Anyone Knows Something About New Products On Winter NAMM 2008?

[JohnnyGuitar]

I'm really curious...

[rivera213]

New products in general, or new Seymour Duncan products?

SD products and new products in general...

new ibanez guitars are going to be hard to beat.

- new artist prestige guitar. made in japan. beautiful cherry sunburst finish over flamed maple

- new s series prestige guitars. made in japan. 24 frets! ad has some sort of cherry sunburst over what looks to be a poplar top (looks like fire)

- new sv series prestige. like a mix between s classic and s series. made in japan. 24 frets. comes standard with locking tuners. transparent blue over flamed maple top.

dont have links for the others yet but i see myself getting 3 new guitars this year...

[JohnnyGuitar]

The Ibanez in the link looks really hot... I don't get along too well with their products (and considering selling my own Blazer) but it still looks good...


I'm actually pretty curious about what SD is up to...

[KeeperOS]

A 24-fretted S? This could really screw things up for my planning (hopefully for the best though... Could 2008 be Ibanez year for me...?)

Heard about a B.C. Rich Gunslinger reissue.

It's something that they did special for this guitar. the tops are made from a submerged maple that was in a mud bog.

The details are HERE

I'm sure it's out of my price range, but a man can dream.

Should have been a yellow guitar if they were going for the Kill Bill theme. What is up with the weird inlay on the 12th fret?

Rosewood fingerboard EJ strats?

The ESP Jon Donais sig is 99% the same as his Washburn sig which begs the question why change guitar companies? Em.............................

$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$ $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$

I also love how after using Washburn for ages, he turned round and said ESP were the world's best metal guitars. I thought that was very classy insulting the company who supported him for years & who's guitars were good enough for him to use for years when he could've played anything he wanted.

He hasn't turned into Allan Holdsworth overnight & was at his peak on the "Art of Balance" album so if anything he's gotten worse as a player.

You'll notice the Jeff Hanneman sigs have new "H" inlays. They should've has an ESP Jeff Hanneman guitar with the "DC" finish on the guitar.

I dunno how on earth Michael Padget from that uber-suck band Bullet for my Valentine got a sig. I didn't think they were that big in america but obviously so.

Seems like they are doing their own take on some of the Parker features.

Ja, on their site they give credit to Parker for the fretboard.

[GuitarSandwich]

Anybody lay hands on this stuff?
