Separated at birth... Episode III

Do you remember Jackson's Warrior model? Yes, it's the one which ignited a character clash of sorts with Ibanez's Xiphos. But we learnt that both guitars was inspired by a certain BC Rich model. But Jackson's discontinued Demon (pic above)...

...& Ibanez's 540P (also discontinued) looked very similar, yes? So maybe the Xiphos episode wasn't the first design bout between the manufacturers.

Wish it was back (Part 8): The unconventional attraction

What if there was an Ibanez design which bordered on the unorthodox but still remained attractive? The 540PII was such a guitar, one Alex Skolnik had a close association with it some time ago. I wish Ibanez would bring such designs back not to relive the nostalgia, mind you. But I think the time is right to have such a resurrection. Ibanez has the X-series to offer us the less conforming designs in their catalogue, the Xiphos is one among others, so why not the 540PII?

It's even offered in a H-S option. Darn...
