Not many folks realize this, but Ibanez has been around longer than Fender, EB/MM and PRS combined. Ibanez has some major history, almost 100 years worth.
After more than 10 years of research, picture gathering, and transcribing anecdotes, the first book about Ibanez- from Ibanez- is now available!
You can pick up your copy here:

(Don't bother checking Amazon or Barnes & Noble; it's only available through Ibanez)
These books debuted at the most recent NAMM show, and are now being made available to the public. $39.95 for a sweet, all-glossy, TONS OF PICS, coffee table book. This is the one Ibanez fans have been waiting for.
Why am I posting about it? Well, since Jemfest is mentioned in the book, the authors will be getting us an autographed copy to raffle off at Jemfest 2005 in Orlando. That's right- all three guys are gonna sign it! How cool is that?
Feel free to post your thoughts on the book once you've read it.
Oh yeah, and if you guys find typos in the book, please post them here. I'll get them sent to Ibanez so they can make the necessary corrections. They already know about "Neutrik". LOL
P.S.- For those wondering, Yes- the EGYPT is in the book.
