Fashion trends influence a lot on guitar models. Every year we may find lots of new models of guitars which have got new sound characteristics and fashionable design. Generally, guitars haven't got any characteristics that underline the region where they were created, but not all of them. The spring 2008 collection of Ibanez guitars doesn't consider the norms of a usual style and brings in a specific ethnic zest.

Any guitar producer has got its own customs and most of them prefer developing models that are similar to their classic forms and features. For example, Epiphone, Gibson and Fender do the same, but not Ibanez guitars. When choosing a guitar of course you will look at its sound features, but another very considerable thing is appearance of your future instrument.

Ibanez Spring 2008 Special Limited Edition series says that Ibanez is genuine Japanese trademark. Keeping to the trademark's sound traditions, the new RG and SRX models are also the victory of beauty. With their “Japan black” finish and red binding, special sakura blossom glyptic and gold hardware, they are refreshingly stylish and really Japanese. This model may boast off its sakura glyptic prompts which make the process of playing very pleasing and involving for musician.

The first thought that is generated in your head when you look at new RGR is “That is made in Japan”. That model comprises plain design and fabulous sound that make it really powerful weapon on stage. That guitar may be compared just with a ninja who is clothed in black but his white neck is observed. Looking at this guitar you won't find any unnecessary part. This model is worthy of being the most popular in case we speak about the Ibanez spring collection. The black and white color gamma of the two guitars mentioned above is much manifold by the color boom of other series, particularly the many-colored GRG micro models; the motley BTB and neatly tested ICB. The modern Ibanez spring collection are also made to amaze you - their fantastic-colored vibrant finishes are a perfect match for a freaky-dressed young and bold guitar-player. Wonderful cranium theme makes Talman Acoustic series to be a guitar for genuine fans of rock. There is also hard-rock-style Ibanez logo. Another part of its design proves the Japanese origins of this instrument. There is a sun around the rosette that is exposed in the best customs of the Land of the Rising Sun.

There is a unique guitar in spring 2008 collection named Pat Metheny's PM-35. That wonderful guitarist has been with Ibanez for more than 20 years. The idea was to make the first class electric guitars available for younger players and it has been realized in that model with the highest quality standards and an intermediate price level. The famous guitar player said that it is a great honor to introduce the guitar that is designed by Ibanez trademark.
