About Ibanez:
There's no denying that Ibanez stands head and shoulders above the majority of their competition—especially in the world of heavy metal. Ibanez guitars were extremely popular during the '80s among hard rock shredders thanks to their smooth necks, powerful pickups and comfortable shapes. Today, Ibanez continues to be a hit with anyone who has a passion for cranking to 10 and dropping jaws with mind-bending solos. If this sounds like you, then you're definitely in the right place—in fact, this catalog even offers beginner acoustic guitar packs, effects pedals, acoustic-electric bass guitars and axes from the famed Ibanez Premium line.
Over the decades, Ibanez has earned the respect of many famous musicians, including Paul Stanley, Joe Satriani and Steve Vai. Of course, even the greats had to start somewhere, which is why Ibanez puts as much time and effort into their cost-friendly instruments as they do their high-end models. If you're still in the learning stages of playing, the IJV30 Quickstart 3/4 acoustic guitar pack is a fantastic bundle option to put you on the right path of your musical journey. The scaled-down size makes this beautifully-crafted 6-string ideal for beginners, particularly players with smaller arms and fingers. In addition to the guitar, this affordable pack features a durable gig bag for traveling to lessons and a high-quality tuner to ensure your chords always ring true.
As for all you experienced players, you owe it to yourselves to check out the masterpieces waiting in the Ibanez Premium series. "Performance Beyond Expectation" is the motto of this line and the instruments are made with only the highest-quality woods, components and hardware. There are even signature Premium guitars created in collaboration between Ibanez and well-known players. For example, the Steve Vai Signature JEM Premium Series 6-String electric guitar boasts DiMarzio Dark Matter 2 humbucker pickups, the Edge Zero II tremolo bridge and a Wizard neck with jumbo frets. Strap on this beauty and you'll be one step closer to achieving Vai's one-of-a-kind style. Now for all you groove keepers, feast your eyes on the SR1805E Premium 5-string electric bass. Equipped with Nordstrand Big Single pickups and showcasing a 5-piece SR5 wenge/bubinga neck, this bass is as versatile as it is powerful.
Since 1957, Ibanez guitars and basses have been preferred by countless rockers of all skill levels and budgets—and as you can see from this selection, their dedication to your playing enjoyment is stronger than ever.
