Signature series are the highlight this Summer NAMM for Ibanez & this here is the JBM9999. It's in standard scale length despite the 27 frets there, ebony fretboard & Jake Bowen's own signature pickups. The Gibraltar Elite bridge there has a strong hint of Hipshot but as it is with Ibanez, this is perhaps the manufacturer's interpretation of the said bridge.
If a blue guitar with 27 frets is a familiar concept to you, perhaps you're aware that Kiko used to have an ESP version. It even sports a similar rail type single coil-sized humbucker. Ironically, Kiko is now with Ibanez & had moved away from this guitar design.
