A group that has not sounded like anyone else in over decades, Meshuggah are one of the few purely and honestly lateral-thinking forces genuinely dedicated to pushing the boundaries of extreme music simply because doing so comes naturally to them. Unafraid to take risks and tackle new experiences, they create albums you can listen to a decade later and discover things you never noticed before. Ibanez is pleased to introduce the FTM33, a new signature model of Fredrik Thordendal, the guitarist of the band.

The FTM33 comes with a 7pc Maple/Walnut neck-through construction, contributing to its massive sustain and smooth access to high fretboard positions. The luminescent side dot inlay makes it easy for players to see in the dark, especially when on stage. The Lundgren Model M8P pickups offer a powerful, brilliant, and "Djenty" sound that is sustained even when played with low tuning. The FX Edge III-8 bridge provides maximum tuning stability and features a sleek, low-profile design for extra playing comfort. All of its specifications are adjusted for Fredrik's best performance as well as that of any other metal guitarist. The FTM33 is certain to satisfy aggressive metal guitarists worldwide.

Verified Customer zZounds has verified that this reviewer made a purchase from us.
Given the heft and odd body shape of this guitar, it is very well balanced. It sounds amazing, and the neck so rounded (thus far more comfortable than the RG8). it djents.

Musical Style:

Metal, sludge, rock.
