Ibanez S Axe Design Lab Multi-scale 6str Electric Guitar (Arctic Ocean Matte)

The cutting edge of Ibanez design, the S series continues to be a marvel of form and function. Its signature body shape - sculpted, lightweight, and mahogany - is stronger and more musically responsive than guitars weighing twice as much. The Ibanez SML721 Axe Design Lab Multi-Scale 6-String Right-Handed Electric Guitar in Midnight Arctic Ocean Matte is still a rock n roll version of a quick, graceful, and potentially lethal weapon.

Axe Design Lab

Ibanez has been creating innovations which do not only fit the unique demands of players from that period, but also eventually turn into industrial standards, such as 7 string, 8 string and Multi scale guitars. All these started from our attitude to be ‘Innovative, Cutting-Edge and Pioneer.’ Axe Design Lab is the series fully represents this attitude.

Walnut Wizard Neck, Rosewood Fingerboard, and Nyatoh Body

Ibanez's thin, flat, and fast 5pc maple and walnut Wizard neck is strong and sturdy and offers unlimited playability for demanding players. The rosewood fretboard provides a well-balanced solid tone with a focused mid-range. Stainless steel frets boast excellent corrosion resistance. The wide and tall fret-type offers a quick response and effortless articulation when playing chords and clear tone when playing single notes. Nyatoh used as the body wood provides a rich mid-low end.

Q58 Pickups, Gotoh Machine Heads, and Mono-Rail Bridge

Q58 pickups are designed specifically for use in headless guitars. They provide a clearly defined sound, facilitating excellent tonal balance through all frequencies. The lows are powerful without being muddy, and the highs are bright and clear, but never harsh. As a result, every single note within the chord structure is well defined, and clearly audible. These pickups, with their tonal balance, and extremely low noise performance, work extremely well with both digital and analog effects. The Gotoh MG-T locking machine heads achieve incredible tuning stability, cutting down string-changing time. Designed for both stability and sustain, the innovative Ibanez Mono-Rail bridge minimizes cross-talk between strings.

dyna-MIX10 Switching System with Alter Switch and Luminescent Side Dots

The dyna-MIX 10 offers ten sound variations and can easily switch from humbucker and single coil modes with the mini switch. The power Tap mode provides a realistic single coil sound despite its two-humbucker pickup layout. The luminescent side dot position marks make it easy for players to see fretboard position marks when performing on dark stages.
