Wide Tonal Palette

Ibanez S570DXQM Electric Guitar

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 ZR tremolo system, 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 III necks
- ZR Zero Resistance tremolo with ball bearings offers smooth and stable arming
- S570DXQMs feature beautiful Quilted Maple tops with Mahogany bodies

Featuring the ZR Tremolo

Zero Resistance technology, yet another Ibanez tremolo improvement, replaces standard knife-edge pivots with a ball-bearing based pivot joint, which provides greater tuning stability.

The ZR tremolo uses a ball-bearing based system for precision and friction-free smooth action.

This unique system stabilizes the bridge and insures tuning stability by consistently returning the tremolo to the center point (or zero point). In addition to the usual tremolo springs, the Zero Point System features two additional springs which insures the bridge's return to the center point.

The Zero Point system adjustment can be quickly set by hand-there's no need for a hex wrench.

Zero Resistance technology, yet another Ibanez tremolo improvement, replaces standard knife-edge pivots with a ball-bearing-based pivot joint, which provides greater stability. Finally, a locking tremolo that stays in tune when a string breaks!

Just unscrew the built-in intonation adjustment tool from the base and screw it into the bottom of each saddle for quick adjustments.

The locking bolt is offset from the center of the saddle, which allows easy access to the bolt without loosening the strings.

My wife bought this for my bday... thanks hun!! Its really my favorite guitar now. I love everything about it. It makes playing so much easier and the sound is excellent. I am finishing up my 5 album and I used it to record an acoustic part for one song. Seriously, play it clean and it sounds like a top dollar acoustic....
Sound
I own 18 guitars; 72 telecaster, high end strat, 335... this guitar is tops. The pickups are really diverse. The bridge is bright and the neck is beefy and jazzy. I can get nasty od and clean mellow acoustic tones out of this.
Features
The bridge is like something out of a sci-fi movie. I have a Kahler on one of my guitars but this is the best I have seen. Just changed strings and it was really easy (one at a time!!!!) It responds well to adjustments. Everything on this guitar is top dollar.
Ease of Use
Cant stop playing it. It is really smooth. The big frets are so easy to play and the neck is fast and smooth.
Quality
Thank you Ibanez for not making junk!! This guitar is how other guitars should be made.
Value
I played my friends $3300 PRS and my Ibanez is by far superior...
