I've noticed a lot of cats on the internet offering Ibanez bodies and necks, and I suggest Warmoth get in on the action. Now, I have absolutely no idea about licensing and the legalities of such an endeavour, so take my suggestion with a grain of salt.
Some things I've noticed that set Ibanez's apart...
1) All Access Neck Joint. IMO this is a brillant design, providing great comfort and increased access to the upper frets.
2) Their 'Sabre' and 'JS' body shapes. If you've ever played either, then you know they're some of the most comfy designs ever created. I can't imagine the complexity of programming these body shapes. I guess Warmoth could always start off with the RG body (simple) and work from there.
3) Neck Profile. Ibanez's thin, flat profile is a major selling point with most people who choose an Ibby.
4) 7 string models. I know, 99.9% of you think 7 strings are a fad, but there is still a large, albeit underground, community that is willing to get custom Ibby 7 parts for their own custom ideas. I should point out that their most successful 7 string guitars feature a 25.5" scale length.
