Key Features

• Comfort Grip Nyatoh neck – The Comfort Grip Nyatoh Neck contour provides superior playability.
• Thermo Aged Ovangkol fretboard – Thermo Aged, a special drying process, makes the Ovangkol fretboard light and harder and provides increased stability.
• Solid Sitka Spruce top – Solid Sitka Spruce top provides an enormous frequency range that offers wave after wave of shimmering highs along with tight mids and a full-bodied low end.
• Ovangkol back and sides – Ovangkol back and sides offers well-balanced tones with a full-bodied mid range and a sparkling treble.
• Ibanez T-bar Undersaddle pickup – The Ibanez T-bar Undersaddle pickup accurately translates that full sound to whatever amplification system you plug it into.
• Ibanez AEQ-TP2 preamp w/Onboard tuner – The Ibanez AEQ-TP2 preamp provides the extra punch of on-board EQ along with a convenient and easy-to-read digital tuner and 2-band EQ, located on the instrument’s upper bout.
• Thermo Aged Ovangkol Scalloped bridge – The lightweight, scalloped bridge enhances vibration transfer for improved resonance and offers greater flexibility when adjusting the action compared to a traditional bridge. Thermo Aged™, a specialized drying process, makes the bridge even lighter and harder for increased stability.
• Ibanez Advantage bridge pins – These pins really are an advantage over old-fashioned pins. Advantage™ pins are easier to take out and easier to put in than standard pins. A special bulb-shaped end makes the pin easy to grip and also prevents the pin from being pushed in too far. Best of all, with Advantage™ the pin and string stay put.

Supreme Tone and Playability

The Solid Sitka Spruce top helps project the natural sound of the guitar, offering an expansive frequency range with brilliant highs, tight mids, and full-bodied lows. Paired with ovangkol back and sides, the result is a well-balanced sound profile with sparkling trebles and a robust midrange. The Comfort Grip Nyatoh neck ensures effortless playability, making extended sessions enjoyable, while the Thermo Aged ovangkol fretboard provides a smooth surface and enhanced stability through its specialized drying process.

A.I.R.port

Through intensive research and development, we have designed the A.I.R.port with a unique internal structure that reflects sound waves and guides them to exit from a precisely positioned sound hole. As a result, players can monitor what they are playing more clearly, which enhances the overall playing experience.

X-M Bracing

After spending years of trial-and-error, Ibanez realized the out-of-the-box X-M Bracing to generate the ultimate sound standing out on the stage. The carefully designed scalloped X-bracing, the allocation of tone braces, and finger braces transmit the string vibration efficiently through the bridge to the body. The X-M Bracing creates the clear bottom and crispy treble sound with trimmed warm mid-range, yet provides a wide dynamic range and high response.
