Full Description
View Full DescriptionQuantum pickup power
Unleash your creativity. With two heavy-duty Quantum humbuckers at your disposal, you’ll have access to a huge range of sounds to experiment with. There’s the bridge humbucker, which offers a high output, crunchy tone with plenty of bite, and the neck pickup, which is warm, smooth, and rich, whilst maintaining plenty of output. Armed with this thunderous duo, you’ll be able to write riffs which rip through the mix with ease.
Magical playability
Cast your sonic spells. A jatoba fretboard adds balance and brightness to your sound, which is incredibly effective for any amp settings. But it's the Wizard III maple neck which steals the show - it offers even more bite and sustain to each note. Being the famous Wizard III design, it's incredibly playable, offering ultra-fast access to any position on the fretboard. As such, you'll have complete freedom to improvise and play through any song you choose without restriction.
Edgy vibrato
Want more wobble? The Edge II tremolo system installed on this guitar will give you just that, letting you inject your riffs with endless vibrato. From screeching divebombs to shimmering chords, you can really spice things up using this device, with your tuning stability remaining firmly intact. Time to take to the stage.
About Ibanez
Over the past 30 years, Ibanez have always been at the forefront of developing the right tools for Electric Guitar and Bass 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 versatile and unique instruments ever. Although Ibanez guitars and basses have been made since 1908, it wasn't until the late 1980's that they began to form an identity for themselves when artists such as Steve Vai and Frank Zappa began using their instruments. Now with a huge artist clientele across the globe Ibanez are a leading manufacturer of electric guitars and basses and a first choice for many dedicated musicians.
