Ibanez' sleek S was a revolt against the traditional Mahogany guitars of its time that were usually heavy, bulky and uncomfortable. Obviously it was a successful revolt as the S is celebrating its 20th Anniversary with a wider selection of models than ever. Learn More...

10 out of 10Feature:
Excellent ZR tremelo. Allows you to bend strings without the bridge raising too much.
Desirability:
Very sexy
Sound:
You definitely need to rip the pickups out. I haven't done this yet as I am trying to work out which pickup combination might work the best. I've narrowed it down to 3 choices...
-2 EMG 707 Active pickups
-a Dimarzio D-Sonic (Petrucci) in bridge and a Dimarzio D-Activator in the neck (an active-sounding passive).
-The Evolution (Vai)
I love John Petrucci's sound so I may go with the second option at this stage. Does anyone have any feedback on my choice.
Ease of Use:
Very comfortable... and I've never played a 7-string before this one.
yes
no
