Ibanez have always been at the forefront of developing the right tools for players pushing the boundaries of music. For decades, Ibanez designers and luthiers have been the embodiment of this ideology, pushing their skills to the edge of imagination, consistently creating some of the most dynamic instruments ever. Never has this ethos been more clear than in the Matt Blanchard signature guitars. The Shadows Fall guitarist's signature Ibanez guitar is the definitive metal guitar.
