The new 2008 S Prestige is the guitar that, in the future, all metal-minded axes will be judged against. 24 frets of slippery fast neck, new tonal possibilities and a new, revolutionary tremolo make this Ultimate S the sign of great things to come. The S5470F features a flamed maple top and a stunning Red Viking finish.

“The new S Prestige models take what the S is known for—fast, fat mahogany tone without the fat mahogany weight—and augments those qualities at every level!” explained Shogo Hayashi of Ibanez. “The new S Prestige is the first S with a 24-fret neck. Hardware-wise, you’ve got the new Zero Resistance ZR2 ball bearing-driven trem and the new ZPS3 spring system so you can get even more radical arming techniques with even better stability. The new Hot Grinder humbucker and Short Tracer single coil pickups, which are exclusive to the Prestige S, are designed to coax even more mahogany warmth and fatness out of the body.”
