  8. Swirl Paint tutorial

    in Inlays and Finishing Chat

    Posted

    Eeegad. Call me crazy, but I've always thought that those swirl paint jobs were just plain nasty looking, no offense to Ibanez peepz, cuz the higher end Ibanyezz's play great, but was NEVER a fan of that swirlie stuff. Cool tutorial though. Looks like these guys would happily swirl anyones guitar for a quarter bag of weed. :D

    I think that is a little unfair to Darren Johansen and Herc Fede...

  18. NAMM

    in Site Feedback, Issue Reporting and Test area

    From Rich Harris at NAMM...

    Correction - ProEdge-I on Japanese models, ProEdge-II on non-Japanese models (replaces TRS)

    Ibanezrules NAMM sneak peak

    http://www.ibanezrules.com/namm/2003/index.htm

    From Rich Harris at NAMM...

    First, the best news -

    The TRS is DEAD!!!

    In no form does it survive, even Korean RG's down the the RG350 have the Pro Edge-II on it now!!

    The Korean models [among others, notably the RGT42] now sports the Pro Edge-II. Yes, even the Gilbert!!!

    All Jem/UV/JS are now sporting the Pro Edge-I.

    The quality 7 string returns with the RG1527 [basically a 7620], yes, with the Pro Edge 7

    The Mushok at first glance is the only barritone scale offered. 28", solid mahogony, mahogony/bubinga through neck. SC in looks but as thick as an RG. [made in Korea]

    Every S including the S1620 [replacing the 1520] is now equiped with the Zero Rocker. A unique design that incorporates parts of the Backstop system, a Zero Stop, etc. into the design. Break a string and it will remain in tune! More on that when I do the trems section.

    The only drawback I could see is the new Pro Edge system does not have the locking studs. The first thing I'll do when I get one inhand is to pull the trem and see how good the tollerances are between the stud and the anchor, as now they cannot be locked together ;/

    Lots of new models, lots of new finishes, all that to come just as soon as I can get everything done and published. Some things I'm forgetting I'm sure, just hold on and the pictures will tell the story
