[T_money419]

The list price is 1199$ in the US

Fuckin awesome! How'd you find that out?

I played the red one at NAMM and it was NICE!.. ditto.. I like the box.. I too am lazy!

Prestiege ibanez = japan Zr tremolo's are good quality and very useful too.

Up until this Namm.. ALL Prestige S series is/has been made in Korea.. the difference this year is that the Egen (Herman Li model) and the new 24 fret S series will be made in Japan. The ZR trem is made/maufactured/designed by Tama (another part of Hoshino, parent company of Ibanez).

Couldn't somebody just ask him?

Anyone know when this thing's coming out?

Same here. I don't care if a guitar has binding or not. Though, like RobRR said, it does seem kind of pointless when you can't really see it.

I agree. The non-limited RR24 with yellow bevels and black binding is still a nice guitar and the sharkfins are the RIGHT way up. You can't have everything though. The RR5 is similar in price and that doesn't have neck/headstock binding. You're still only paying £100 more than you would for an SL3. The reason you get black binding is to entice you to go for a (much more expensive-) USA Select or Custom Shop.

I also don't understand why it's got a battery box? Are people so lazy to get a screwdriver once a year or so to open the cavity to change a battery?!? LOL

I have to disagree on this one. I change my batteries quite often being as I play my battery equipped guitars a LOT. There's nothing more irritating than having to place a guitar upside down, then risk fret wear because I'm applying pressure as I use a screwdriver to get the panel off, say, a DX10DFS. If holding a guitar sideways, there's the risk of slipping and gouging the paint or losing screws. Just sayin'.

So..anyone got a date on when these actually start to ship?

coolness.. thanks..TRYING really hard not to pickup another PC1 and wait for these to hit stores. I NEED a V!

So since they use the RR24 blanks (we assume) for these, couldn't they use the bond blanks with white binding for the KV5 and the RR5FR? I know the inlays are different, but are those on the blanks or added after cutting the body?
