I know its a personal preference thing

I tried a Schecter 007 a while ago and after listening to Stitch I thought my hand was going to explode on contact but I found it playable. Not as good as any of my RGs but still good.

the problem is that for the price ibanez probably will put on it, i'd rather get a RAN custom RGA.

Guys face it, the six string RGA321 was $1499, what makes you think a seven string version would be any cheaper?

Because it won't be prestige? I think it would be safe to say it would be a similar price to the XPT707.

I would want it to be a bolt on, personally. Ibanez AANJ is great already, the tone isn't as ice picky, and it cuts a bit of cost

Plus if it's a neck through, chances are it will be a painted neck

Trem?

So in conclusion, it has almost nothing I love about Ibanez

Also about the Loomis, I would describe the neck on mine as more of a D shape. It is very flat on the back.

I honestly don't think it will, but it wouldn't surprise me too much if it did. I mean, people were clamouring for Ibanez to release a new guitar in a non-black finish, something fresh and new please, like what you used to do, Mr. Ibanez...

They bring out the Xiphos and within a year have been so inundated with "why isn't there a black one?!" that ended up releasing one. I mean, come on. When black is their most popular colour, why not? People bitch about the 1527 being blue, they bitched about the MC and VK colours being 'faggy' - what does everyone want, AAA quilt tops or some sort of psychic paint that morphs to whatever colour you want?

As for the Microsoft statement, the S7320 did come out (not quite on time, but since no date was ever given an extra year isn't that bad, and for that wait we got the ZR-7), and the RG2228 did come out on time; indeed, the reason distribution was so appalling was because they didn't make enough, thinking everyone hated black extended range instruments. Evidently they were wrong.

Well i'm not buying it unless it's DY with 36 frets.

I want "Stitch <3" inlaid on every headstock, too.

...But then again, the edge trems are some of the only ones I actually like. So

In all seriousness, some form of black is the safest bet for Ibanez. Most other colors are so damned subjective that releasing just one will drop sales. My guess is since it's going to be an archtop, there will be some sort of figured top. You usually dont see too many solid colors on archtops (COW7). I'd plan for this to be a trans black, or some other dark neutral color, with a thin veneer. As far as hardware, sales are usually in the hardtails, so expect that as well.
