Overview

An Ibanez "S" guitar with outrageously good looks and playability.

The Ibanez S5EX1 Electric Guitar features an exotic zebrawood top and a mahogany body that delivers a warm tone. With sleek top arch the S5EX1 is an instrument that feels luxurious and is highly playable. The 3-piece bolt-on maple neck has the fast Ibanez Wizard II neck profile and is dressed with 24 jumbo frets for increased expressiveness. The ZR Zero Resistance double locking ball bearing bridge offers smoother and stable tremolo action. Dual "zebra" Ibanez INF humbuckers have a versatile tonal array. Case sold separately.

Infinity humbucking pickups
The INF 1 black and cream 'Zebra' humbucker installed in the neck position has a ceramic magnet and is versatile and responsive with warm classic tone and added output. Infinity Single1 single-coil pickup in the middle position has an alnico magnet and is designed to work with the humbuckers in the split position. The IN2 black and cream 'Zebra' humbucking bridge pickup features an enhanced midrange output. Its Alnico-5 magnet allows for individual string clarity and excellent dynamics.

Zero Point tremolo system
The unique Zero Point system stabilizes the bridge and insures tuning stability by consistently returning the tremolo to the center point (or zero point). In addition to the usual tremolo springs, the Zero Point System features two additional springs, which insures the bridge's return to the center point. The Zero Point system adjustment can be quickly set by hand“there's no need for a hex wrench. The ZR tremolo uses a ball-bearing based system for precision and friction-free smooth action.
