The Trinity Consort

Fashion trends influence significantly on guitar models. Both design and sound performances are have been changing through all history of guitar. Electric guitars are mostly general with no definite national color. Mostly, but not certainly. World-known company Ibanez introduced their new collection in spring 2008 and that one differs from any other a lot.

While Epiphone guitars play with shape in their Prophecy Collection and Fender guitars remain as classy as ever, Hoshino Gakki surely lays an emphasis on specific appearance in their new collection. When selecting an instrument of course you would look at its sound features, but another quite significant thing is design of your future guitar.

The Ibanez Spring 2008 Special Limited Edition evidently shows the Japanese roots of the trademark. Not just perfect sound characteristics are the advantage of some models as RG and SRX, but there is also an uncommon design. With their “Japan black” finish and red fastening, superb sakura blossom glyptic and gold hardware, they are refreshingly modish and really Japanese. The tender sakura carving prompts a subtle note of something impalpable which you can't grasp but can surely sense.

The first idea that appears in mind when you look at new RGR is “That is made in Japan”. This model comprises plain semblance and fabulous sound that make it truly dangerous weapon on stage. Its design can be compared with ninja that has got a white skin but dressed in black. Looking at this guitar you can't find any excess part. This guitar is worthy of being the most famous in case we speak about the Ibanez spring collection. But there are lots of other very charming guitars which are proposed by Ibanez such as ICB that is neatly examined, many-colored GRG and multicolored BTB. The new Ibanez spring collection are also made to knock your socks off - their fantastic-colored vibrant finishes are a perfect match for a fancy-clothed young and bold guitar-performer. Wonderful skull pattern makes Talman Acoustic series to be an instrument for real fans of rock. There is also hard-rock-style Ibanez logo. The other theme, a sun around the rosette with its rays expanding over the brown wooden top, gives you back again to the roots of the brand and reminds you of the Land of the Rising Sun.

There is a unique guitar in spring 2008 collection called Pat Metheny's PM-35. That virtuosic guitar player has been with Ibanez for more than 20 years. The idea was to make the high class musical instrument available for younger players and it got realized in this model with high quality traditions and an intermediate price level. “I am truly glad to have that guitar out there and affordable for anyone,” noticed the famous jazz composer.
