Sharp looking guitar there. Like the HB's combined with the string-through. Such a great combo on Fender Toronados...

Every now and then, Ibanez surprises me and turns my head...cough-Jet-King-cough. Not digging the headstock logo (speaking of the Jet King, that logo would've looked better), but the rest is cool.

Look great, but I don't like the headstock.

that was my second thought - "shoulda gone with the talman headstock". right after "damn, that looks a lot like a reverend".

Yeah, Talman headstock would look good. Or this one (with this logo!!)

And I'd strongly consider it. :cool:

absolutely. Swap for that headstock and I'd snag one for sure. Looks like a solidbody version of a Maton guitar.

Looks like an even uglier solid-body Fender Starcaster. :erm:

Man, I love the starcaster! I see so much hate for that thing and I really don't get it.

I like it, it's like a solid-body Starcaster without the sucky melted proportions.
And dick-shoe headstock twice the size of the body.

I like the headstock. Obvious nod to the old roadstars, which were amazing guitars and basses.

This looks pretty cool! I'm 50/50 about the headstock, it's ok but it might be cooler if it was a bit more fender-y and matching the body colour. I'd still rock it though, certainly no dealbreaker.
