Sixteen years ago everyone "knew" that fat Mahogany tone and sustain equaled weight and discomfort. Then the S changed everything. The S is thin around the edge to give you great comfort, and thick around the neck, pickups and bridge to give you great tone. The 2003 S line offers both double locking and synchronized trems, some including built-in piezos so the S can add acoustic clarity to its signature Mahogany tone and sustain.
Series Features:
Big, heavy tone without the big heavy body. Super sleek S guitars provide complete playing freedom and comfort. New finishes complement the unique S arched back and top.
Thin fast, and flat Wizard and Wizard II necks allow effortless fretwork.
2003 models feature the ZR Zero Resistance tremolo, a major technological advance in tremolo smoothness and tuning stability.
Have you seen the headlines? "Guitar rock is back."
We're happy to hear it. Except at Ibanez, guitar rock never "left" - and if you're the type of player who reads Ibanez catalogs, you've been too busy playing guitar or bass to worry a whole lot about the media's take on music. However, the papers are right about one thing: there are more new guitar and bass guitar styles than ever before. That's why there are more different kinds of guitars and basses in the 2003 Ibanez line up.
