45th

The real reason being at Swee Lee (Star Vista) a couple of days ago was to purchase the 45th Anniversary TS808. There's nothing new on offer, just another Tube Screamer in a commemorative glitter finish. A totally unnecessary purchase but being a TS geek, this one was a nice addition to the collection.

Ibanez 2024

So Ibanez officially updated their 2024 listings today. Initial impressions - nothing extraordinary save for a few note-worthy debut models. I won't be the killjoy of this wonderful occasion but there are no new additions to the following series of guitars: J-Custom / SA / RGD / RGA / Q. Knowing Ibanez, they saved some good stuff for Summer enticements which happened in 2023. Anyway, the blue sparkle TS808 you see above is new this year & it's a commemorative 45th Anniversary model which we all need, yes?
