Number indicators

You might know Oli Herbert- a very capable player- maybe you know his band; All That Remains. He has a super cool Ibanez Xiphos (custom).

I saw a close-up pic of his fretboard & those number-cum-inlay markers are rather fascinating. But I recall someone with a more outgoing markers & there wasn't any attempt at being discreet either...

... Jason Becker.

hope they release that custom xiphos. the current production models are great, but are stuck with non-prestige features like the wizard II and edge III...hmmm

a similar model is currently being put together for Necrophagist's Muhd Suicmez, doubt there would be a regular production version.

i find some of the ibanez models very appealing even without the Prestige attributes, the XP300 is one of them :-)

it looks like Becker's guitar's inlays were done on purpose to attract the attention, while the other guy's is kinda discreet lol. but who cares, they both are definitely capable enough to do what they like!
