    It's really nice incarnation of the original. I had the original from 08. I love how they went direct mount forbthe pups and the murdered put look. I'm definitely will be buying this version.

    Just bought one because I use to play a Jackson Warrior back in the day (and now the WR1's are 4 grand). The X shaped guitars are super comfortable to play. Just have to wait a few months for it to get here.

    I really enjoy Nick Hill's Helix videos! Is Nick an employee there? Also, I have the 7-string version ordered
    and I have a BLACK (SwitchCraft) pickup selector to install...along with DiMarzio Illuminators! I can't wrap
    my head around why Ibanez put a silver switch on it.

      @@CreamCityMusic well, it has to be heavy, this is High Gain! The AZ whether it's the Prestige or Essential is a tribute to the vintage beauty of guitars, so maybe a subtle nod to that as well. But, I want to see what these bad boys can do! You could do a Tone Check for the SSS and a High Gain for the HSS. I've been dying for one of them, just can't right now. Can't decide if I like the HSS or SSS best!

      @@CreamCityMusic Ibanez is my dad and I favorite guitars. I love Fenders, but Ibanez will always be ours. We just had his 1 year memorial. He was a musician for 60 years. Amazing musician, amazing man. Loved Ibanez. I have his Ibanez artcore, his Ibanez Classical acoustic electric and his prized Ibanez 5 string bass. He used them religiously. He loved Vintage fenders, but he loved Ibanez. He would of went crazy over these. My guess, he would of wanted the HSS, he was a Jazz, blues, rock Guy. Loved the HSS setup. Next time I can afford, I'll be eyeing these bad boys. Haven't had a new Ibanez in so long. Love this channel. To much Fender/Squier Gibson/Epiphone saturation, I get tired of it. One thing I can safely say, Ibanez is one company who has never slacked on quality control.
