DISC Ibanez DN500 Darkstone Electric Guitar, Black

Full Description

Over the past 30 years, 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.

Tight-Tune Bridge/Tailpiece

Solid as a rock, the Tight-Tune bridge and tailpiece were designed to lock down securely and prevent any kind of wobble or movement. Each saddle is locked into the base plate, and the bridge is anchored by stud bolts into the body of the guitar. Furthermore, the studs are also locked onto the base plate so that the maximum vibration from the string is transferred to the body.

PP1 Pickups

The tube pole-piece construction of the new pickups designed for the Ibanez Darkstone offers quick response, sparkling clarity and added harmonics for a humbucker sound.

Escutcheon

The original pickup mounting ring, specially designed for the Darkstone, keeps the pickup parallel to the strings at all times. Unlike the usual mounting rings, this one enables the pickups to catch equal vibrations from each string and avoid tone loss.

Set-In Neck Construction

Set-In Neck construction on the DN-series provides massive sustain and playing comfort.
