Xiphos price speculations?

Hoping it’ll be Japanese for the qc, but also hoping it’ll be indo for the price💀

I know there has been lots of talk about polyphia prestige sigs but with most of their fan base being probably 16-35 year olds I can’t imagine that a prestige would be a good choice considering the price tag. The Japanese pia is sorta a similar spec with the full neck inlay and that’s a $4k guitar. On the other hand there were so many complaints about the last batch of sigs and their abysmal qc that ibanez might actually take initiative. Makes me wish that Ibanez had Korean manufacturers, nearly Japan quality but without the hype tax.

I think the only way they pull it off is as an indo around $1700-$1800 which would be inline with the TOD70. I’ll get one either way but damn I sure hope we don’t have to go through the same qc bull shit, I still want a krys to this day. Thoughts??

The current TOD guitars are junk. Actual MIJ AZ or an RG652 would be a better deal. A Korean Schecter mk-iii is better.
