Follow the leader. If you're looking for people who know about extended range guitars, look no further than Ibanez and Korn's Munky. The Ibanez APEX30 Munky brings together their combined knowledge and creativity to forge a seven string masterpiece that lives for the low end. A pair of DiMarzio Blaze pickups provide a thick bottom end with total clarity in the highs, that's perfect for seventh-string riffing without the mud.
Own the stage. Give every performance your all, while the ingenious mechanism in the APEX30's innovative, Evertune bridge, keeps every string 100 in tune at all times. A thin, Wizard II-7 neck provides top-notch playability, while the brighter sound of the sleek, ebony fingerboard gives a crushing attack that lets your chords scythe through any amount of distortion with total clarity. With black hardware and a metallic grey matte finish that's made for the spotlight, the APEX30 Munky is one Freak that's ready to be unleashed.

Untouchable tone. The DiMarzio Blaze pickup set that comes with the APEX30 could not be better suited to low-tuned metal. The bridge humbucker has been tuned especially to enhance the thick, low-end beef of seven or eight-string guitars. A somewhat scooped mid response cleans up the filthiest tones just enough to let the Ibanez Munky's power and note resonance shine through.
The matching Blaze neck position pickup takes this even further, with a smooth, broad sound and a slightly reduced output compared with its bridge counterpart. This makes it ideal for chiming cleans, searing solos, and even lightly driven, jazzy tones - real strength in depth. A traditional three way blade makes switching or blending the DiMarzios simple, and a straightforward, single volume, single tone pot setup keeps the APEX30 Munky focussed on one thing - a punishing nu-metal performance.
Say goodbye to mid-set tune-ups. Nothing kills the vibe of a sweaty rock show like an out of tune guitar. Thanks to the APEX30 Munky's built-in Evertune bridge, you'll never have to pause to tune up again. The Evertune system is a radical design, which uses an intricate combination of gear and levers to precisely maintain each string's tension, no matter how hard you go on stage.
Decide how much variation you want to allow in each individual string's pitch, simply by turning a screw. This means you can set your lowest strings for perfectly intonated sludge, no matter how hard you pick, while keeping the ability to perform bends in the higher register. And don't worry about bending those new strings - the Evertune is constantly recalibrating to counteract that drop in pitch as your new strings bed in, so you can string up and hit the stage with confidence.
The godfathers of nu-metal. Formed in 1993 in California, Korn have spent more than a quarter of a century redefining the sound of metal, and metal guitar in particular. Munky's iconic and unmistakable low-strung growl quickly became the signature sound of the genre that would soon be dubbed 'nu-metal'.
Best showcased on huge hits like Got the Life and Freak on a Leash, Munky's unique playing style is characterised by ominous, single-note riffs and huge, power-chord choruses, almost always dripping in heavy distortion and utilising the full, extended range of his drop-tuned guitars. His playing has inspired guitarists from Limp Bizkit's Wez Borland to Slipknot's Jim Root. Now his signature Ibanez APEX30 model is here to inspire you too.
