As per 2021, Ibanez chose to update their new stuff on the first day of the new year, prompted by the absence of NAMM. Looks like they are releasing / announcing stuff in phases. The Andy Timmons AZ model gets the Premium version this year but it's a full humbucker in the bridge position (DiMarzio AT-1). The bridge is also the more affordable WV6-SB. The coil split switch only affects the bridge humbucker, which could have been addressed by a traditional 5-way switch but they wanna make it different for this guitar.
Why is there a new JEM Jr when Steve Vai is moving in the PIA direction? No DiMarzio pickups (expected at this price range) & an in-house Ibanez dual action whammy bridge. There are other worthy Ibanez models to consider, really.
