How come there isn't anything on their website about the custom shop?? Just a section of their forum about it, but not really any info. How much you guys think it'd cost to get a custom RG 7 string?
Ibanez has always been lacking in the color department. That's nothing new. Their lack of maple fretboads, however, IS new and is pissing a lot of people off. It's one of the reasons why they decided to re-release the RG550 and name it the RG20th. However, that's only in limited quantities. Their big color at the moment is black or something close to it. Lame, yes.
Psh, they don't have any ebony boards either do they? Seems like every guitar has rosewood. cept the 550. Some look like ebony on the site but it still says rosewood, then again on the 550 it even says rosewood but its obviously maple.
There have been ebony boarded models. They're just more rare. The JEM used to come with it until a few years ago when they switched to rosewood. I'm not a fan of ebony, personally. I feel it gets too greasy.
As in to the collaboration of the chatting of fretboards, FUCK ROSEWOOD AND ITS HOMOSEXUALNESS!!! I can tolerate FINISHED (smooth) rosewood boards, but the unfinished (has like holes in it) IS GAY AS HELL. Damn you cheap ass guitars with your hole-filled rosewood boards! I am TOTAL Ebony all the way!!! I can't comment on maple though, never owned or even played a guitar with a maple board...
