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,
Mikey

anyone have any idea when these will become available?

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.

fools! why do you all use to cut ball ends of strings?!?! the best way to put strings on a floyd guitar i keeping the ball edge in the tuner!!!!!
aaaaaaah…..
anyway, i find this new Ibanez a wonderful guitar, i will sell my PGM300 and get one of these…

Great comment, I wonder why no one else thinks like that, ball end in tha tuner?! How cool… Why spend $4to5K for a 513 PRS, I do wish it were an all Mahogany guitar however, for a more darker sound. Wonder how it would sound with Super 58’s installed! Hmmmmmmmmmmm.
