Ibanez SA160QM Electric Guitar (Quilted Top, Transparent Gray)

No longer available at zZounds
Warm, fat sound in a tight, thin body.

The slim Mahogany S is more than just a warm, fat sound in a tight, thin body. The S was a guitar for players who weren't afraid to be different. And those players came from every genre: death metal, fusion, ska, you name it.

The diversity of S Series players still amazes us. It shouldn't, but we keep getting amazed, amazing. No other guitar offers the S combination of sleek, light comfort and warm, rich tone. Imagine Aretha Franklin's voice in the body of Tony Braxton. Impossible for vocalists, not for guitar. Not for Ibanez.

This review has been selected by our experts as particularly helpful.
I will keep this guitar until it wears out (in many years) and if it does, I wouldn't hesitate to buy an identical model. Anyone looking for a great quality, easy to play and great sounding guitar at a super price needs to put this guitar at the top of their checklist.
Sound
Excellent sustain, good crunch, heavy tone, one some pick up settings it sounds like my fender strat.
Features
Would like to have a humbucker in the neck position. If I use the tremolo a lot, the guitar needs frequent retuning. The pick ups are great. The neck, fretboard, and especially the body are beautiful. I own the amber quilted maple body version and it is just striking - Ibanez hit a home run on this body styling!
Quality
This is very well made guitar - no defects in appearance or sound. Very solid frame for a thinner guitar.
Value
This is one of the best values in guitars I could find and I compared this to Fenders, Gibsons, Epiphones - Price, looks, playability and sound can not be beat!
Manufacturer Support
Have not had any problems or repairs.
The Wow Factor
One beautiful, gorgeous guitar (in amber quitled maple finish). This guitar looks great on display, like a work of art!
