I saw Mario playing this sweet Ibanez S Series so I had to share what model it was for any curious CHON fan.

It was quite tricky working out what it was purely from the video but at 1:30 into the video, a few hints here and there lead me to believe that it is an Ibanez RG652FX that has had a custom paintjob over it, mainly because of the pickups and the black finish prior to the custom paint job (designed by his guitar teacher in San Diego, Seth Hollander.) "...other than the paint job it's like an RG - Prestige" and he also quickly touches upon his pickups "...some DiMarzio's..."

He clearly plays "poop riff" with this Taylor Electric-Acoustic guitar.

Considering the fact that it is not an existing model, and due to its similarity to his signature MAR10, it is most likely an Ibanez L.A. Custom Shop AZ as a draft for the MAR10 itself. Due to its features (24 frets, HH with pickguard, Prestige for being hand made, AZ style body, MAR10's Lavender Mettalic Matte finish, standard dot inlays, and a body that looks like standard basswood or alder), its model number in production would be AZ2403-LMM. Used on Super CHON Bros 2 tour.
