   Finally an Ibanez axe with rounded-edge horns off the cutaways that has no locking tremolo system. I don’t like locked systems, but all the Ibanez axes without it have the very sharp looking horns, which I don’t like. Mmmmmm…. I wants to try it…

   That trem looks intense. Wonder if palm muting would draw blood…

   The SA series already had a non-locking tremolo with the same basic body shape. But that SynchroniZR bridge looks delicioso

   In my opinion it looks a bit “old” as look. It seems a guitar of the 80’s. I know that we all love that period, but for a guitar launched today, as considering Steve Vai’s fashioned guitars, it is somehow old…

   I’ve been saving up and selling old mid-range guitars towards a Jem - but I’ve always liked my ancient, used, beat-up S-Classic I have (that’s now for sale) - I almost want to wait on the Jem until I can play this SV5470, but my teacher pointed out how there are no locks up at the nut in this picture, whereas an RG or a Jem always has those standard… tough call, I get one shot at having my “super nice, very expensive guitar”, and that’s it. Oh the choices…

   I hate locking trems so this is good. Give me locking tuners and a graphite or roller nut over a locking nut any day.

   Mikey here from Steve Vai’s official website. Just letting you know that the Ibanez SV Prestige is NOT a Steve Vai model. It just happens to have the same initials.

   Steve’s signature lines through Ibanez are the Jem 6-string, the Universe 7-string and the Euphoria acoustic.

   Peace,

    Anybody know if the SynchroniZR bridge/vibrato requires cutting the ball ends of strings like a Floyd Rose? I hear it’s switchable between fixed and floating vibrato.
