Ibanez JPN vs USA.........

TMM · 04-09-2008, 12:32 AM

So, I've really been wanting to own another Ibanez 7 recently, and I know this has likely been brought up more than twice, but, to quote a wise man, we (USA) "get F'ed in the A" by Ibanez with the selection of guitars they're willing to send to USA dealers.

I mean, seriously, compare this:

to this:

I'm not complaining about RG1527s, because they're great, but does this piss anyone else off? If nothing else, I take comfort in the fact that I don't see the XPT707 on the Japanese site.

You raise a good point. They still have the baritones out in the land of the rising sun. Btw replied to your PM.

If I remember, Ibanez Japan lets them pick and choose what models they want.

Reminds me of the BC Rich guitars sold in Japan. They get a few more options on select guitars and all of their guitars have the lil R instead of the script logo. R r betr!

Hoshino USA could get cool stuff too; they just don't want to import it. Which is why most of the time when you see me saying fuck Ibanez, I really mean fuck Hoshino USA!

+1 Hoshino USA can have anything Ibanez makes, they just suck.

I certainly would not call this particular guitar an "axe" more like a club. Noodles' KxK would run through an emo, spilling his insides for a quick death, this blunt mace would bludgeon the unfortunate effeminate soul, breaking bones, and causing internal bleeding to lead only to a slow, painful death
