Ibanez JTK 3 and 4

Yay!
That's the JTK 3: http://www.ibanez.co.jp/products/eg_pag ... ries_id=57
With 3 color option. (Turqoise is looks like green more than turqoise. I saw one but didn't have time to play it.)
Interesting pickups.

And the JTK 4: http://www.ibanez.co.jp/products/eg_pag ... ries_id=57
Just one color?

Nice bridge.

None of them have coil-tapping like JTK 2. That's a minus i guess.

I'm planning to buy one soon. They are not expensive guitars and out of standard i think. Is there anyone have an opinion for these guitars? Playing experiment? I couldn't find any useful information on web, i guess because of they are new.

i still think they could've come up with a better headstock.
but the green is nice.

tru, but on the plus side, its big enough you could re-shape it a bit,
and plus.
you could always make a straight cut, add wood and do something else, and then just paint it black again, no one would notice unless the looked at the run of the grain on the back.

guys this is the first new 24" short scale guitar to come out in a long time!!!! (i mean thats really worth a shit, im not counting stupid agile and shit)
although 43mm at the nut seems kinda bigger than what I'm used to

The neck markers are cool!

Put it has such a flat radius you could get your Cowbell on and dremel for squares, but then it would be more Teisco like than Ibanez.

I think that tort looks awful. It would look better with black pg, keeping with the simple theme of the guitar.

I normally favor 3 and 3 over 6 inline, but that headtsock looks wrong on that guitar.

for sure!

a pickguard color isn't a deal breaker for me anymore. not when i got the worlds best making me shit left and right

that can always be changed

I actually like the 6 in line headstock on these new JK's.

Although I really wish they'd bring back the roadstar/blazer cockstock.

The shape in matching headstock color, plus silver Ibanez logo would look amazing on all those guitars.

I hate Ibanez and I hate Jet Kings.

But that Omar guy's guitar is AWESOME.

Oh and what are these HFS pickups???

teh ibanez japan website wrote:The original constuction of HFS pickups uniquely cancel the hum, maintaining the single coil's strong highs and clarity.

i googled HFS pickup and only got info on Humbuckers for PRS

Kawaii! I love how they named the deep red "Red Bean".

That's my color of choice.
