Falch 7

Well, the Ibanez Falchion will see a further manifestation soon as depicted above (it's currently in proto mode). The guitar sports 1 more string than it's current offering, possibly a pair of non-in house pickups & a more dependable bridge- looks like an EZ in there, yes?

Really hope the pickups are EMGs/ Duncans because if they are Ibanez's LZ pickups & we have the intention to swap them out, fitting issues await.

What the Falch...?

The Ibanez Falchion is one of the newest member of the X-series but the manufacturer decided to have an Edge III bridge in there when the other standard series models now sport an Edge Zero II model. No disrespect to the Edge III unit but to many of us, Ibanez just second-rated their new product by doing so. The Falchion could have just sport the non-whammy bridge like the Halberd & Glaive.

Ibanez X (Musikmesse 2011) slight return...

Fresh from Musikmesse 2011, the trio of new X-series. From top tpo bottom: Halberd/ Falchion/ Glaive. All models sport a pair of active LZ humbuckers.
