For the record I think a lot of the American online Music stores (i.e. Sweawater) also has a wait time. This is why I posted above... Its not just Italy.
You know, I don't know why I didn't think of that but you're probably right. Smart idea given that this is a fresh lineup and concept for them!
I am cursed to be able to think like Ibanez but not have the $$$ to buy their stuff!

LOL do you want me to erupt into a fiery ball of gear-lust?!?!?!
That's the money shot...let me know anything you wanna hear in specific.. bare with my poor playing
Are the pickups on your Ibanez multi scale brigth or dark sounding?
You have to preface your recordings with:
1 - What model
2 - What color (My theory, the Seafoam Green plays faster! LOL)
3 - What are you playing through?
Definitely not the dark side to me
It would be easier if you can name any pickups that is dark to you

Lol do what makes you feel best... I'll be stapling my hands to the computer to resist... urges...
My experience with the Nordy big splits is that they're bright as can be. I still have factory strings on my ESP B1005MS and I definitely don't feel the need to change them - it sat in a shop for 2 years before I picked it up as my main player 2 years ago! Not sure if Ibanez or ESP have any customizations on their pickup sets though.
If I'm not mistaken, KUETSUM, to whom the question was asked, has the 1005ms so he has the Barts, not the Nordys, from what I understand they still sound really good.
You are right..1005ms is equipped with a set of bh2.. assumed they are not made in US
The darkest pickups I had was the set of Bart on lmy curbow long ago.. I can't recall what they were...

Stapler... wouldn't be such a bad idea if I hadn't already started setting aside cash for a shiny new Ibanez
I was recently told by Sweetwater that the expected ship date for the 1505MS is early April, and I was the first one to place a pre-order with them (for the tropical seafloor finish, at least).
The person who did this must have some big cojones.
