Product Features
Nyatoh neck
The 3pc Nyatoh/Maple Neck provides a rich mid-low end.
Solid Okoume top
Solid Okoume top offers a full-bodied and warm mid-range and a bright tone.
Thermo Aged Ovangkol bridge
Thermo Aged, a special drying process, makes the Ovangkol bridge light and hard and provides stability and better resonance with enhanced lows and low-mids.
Ibanez AEQ-SP2 preamp w/Onboard tuner
The Ibanez AEQ-SP2 Preamp delivers excellent sonic reproduction and control of tonal characteristics and easy operation
Ovangkol fretboard
The Ovangkol fretboard provides greater playing comfort.
Okoume back and sides
The Okoume back and sides generate a woody, warm tone when the guitar is played softly or finger-picked and provide punchy high-mids with a clear projection when strummed.
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.
