Essential Information About the Ibanez FLATV1 Guitar ? Black

AZS Signature and "Vintage-Modern" Spirit
This FLATV1 belongs to Ibanez?s AZS family, designed to combine the feel of historic solid-body guitars with modern ergonomics. The FLATV heel with a 4-screw plate, the curved control plate, and dedicated knobs maintain a traditional look while optimizing access and stage reliability.
For Which Guitarists and Styles?
Ideal for
intermediate to professional guitarists seeking a responsive and expressive electric guitar. It excels in
blues, soul, funk, country, jazz, and roots rock, effortlessly covering both tight rhythm playing and singing lead with fine control over volume and tone.
Sound Characteristics
The
ash delivers attack, clarity, and "twang," while the roasted maple adds projection and sustain. The
FLAT5 pickups feature a slightly hotter vintage-style neck pickup for round cleans and creamy crunches, and a bridge pickup designed with a mix of Alnico magnets for precise, never harsh highs. The
3-position selector covers silky neck tones to snappy bridge sounds, with a very clear middle position. The
Gotoh F1803 bridge with titanium "In-Tune" saddles enhances sustain, intonation, and string balance.
Recommended Compatible Accessories
Supplied with a
hard case, this model accepts nickel string sets in gauge
.010?.046 (direct replacement for D?Addario EXL110). For lightweight transport, the
Ibanez IGB724-BK gig bag is compatible. Add a standard 50 mm
strap and a
flat capo for 6-string electric guitar to expand your playing possibilities.
