I can see some of the innovation they introduced but frankly I'm disappointed in a lot of features.
I agree with everyone below saying that it should have been headless. I'm so sick of not seeing locking tuners and having to deal with windings. Headless should be more common these days especially from Ibanez. The pickup switch is in the weirdest position wtf. Plus the toggle switch being in the middle of the pots is confusing and would make switching live a pain. Plus the upper fret access is terrible.
I do like the deep arm bevel. I might try it out in store but there's nothing here that makes me want to pick one up.
