Part of the iconic S series, this guitar is a sleek expression of modern design with a lightweight, sculpted body that feels as good as it looks.

It's an instrument built for guitarists who demand uncompromising tone, playability and aesthetic appeal.
Iconic S Series Body—Thin, Lightweight and Responsive
The Ibanez S520AH features the signature contoured body shape that has defined the S series for decades. Its sleek, ultrathin profile not only reduces weight but also enhances playing comfort, making it ideal for extended sessions on stage or in the studio. Carved from ash, the body resonates with a balanced tonal spectrum, offering tight lows, pronounced mids and shimmering highs.

Fast and Fluid Wizard III Neck With Rosewood Fingerboard
Designed for speed and precision, the S520AH is equipped with Ibanez's renowned Wizard III neck. Crafted from maple, its slim, flat profile allows for effortless movement across the fretboard, making intricate solos and fast-paced rhythm playing feel natural and fluid. The rosewood fretboard adds warmth and depth to your tone, while the jumbo frets provide a comfortable grip for expressive bends and articulate note definition. From sweeping arpeggios to locked-in heavy riffing, this neck is built to keep up with your technique.
Quantum Humbuckers for Crushing Power and Articulation
A guitar of this caliber demands pickups that can match its versatility. The Ibanez S520AH comes equipped with Quantum humbuckers in both the neck and bridge positions, delivering a powerful and responsive tonal palette. These high-output pickups provide razor-sharp articulation, making them perfect for fast alternate picking, deep chugging riffs and searing leads. With an extended bass response and a well-defined midrange, the Quantum pickups cut through any mix with clarity and aggression, ensuring your sound stands out in any performance setting.
Edge-Zero II Tremolo—Ultimate Tuning Stability and Expressiveness
Ibanez's Edge-Zero II tremolo system offers rock-solid tuning stability while providing an expressive range of pitch control. Designed with a lower-profile build for improved playing comfort, this bridge lets you execute deep dive bombs, fluttering vibratos and smooth bends with precision. The stud lock function enhances tuning reliability, ensuring your strings return to pitch no matter how aggressively you use the tremolo. Whether you're performing intricate whammy bar techniques or adding subtle vibrato to sustain notes, this system offers effortless control over your sound.
