me like this

and say "no no no.. you say "tuned in D" not "A-standard". So annoying, it's because they come from the 6 stringed world and they can't understand the 7th dimension.

Damn nice score

Nice of Ibanez to use the 6 string tuning sticker on the 7s too

Yeah that rosewood looks kind of average

STILL, It must play great.

Ibanez need to step up to the plate and start offering better pickups on these 1527/2127 guitars.

possumkiller · 03-03-2010, 07:21 AM

Grey PAFs for the win man! Then lets see some pics! Id like to see what it looks like with some clear cover/black wire Q Tuners in it.

Are you by chance 16? (kidding, you were obviously born in 1986)

I say D# standard with a low A#...

Who cares what people say?

I'm honestly okay with it at this point... I mean, I know for the most part I'm going to replace them myself anyways, so I've come to terms with it. If they put decent pups in there, the price would probably jump a few hundred.

congrats on the guitar btw, it's seriously one of the best looking body shapes Ibanez releases.

People around here are shocked to even see that I have an extra string.

"Teh 7 skrangs? Wut is dat?!

"

But I thought the ad being referred to was the picture of Buz's S7 underneath the gigantic tag which is obviously the thing I should've initially looked at.

EDIT: 1,800th post.

That sticker is CLASSIC!

But that guitar is truely elegant in that colour. Off course that guitar does not help with preventing GAS. Shopping trip in the future for sure.

I know there are a lot of rabid followers of the BKPs, Lundgrens and Q-Tuners - I've just had a "meh - theyre ok" response to the first two and the Q-Tuners just look like some toroidal transformer or other '50s tech, from hell. I just cant bring my self to try 'em. Again, no offense to the rabid followers

I's just think I'm a slave to the D, Larry and Steve - I'm just, and always have been, a DiMarzio guy....

But yeah man, I compared 'em in photoshop and eeet lukes guuuud mang!!! - Tech coming tomorrow to drop em in

Played this a LOT last night - It's AMAZING. Perfect balance. Sharp attack, no springs vibrating in the body because of the Zero Point system (which is coming out tomorrow so's I kin fluttah!!!) Overall, factory pup swap included, is still less $ compared to Apex and UV.... IMO - This and the RGA 7 that just showed up put Ibby over the top this year. lol

And, something to note - The Prestige 2127 doesnt have the "pop top lid" truss rod cover. I figured it was because it was a 7 - But when my RGA7 got here a few minutes ago does have the cool slide open truss cover - Big deal, just obseration..... Ibby is doing a really good job this year

And no kidding Ibby is kickin ass this year...
