The Quantum pickups equipped at both the bridge and neck offer brilliant dynamism, providing an accelerated bass response whilst clearly tracking the high end. You can be assured that, no matter how fast you are riffing, these pickups will keep up with you. Partnered with a 5-way switch, they offer up complete tonal control, allowing you to finely tune your guitar's sound. While the Quantum pickups might specialise in rock and metal, they still offer fantastic presence and brilliant balance to suit any playing style, making this Ibanez any musician's perfect companion.
The Ibanez S521 features Ibanez own Wizard III neck profile, offering extreme comfort and blisteringly fast playability, perfect for maximising the efficiency of your hand’s manoeuvres. The thin nature of the neck allows your hand to run seamlessly along the guitar whilst still guaranteeing full resonance and sustain when playing rhythmic patterns. A rosewood fretboard enhances the guitars overall feel, offering a smooth performance surface whilst simultaneously producing a sound that has a strong, well-balanced characteristic with subtle inlays of brightness.
This Ibanez is crafted for a perfect playing experience. A fixed F106 bridge is deployed to uphold the instrument's string tension and tuning stability, reducing the time spent tuning and prolonging the time spent performing. It’s not just in tuning that the Ibanez S521 is crafted for reliability. A bolt on maple neck offers incredible durability and resilience, ensuring an extended life from your instrument. This is coupled with a mahogany body which delivers a warm delicate tone thanks to the wood’s strength and density, which further solidifies the reliability.
Over the past 30 years, Ibanez Guitars have always been at the forefront of developing the right tools for electric guitar 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 have been made since 1908, it wasn't until the late 1980s 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.
