Ibanez SA260FM Flame Top Electric Guitar

No longer available at zZounds
Get the sound of mahogany minus the back-breaking weight -- the Ibanez SA260fm Flame Top electric has a contoured body for lightweight comfort and huge tone.

Sixteen years ago everyone "knew" that fat mahogany tone and sustain equaled weight and discomfort. Then the SA changed everything. The SA is thin around the edge to give you great comfort, and thick around the neck, pickups and bridge to give you great tone.

For players who want S sleekness, but with a standard flat back.

25.5 neck scale offers narrow feel and tight tension similar to an RG.

Rosewood offers a strong, bright sound and an attractive appearance with a long grain.

Unlike other brands in this price range, SA models receive the same individual inspection and set-up as Ibanez's most expensive models.

"Ibanez SA260FM is AWESOME!!"

Overall: 5 out of 5 stars
(see rating details)
I do not ever sell my guitars, so, I make sure before I buy that it meets my standards for the price range!!
Sound
The sounds that I can get are all the way country, to full on metal, to a nice jazz/blues tonality. It really is extremely versatile. I love that fact.
Features
I looked, and looked for a flame maple top and Mohogany body. I almost got the PRS SE..which is nice, but for the cash I paid for this $399.00 and $85 for a very nice Ibanex case. It simply was not a question. The sound I get from this, it easily is as good or better that the PRS. I LOVE the True DUO bridge PU. It really has a great growl when needed. Plus the FM top is just as nice, if not better than the PRS SE's. The nech is a 3 pc maple which has a great worn in feel. Note though, it is not as FAT as the PRS. I like this one slightly better as it fits better for me.
Ease of Use
Great support and service from my Local Auth Ibanez dealer. Guitar X!!
Quality
Good luck finding another guitar of this kind of quality for the cash. It IS not possible!
Value
