Ibanez 2006- what you'd like to see here...

[subversion]

greetings friends 8)

yes, i'm at it again; trying to rally some support to advocate to certain authorities about which models to feature here. listed below are a few suggested models, if there are others you wish to see, state them here. thanks! (hoping to see constructive suggestions)

PS: will only advocate for models with a significant number of votes- how significant is significant? will consider the responses first...

MTM1- Mick Thompson model

SZ4020 (neck through construction)

SAS36 (set neck cousin of the popular SA260)

AS103

AWD83

ARC models (featured here- ARC 100)- finally, an affordable singlecut Ibanez

ARX models (featured here- ARX100)

RGT42DXFX- the fixed bridge version of the superb RGT42DX

any Giger-designed models (featured here RGTHRG1)

Ibanez Valbee (5W valve amp)- since the 2005 pricing of Laney's LC15 let me down, this is perhaps the next best alternative, a very affordable, valve powered amp, small enough to be volume-driven in a bed room setting. definitely interested- anyone with me?

SZ4020 phlease!

finally a high end model besides the usual RGs and such. with neck thru and string thru body, could be an alternative to other setnecks around that price.

 

[Ichiro]

There not alot of fixed bridge ibanez RG guitars to choose from in SG, so i think RGT42DXFX- the fixed bridge version of the superb RGT42DX will be good to be featured......

 

[jeremyrozario]

i've wanted the valbee for a very long time, and i even wanted to buy 1 from japan when i was there, yar so, i'd like for there to be a valbee

from what i last saw, there was 1 piece in the sims drive side last year before the sale

and if its possible that ibanez might, please bring back either rg 550 or 1550 with the maple fretboard

Since it's any giger models... Not too sure whether is it on full production.SHRG1Z.

it's like this with the Giger design models- it's a limited run, dealers actually solicit with ibanez about the qty they wish to possess but it's up to Ibanez to decide. the response thusfar have been great, prompting Ibanez/ Giger to offer 2 more models this 2006, the S-model depicted above + a bass. so if your country's distributor is an eager party, they'll secure these guitars, otherwise, we can only enjoy the sight of them online...

the Prestige SZ models- the set neck ones are superb, it leaves us wondering what the thru-body model has to offer in terms of tone. playability wise, it's gonna be similar.

look forward to pay MUCH more for this one...

Juz v. curious, currently, where in the world retails these Giger models?

bro- they won't bring these back anytime soon. although there's a great demand for maple fretboard Ibanez units, when these were in the market, the manufacturer deemed them very slow moving (in terms of sale), hence their elimination form the catalogues.

US/ some UK countries/ Japan & anywhere else with enthusiastic distributors

 

[Chronicles]

i might be getting rgt42 with string through body

it pretty confusing i tot the giger one is h-h configuration?

 

[whitebrokenriff]

hmmm why only ibanez?

 

[ShredCow]

You can start an ESP/Gibson/Fender thread whitebrokenriff.


For me, I want the Valbee, would love to test it out, if it rocks, i'm getting 1.

Next, I want that special Edition SA guitar, with maple fretboard.

 

[jony]

Any chance for the Ibanez Rg321mhm in the natural colour?

you'd love the sound from this tiny little monster, haha, nice and warm overdrive tones, not much to complain about, and its tube all the way, not just in the preamp

slim chance (American exclusive), but will try... the RG321 is one of Ibanez's best sellers (the SZ model is the other), IMO it makes sense to have variety since it sells anyway, yes?

 

[thor666]

AWD82TRD/AWD83TRD or FWD60 for me.

I prefer a trem bridge if possible - subtle pitch changes is nice once in a while.

 

[mero]

My vote goes to the SZ4020 and the SAS36 :lol:

 

[MrE]

I'm all for the RGT42DXFX

(even though i've got my RG321 already!)
