First for 2016- Ibanez RGDIX7M. If the manufacturer's intent was to steal the show with visual attraction, this was a highly successful outcome. The instrument was made to manifest a very pleasant physique, even the lack of gloss overcoat did not bother the buyer much (at least true for yours truly, in fact, he prefers an organic satin finish any time). The tinted top there is a poplar cap which is absolutely negligible if you think it was going to contribute to any tone performances. The idea of masking the flat top with a different wood type isn't new; Carvin/ Kiesel was there, they've done that. From an up close perspective, this isn't a costly manufacturing procedure, the reason why this guitar is neither a Premium nor a Prestige offering.
Flip side look- an absolutely normal guitar. Ash grains, maple neck- a good colour combo for a 'pleasant' visual encounter. FYI, the RGD sports a longer scale length of 26.5" so it may not be everyone's cup of tea.

Simply gorgeous. I really dig that ash body (the back part).
that colour...
Thanks, Cikgu. I'm not a colour fan, anything goes for me. Gonna try pink soon.
@broijau- there is no other colour for this model...
Pink? A show-stopper, for sure
The show must go on :-)
Right on. I believe pink is going to make the grain pattern really pop.
