Ibanez 2011: Possible additions

The following Ibanez instruments are available in the Japanese market. There are no indications these are the 2011 servings but the fresh features in them simply hinted 'new'.

SR4500E: This is a stunning Prestige SR bass, elite features all round & more tone controls at the helm.

AFS77T: There's the new transparent pickguard seen here again, not to mention the fresh ACH pickups & that new cross block headstock motif in place of the traditional lightning bolt for the Artcore series. Unlike the Edge whammy bridges, the ART birdge are a little wanting in terms of effectiveness. Black binding on a white body- cool, this one...

ASR76T: A racing stripe AS body; how about that?

RG8527Z: The J-Custom range gets a 7-string addition. Of course, the chances of this making it here is very remote.

Unofficial

Word has it, Ibanez has introduced a fresh tier of instrument. We have the standard models & the Prestige offerings in the catalogues but come 2011, there will be the Premium series; models which sit in between the aforementioned tiers. I'll update them here as the soon as the confirmation comes in.
