This drop was a little lackluster for me to be honest.

No new Prestige RG models? :( 😢

Great overview Remy. Hope you have been well. Happy New Year from New Jersey USA

I am sure these guitars and basses sound great but in terms of pure looks, aesthetics and hardware choices this has to be the saddest Ibanez release in a long time. Clearly, they aren't listening to the fanbase. Great and detailed video. Thanks

Meranti is a wood often used for flooring. It is heavy, has a coarse grain, and is a bit like mahogany in appearance but a lot cheaper.

When I look at models from the previous 5-10 years, with beautiful maple tops (versions never available in Europe), my blood boils. People show them off on FB groups and are happy that they have such wonders. Especially RG.

RG470DX in TokyoMidnight for the win!!😍

Hi Remy! Happy new year, amigo 😜🙏 I love the classic Iceman, especially that gorgeous burst... But what's the difference from the 2024 models to the current ones that we see in the shops? Specs 'seem' the same, current ones are quite affordable and made in China, but perhaps there's something changed for 2024?

Damn. I was hopeful for more color options for the genesis line this year.

Thank you Remy!! Interested in the short scale EHBs and the S series ones. Hope they don't get sold immediately when they come here. 😂

Bring back RG's and Universes, neon colours, more Floyds. When the GIO's look cooler than the high end guitars, there's a problem.

the EHBs !!!!!!! finally a shortscale with nordstrands, I'm soo ready !!

Prestige models?

I love that s1070

The highlight seems to be the entry level stuff this year. But there surely will be some signature guitars being unveiled at NAMM

I only wish Ibanez could make a new EW/EWC acoustic exotic series; these old acoustic from ibanez looked so amazing, and i never had the chance to try one..... Sadly it's soo rare to find brands who make exotic acoustics at an affordable price....

why you skipped the fretless green one

Headless with tremolo?

I like the 5 string bass with the stainless fishmans. Not feeling the colors on the EHBs.

All I want is an ichika signature 7 string

having no money but yet watching this 🙃🙃

Great new models but I really hope to see a premium AZS and a reisue of the 540r coz thah gold JS cost way too much and a Saber Hss

Here for the iceman guitars

Many models should have been with matching headstocks especially that Iceman.

No new RG Prestige models ?? Used to really love Ibanez seems they going more the Premium route . Hmmm Jackson Guitars ??

Pricing is ridiculous high, nope for me!

wtf ? Where is the prestige?

I’m not super impressed with the aesthetics of the guitars. Wish there were more 7 strings.

What is Ibanez doing? The last couple of years have been so disappointing.

No Prestiges but also mostly boring finishes...a bit disappointed. I hope some better news at NAMM, hopefully with some new good looking Genesis, Prestiges and signatures...

No new left handed models? What a joke

No RG/S in toxic green/pink/yellow colors? Meh.

Pass maybe next year…

Seems like ibanez these past few years have kinda lost touch with their buyers. I know they have those buyers that love to tune way down and are to lazy to figure out how to set up a locking trem system and that's fine, Ibanez offers an extreme amount of guitars for that group already. For those that love Ibanez for what they were in the late 80's early 90's shred etc... Lacking big time which was the largest group of buyers. They're kinda turning away us long term buyers that have been loyal Ibanez players for years even decades. Especially in the under a grand market. They have this incredible "genesis" line and they never really tapped into it much. Had they released more colors and more models at a grand, I think that would be their most successful "line" of guitars. They now only offer like two colors of the Rg550 and most stores are still backordered, that should say something. Had they run with the 565, 570 and 570dx and offer more of those cool colors from back in the day, they'd still be selling like crazy. This is why I've quit buying Ibanez guitars.. My last was the Genesis 570 in Jewel Blue. Since I purchased Jacksons (which have more choices is tops and colors.. I prefer Ibanez but.. getting turned off by what they've been doing lately. I don't think everyone wants all their trannsparent stain ibanez to be over burl either. To me burl just looks cheap like a lot of "knotted" wood. Had they done that red Premium over a quilted top and matte or glossy..with an Edge or even Edge zero 2 trem, I'd shell out the asking price in a heartbeat..and become a believer in Ibanez again. But another year of a hard pass on Ibanez. Which is sad, cause I've been buying them all the time between 1989-2018. Haven't bought one since

Disappointing. Not even one single evertune too is crazy. Lost one of your biggest endorsees to ESP due to not having that option😅

Kinda lame. No jack Gardiner sig. No good finishes for the prestige az7. Horse pucky

Yawn, ibanez is losing it. I feel like they put all the time and effort into designing artist guitars that they're not gonna release (like tim henson 8 strings) and the stuff they put out is just new colors and body woods you've never heard of

nothing special... boring.. really..
