Now Ibanez reissues the 770dx...

Dr. Von Goosewing · 05-13-2008, 12:06 PM

Shame it's a disgusting price

http://www.andertons.co.uk/acatalog/info_RG770DXRR.html

I can understand Ibanez want to $ in on the popularity of reissues but I think this is way too high of an asking price! But I do really want a blue 770... guess i'll have to keep prowling ebay. It's a bit odd that there's nothing on the Ibanez site either

(I saw this on jemsite - hope it's not old news: RG770DX Reissued in UK - Jemsite)

Are you willing to stump up £1100 though? I mean, I really want one too (I'm seriously thinking about it) but it's not a lot of guitar for the money.

thedonutman · 05-13-2008, 12:15 PM

I'd rather buy a real one, but I guess this one has the neck reinforcements, and has better fretwork.

What's not real about the reissue? It seems to be the same spec.

Zak1233 · 05-13-2008, 12:23 PM

that is a bit pricey for that tbh :/ but the fact that theres only 25 in the uk is probs why lol but omg i want one of them

engl or that... lols dilema

maliciousteve · 05-13-2008, 12:44 PM

I've made my feelings felt about this on jemsite. It's disgusting how they can charge for some thing like that. It's just an RG in a different colour with coloured inlays. Nothing special or innovating. They should be priced the same as the RG20th's at least, they were a bit more reasonable.

atimoc · 05-13-2008, 12:49 PM

Cool guitar, but not 1400€ cool. I haven't been following the 770 prices, but that kind of money can get you like three or four 550s with upgraded pickups.

InTheRavensName · 05-13-2008, 12:59 PM

There's a used 770 on ebay right now for £350 I think

for that price I could buy 3 of what I just bought (OMG incoming picstory) AND still have cash left for some BKPs

(...and I'd warrant be happier-Jesus, £1100 would buy me the Caparison on ebay now :|)

stuz719 · 05-13-2008, 01:27 PM

£1100?!?!

Shurely shome mishtake?

Sadly not.

turmoil · 05-13-2008, 01:38 PM

wow, those look super cool but for that price, i think not.

GH0STrider · 05-13-2008, 02:27 PM

Are those available in the states? Meh- those colored inlays look gay. I'll stick with my quest for a decent 550.

Vegetta · 05-13-2008, 05:15 PM

once again Ibanez = epic fail

Lucky Seven · 05-13-2008, 05:17 PM

That's a terrible price...

Ryan · 05-13-2008, 07:44 PM

Mmmmm daddy want! I wonder what it'll cost in the usa..

Kotex · 05-13-2008, 08:11 PM

Those are nice, but the price ....ing sucks.
The red one is smexy as hell.

Michael · 05-13-2008, 08:49 PM

I want one.

Shawn · 05-13-2008, 09:44 PM

I've always liked the 770DX's, especially the blue ones.

Awesome!

FortePenance · 05-13-2008, 11:48 PM

I suppose the price makes sense since it's a collector's item with only 100 pieces available... but still, you'd be barmy to buy something like that asides from collector's value IMO.

They should reissue the RGR565s!

ibznorange · 05-14-2008, 12:09 AM

a grand for a new reissue, whats a new 1570 cost? 750? i could see that. the price isnt that insane compared to what ibanez is generally asking, although its much too high imo. its hardly "insane" though

Stitch · 05-14-2008, 12:18 AM

They've rereleased the Edge!

ibznorange · 05-14-2008, 12:48 AM

ok that part is ridiculously awesome ill agree

Stitch · 05-14-2008, 12:50 AM

I'm surprised it took you that long to notice.
