Three things:
1. The 2017 guitar models with the stainless steel frets are a good sign that Ibanez will put these on regular Prestiges and Premiums as well. IMO stainless steel is a superior material for fret wire compared to the traditional nickel silver from a durability and playability standpoint.
2. I'm a bit worried about the new non-Edge III/Edge Zero II locking bridge (I think it's called Std DL or something) being put on the new standard line guitars with a Floyd-style bridge. While there are no reviews on it yet, I'm willing to bet that it's a downgrade from the Edge Zero II, and even the old Edge III that a lot of people hated. If anyone is thinking of getting a new standard Ibanez guitar, try to track down those with the EZII - these bridges' knife edges and locking(!) stud posts (the parts that balance the bridge on the body) are supposedly as good as the Japanese tremolos like the Original Edge and Lo Pro Edge.
3. I've suspected this for a while, but was only able to confirm after purchasing it: the new Ibanez intonation tool for Japanese Gotoh locking tremolos, the E-JACK 1000, can also be made to work on other bridges with angled fine tuners. On my Lo-TRS 7, the tool had to hold onto the fine tuners' threads, but intonation work was made quicker and easier nevertheless. I can't wait to try it on my Edge III- and Edge Pro-fitted guitars.
