The Ibanez S series first appeared in 1987. Ever since, it has changed in appearance and function to represent the cutting edge of Ibanez design. Famous for its lightweight carved mahogany body, the S can take a beating while still providing the resonance of guitars twice its size. The S series also comes equipped with the Edge II Locking Tremolo, a smooth ball bearing tremolo that makes every subtle nuance of whammy bar use come alive.

Features:

- The original and famous Ibanez S body
- Heavy mahogany tone without the heavy mahogany weight
- 24-fret Wizard II necks
- New 7-string S7420 model

I started financing my S770PB about a month ago. Since then, I have only changed the strings (and adjusted the spring tension) so that I could tune down to drop C. The quality of this guitar can be seen immediately. The poplar burl top is stunning in person and the natural finish is orgasmic to the touch. Although, the quality of this instrument is really exposed through playing it. When you pick it up and set it in your lap, its almost mind blowing how lightweight it is. The sculpted 3D S body style almost makes it feel as if you're playing with a cheapo, kiddie guitar. This was especially nice for me since I am not a fan of heavy, bulky, feels like they chopped down a tree and put string on it types of guitars. The fretboard is so thin in comparison to any other six string that I've laid my hands on. This makes it so easy to maneuver and really helps when it comes to soloing. Many people gripe about the tremolo. I have yet to see any problems with it, although I've only had it about a month. Its also not my first rodeo when it comes to floating trems. The five way switch allows for a lot of tonal range. My only complaint is the pickups, but those can be easily replaced which is the only reason I gave it a 4.5 instead of 5. And they're not even bad, they could just be better. Btw, don't pay attention to the ratings below. I hope that this review has helped anyone.
