Overview

In another member of their made-for-metal Iron Label line, Ibanez has applied their expertise used to pioneer and perfect the 8-string electric to their marvel of form and function, the SIR28FD S Series electric guitar. The combination of an Iron Pewter finish and sleek bound rosewood fretboard make for a dramatic silhouette. Lurking beneath the S Series graceful 3-D shape is mahogany specifically chosen for the S Series instruments. Light enough in terms of comfort, heavy enough to provide the tone and sustain that the S Series is known for.

As the originators of the thin, fast neck, the Nitro Wizard 8 neck is yet another achievement in playability, providing the kind of comfort that translates to responsiveness and speed. The best-of-all-under-worlds DiMarzio D Activator 8 pickups provide an impressive palette of distorted tone textures.

This is my first brand new guitar and I could not be happier with my decision! The D Activators have a mean tone with great string tone and enough low end to keep things heavy. Such a thin/light weight guitar. Only down side is that the frets are "unfinished" so you can feel them as you run your hand down the edge of the neck. but i dont even notice any more. All around great guitar!!!
