The following Ibanez instruments are available in the Japanese market. There are no indications these are the 2011 servings but the fresh features in them simply hinted 'new'.
SR4500E: This is a stunning Prestige SR bass, elite features all round & more tone controls at the helm.
AFS77T: There's the new transparent pickguard seen here again, not to mention the fresh ACH pickups & that new cross block headstock motif in place of the traditional lightning bolt for the Artcore series. Unlike the Edge whammy bridges, the ART birdge are a little wanting in terms of effectiveness. Black binding on a white body- cool, this one...
ASR76T: A racing stripe AS body; how about that?
RG8527Z: The J-Custom range gets a 7-string addition. Of course, the chances of this making it here is very remote.
Unofficial
Word has it, Ibanez has introduced a fresh tier of instrument. We have the standard models & the Prestige offerings in the catalogues but come 2011, there will be the Premium series; models which sit in between the aforementioned tiers. I'll update them here as the soon as the confirmation comes in.
