Some time ago, while I was in one of the guitar stores here, I overheard the frustration of one Ibanez fan who was wishing for a matching headstock-body finish for the RG3550 as seen above. Everything was so right for him less the black headstock.
The RG3250 in Japan sports a matching body-headstock finish. It's rather unfortunate that such a desirable model is available elsewhere but here. Ibanez should offer a limited availability for its regional exclusive models instead of having none at all in foreign markets. The body-headstock finish should also be matching for more models as this proves to be more desirable for many of us; we want more uniformity in our instruments' finish. This is why we subconsciously embrace black guitars- because the black headstock matches the body.

I think that this could be a 2011 model, judging from this site. http://ibanez-news.blogspot.com/
It's quite funny, because even the lower-end RG350M has a matching color headstock. As seen here,

if it's new for 2011, then it's a sad addition should it be available here- it's already available elsewhere in 2010...
