I anticipated a complete removal of the Ibanez SA Series this 2018 but on the contrary, the series underwent a re-vamp this year.
Firstly, all models now feature a non-angled headstock (seen here: SA260 & SA560). Secondly, the Premium models are no more, the highest in the series is this blue version here featuring high end specs, namely binding & DiMarzio (Blue Purple Silver Teal Black Velvet in all positions) pickups. Thirdly, bridges are now the T102, 2-point model. Lastly, the lower tier version no longer feature a pine fretboard but jatoba instead.

The SA560 has Black Velvet PU's (not Blue Velvet) ;) Nice guitar!

Two point always better than the other. Thumbs up Ibanez.
@Yus I respect Ibanez for making genuine efforts in breaking away from affiliated designs. The former SAT bridges in the SAs had some dues going into Wilkinson. But at the end of it all, I will always embrace stuff that works regardless of who made them :-)
