NEWS: Dave Navarro back with Ibanez?

Check out this footage of the reunited Jane's Addiction rocking the Echoplex in Los Angeles on Monday February 16. Notice anything different? Yep, Dave Navarro's using a white Ibanez RG with a humbucker and two single coils, black headstock, gold-plated hardware, PRS-style knobs and a PRS tremolo. This appears to be an Ibanez LA Custom Shop creation. So is Dave no longer with Paul Reed Smith?

Well Dave had 3 of them at Lollapalooza the other night (check the photos on his Twitter, www.Twitter.com/davenavarro6767 ) so I think it's permanent. He also has a Charvel in the same colours but with a Floyd Tose, and Jackson recently sent him a Rhoads V so maybe he's still making up his mind.

I think Dave is at the point where he can play whatever brand and any guitar maker will kiss his arse. This is how it is when you're a Class A Endorser, you get whatever you want made for you, and play whatever. But notice, PRS was used at every show for Summertime Rolls, he must still be under contract.

I think he just wanted to get back to similar tones on the Jane's stuff as he'd used when he'd recorded it...at the time he WAS an Ibanez endorser...
