[ekka]

Might be old news but i'm thinking of picking up an mbm1.
here we go - the new Jem :

Neck: 5pc JEM Prestige neck
NeckType: JEM Prestige
Body: Hand-made acrylic resin : 3D multi-color inside
Frets: 6105 frets
Fingerboard: Rosewood
Inlay: Pearl/ Abalone Vine
Bridge: Edge Pro bridge
NeckPU: DiMarzio Trans JEM neck pu
BridgePU: DiMarzio Trans JEM mid pu
MiddlePU: DiMarzio Trans JEM bridge pu
HWcolor: CH


and a new personal ibanez favorite : the MBM1

specs:
Neck: 5pc MBM Prestige neck
NeckType: MBM Prestige
Body: Mahogany body
Frets: Jumbo frets
Fingerboard: Bound Rosewood
Inlay: Off-set Dot
Bridge: Gibraltar Plus bridge
NeckPU: EMG 60 neck pu
MiddlePU: EMG 81 bridge pu
HWcolor: CK

I'm planning on making this a new addition to the RG550EX that I already have thoughts, complaints , rants, jackson promotions etc ?

As much as I hate Shadows Fall - I think ibanez came out with a good guitar.


so tell me just with the prestige neck and the EMG81/60 combination should it be reason enough to get the guitar or not?

where are all the other new Ibanez-modells???

the MBM1 looks good to me, any idea about the pricing?

that new JEM is not my thing, I dont really like see-trough guitars. ah well, I wouldnt buy any of those 2 anyways because of the number of strings thats on there lol

 

[Pђoenix]

the MBM1 looks sweet but the Jem is one of the most ugly guitars I've ever seen . I'm not fond of ibanez anyway

 

[greasemunkey]

you forgot teh eight. how could you! *slaps*

 

[Cynical]

Meh, the Ibanez take on the Explorer is rather ugly. If you're going to go Ibanez, and have money to spend (i.e., the axe retails for about $850), I'd reccomend one of these:

I seriously want to check out the 8 string. I'm thinkin that the neck is as wide as secondary road though.

I want to try the 2228, too! oh, and the new S7 of course!
