I am contemplating on getting one. Please feel free to post.

 

[subversion]

this guitar is currently in a legal pursuit. chances of it making it here is remote, considering production has been currently halted.

 

[dric]

sub whered you learn about that? is there an article somewhere, post a link?

i think Shredcow mentioned he saw the news in jemsite.

yah, sad, i was looking forward to this sweet axe's arrival too...

 

[neuro182]

hmm.. i was looking forward to it.. gosh..

 

[subversion]

you'd note that it's removed from the Ibanez homepage...

 

[neuro182]

yups.. i had to google for it on zzSound man..

sad..

 

[I_M_Ken]

well, nothing beats the original Jackson King V man

 

[neuro182]

:lol: remember to keep me posted.

 

[Jiterator]

wait a minute.. but i remember seeing this one at swee lee sims drive just a couple of weeks ago...

 

[RazrAsh]

Jiterator: You sure? news is that it hasn't reached out shores yet. and on jemsite, anything pertaining to it has been removed.

 

[subversion]

if you see it here, it means shipment was made before the legal matters took effect.

 

[Jiterator]

yeah i definitely saw it at swee lee sims drive some weeks ago.. was at the side with all the new ibanez 2007 models

 

[neuro182]

even so, i think they would have been removed from the shelves since its under lawsuit now..

tiao~

 

[subversion]

it doesn't work that way. they can still be sold because the matter doesn't concern sale prohibition (as far as i know), it concerns production. ibanez can sell whatever remainder they possess...

 

[Shekoski]

I saw a store in Manila that has one in white. Wonder how it got there? :?

 

[subversion]

simple: it got shipped before the legal engagements took place...

 

[neuro182]

oic.. now that is awesome.. cuz i want it!! haha..

 

[subversion]

hmm... would Fender do likewise to the Xiphos?

 

[I_M_Ken]

they probably will once they've won the case over the V's
anyway, ibanez sux for being unoriginal.....sigh...they should just stick to their super strats designs RG.
