The Prestige Series: Ibanez's Commitment to Modern Playing
With performance-oriented specifications, this guitar follows the tradition of Ibanez models designed for demanding guitarists: fast neck, full access to 24 frets, reliable hardware, and modern electronics. The whole forms an instrument calibrated for technical playing, where every detail (from neck profile to fret finishing) aims for fluidity and precision.
Who Is It For, and Which Styles?
Ideal for intermediate to advanced guitarists seeking a responsive, stable electric guitar tailored for fast playing. It excels in metal, modern rock, progressive, fusion, and "lead" styles requiring clean palm-muting, controlled bends, and expressive vibrato. The double-locking vibrato requires some familiarity for setup but rewards with excellent tuning stability.
Sound Characteristics
The wood combination offers a balance between attack and depth: presence of ash for definition and bite, combined with African mahogany for the body and a denser low-midrange foundation. The Birdseye maple fingerboard adds snap and immediate response, ideal for tight rhythms and precise solos.
On the electronics side, the Fishman Fluence Modern ceramic active pickups deliver a powerful sound, very clear under saturation, with fast response and harmonics that are easy to highlight. The voicing switch expands the tonal palette, while the 3-way selector and volume/tone controls provide simple and effective control. The Lo-Pro Edge promotes smooth feel and good sustain, while maintaining tuning stability suited for intensive vibrato use.
Recommended Compatible Accessories
To stay as close as possible to the original feel, opt for a set of 09-42 strings identical to D'Addario EXL120 (standard tuning 1E, 2B, 3G, 4D, 5A, 6E). The hardshell case is included, as well as the tremolo arm, multi-tool, and hex key.
