Ibanez guitars are normally known for their sleek, futuristic looks but the latest Ibanez offering looks some of the funky old axes the company put out in the early to mid-60's -- something you might found hanging in an old pawnshop. Which is exactly the vibe the new Jet King models were designed for. In contrast to Jet King's old school appearance are modern coil taps (accessed with the vintage-look rocker switches, high output pickups and the kind of quietness of operation that was unheard of in the "good old days." Another nice touch is the brushed aluminum pickguard that combines both funk and class. In keeping with their mid-60's look, the Jet Kings feature the old Ibanez "spaghetti" logo that was used on Ibanez electric guitars and basses from the 60's until the very early 80's.
