Musikmesse 2010: Ibanez Limited Edition guitars in pictures
Possibly the most colourful axe stand at Frankfurt
Ibanez Limited Editon
The Ibanez stand at this year's Musikmesse was awash with colour thanks in part to its Limited Edition guitars. One half inspired by cartoons and superheroes (dinosaur claw-marks, heart-eating skulls and blindingly-bright yellow hardware) - the other celebrating musical milestones in history (think piano graphics, African engravings and a vinyl record for a pickguard!).
Not to mention the pointiest doubleneck we've ever seen.
First up: The Flying Hornet Axe?
"Turn on the light"
And turn it brighter...
"Menacing sharkman"
"Heart snatcher"
"The law of the Jurassic period"
"Milestones of musical history"
"Ethno-DNA"
Xiphos doubleneck!
