DISC Ibanez PS10 Paul Stanley Prestige 2018, Black

Full Description

Resonant African Mahogany Body

The PS10 Paul Stanley signature guitar is built from African mahogany which gives a warm and resonant core tone with a lightweight playing feel; perfect for long playing sessions. The body is topped with maple which brings additional bright overtones to your sound and lets harmonics leap out of your amplifier. The single cutaway design gives easy access to the top frets, so you'll be able to perform high-range solos with ease.

Smooth Playing Neck

The PS10's neck is maple which gives a bright tonal addition to your sound. It is crafted in 3 pieces for increased sustain and tuning stability. The neck is mounted to the body with a set-in design for superior vibration transfer to the body, while the neck joint is incredibly smooth which means you'll find it effortlessly easy reaching the top end of the fingerboard. The ebony fingerboard assists with low-end articulation, while the 22 medium frets are finished with Ibanez's Premium fret edge treatment for a liquid-smooth playing feel. The neck is tapered in thickness across its length, which gives the feel of a classic vintage rock guitar.

Rocking Humbucker Tones

A pair of Seymour Duncan humbuckers give you the rock tones required by a guitar with these stand-out looks. The Custom 5 is an alnico-equipped version of the Custom Custom, crafted for a scooped mid-range and a full tone with excellent balance across the treble and bass. This bridge pickup matches perfectly with the '59 neck pickup, based on the original '50s PAF for a sweet sustain with full-sounding chords and clear attack. These two pickups give you the optimal range of blues/rock tones, wired with a 3-way selector for individual and combined sounds.

Stand-Out Looks

The PS10 features the Ibanez Iceman body shape, modified to the signature aesthetic of Paul Stanley. The guitar has a classic black finish, complemented by the chrome hardware, signature-design tailpiece, cream binding, abalone purfling, split abalone/acrylic inlays, and white machine heads. This guitar's look is perfect for the glam rock signature style of Kiss, but it would also make the perfect stand-out instrument for any rock musician looking to make their mark.

Quality Hardware

To enhance the guitar's sustain even more, the PS10 is equipped with a Gibralta bridge and sustain block, along with a special half-bone/half-brass nut. This gives the ideal mix of warm tone and resonance.

About Ibanez Guitars
