For those who don't know Ibanez are doing an amazing range of awesome new guitars this year, featuring better parts and design concepts than before ? First off there's all the new additions to the RGA series which has now gone from being fixed bridge to arched top so you can now get edge equipped RG's that aren't flat ? yay. also there's a fixed bridge seven string available in that range now as well, using the much beloved giant sounding gibraltar bridge ?. these guitars seem to all have Ibanez's own designed active pickups and I don't know what those are like so no comments there though they look interesting ? Ibanez have also brought back the RG550 neck dimensions which were originally too thin to remain stable but are now reinforced with dual titanium truss rods ? so no more problems there. they also have a new neck called the ultra HP - seems to resemble a wide D apparently it's 18mm at the first and 20mm at the 12th ? There's a new range called the RGD series which are RGs with longer scale lengths for drop tuning (27") and deeper lower cutaways for high stretching, looks quite a bit sharper than a normal RG but still sexy as hell ? for those shredders who are into their D standard tuning ? though the pickups are custom V series and if they're anything like the old V's you'll wanna take em out straight away ? The high end prestiges are now all featuring the new neck with the titanium and dimarzio pickups again ? yay! though something still needs to be done about these bridges of theirs. speaking of which on the vai and satch signatures you can now get the original edge pro and unfortunately only the herman li signature has the Lo-Pro edge, though I may be wrong about that and honestly I hope I am. Andy Timmons also has a new signature model which is more strat like than ever before so finally us Ibanez players can stick with our brand and still get that awful plonk in recording that only a strat can get ? way to go andy ? PLUS and this one's my favourite ? there are now 2 RETAIL available 8-strings !!!!!!!! they're edge fixed bridges which makes me bleak cause I would love to have a functioning trem like the Meshuggah guys 8-strings and I don't like EMGs but it makes sense from a balance in volume across the whole range kinda perspective. But most importantly it's got 8 strings F*** YEAH!!!! Tosin Abasi of instrumental progressive metal band Animals As Leaders talking 8-strings ?

Ooof, that's nice tone.
I know what you mean! I want one now so bad. I'm used to 24-fretters and I LOVE the white-JSes, so this is probably 'it' for me. The JS guitar made just for me ? (Oh, and Joe)

Gulp, I just watched that video.. It's the "it" for me too Norio... That guitar has the nicest tone ever.. Probably due to the fact that Satch is playing through a tube marshal and he has well, his fingers.. but still, sounded awesome, I would love to say that is my next GAS project, but I realize that the price may be a little high.. If it's anything like http://more.take2.co.za/moreusa-ibanez-limited-edition-js20th-joe-satriani-20th-anniversary-signature-b001r2hwew.html I could buy a small car for that amount! ?

It shouldn't be a Marshall, I may be mistaken but in the video he should be using his Peavey JSX signature amplifier as I could imagine that appearing on a promotional video without it would be quite a breach of contract ?

That is what one would assume, but no sight of his JSX.. In fact the Marshal JVM is quite clearly pictured in the background and you can see that it's on.. So, one can only deduce he's using it!

Is that video of the RGD a parody, or are those seriously the only kind of riffs that guy can play? :'(
