Features

Comfort Grip Maple neck

The Comfort Grip Maple Neck contour provides superior playability.

Ibanez AEQ-2T preamp w/Onboard tuner

AEQ-2T preamp is specifically-designed to adjust the frequencies of a bass and Treble, and allows operation of the built-in tuner without the instrument being plugged in.

Rosewood fretboard

Rosewood fretboard provides a well-balanced solid tone with a focused mid range.

Flamed Maple top

The Flamed Maple top creates an attractive visual profile and offers a bright and tight tone.

Ibanez Advantage™ bridge pins

These pins really are an advantage over old-fashioned pins. Advantage™ pins are easier to take out and easier to put in than standard pins. A special bulb-shaped end makes the pin easy to grip and also prevents the pin from being pushed in too far. Best of all, with Advantage™ the pin and string stay put.
