Features
Jatoba Fretboard

Jatoba has a reddish brown color which produces a rich mid range with a crisp high end.

Coil-tap switch

The coil tap switch adds sound and tonal variations for both pickups.

DiMarzio® Fusion Edge Pickups

Through close collaboration between Ibanez and DiMarzio® Fusion Edge pickups have been engineered to produce a powerful, distinctive tone with a crisp, cutting high end, and a tight, compressed bottom end, minus any muddy mid-range.

[Guitar Heel]

so much wrong

 

[Aahzz]

If I was going to go for a shred machine I'd consider that.

 

[Dexter Inferno]

I don't hate it. Probably a great shredder axe.
Not a big fan of the Wizard necks though.

 

[VoidTerraFirma]

Simultaneously garish and boring.

 

[wok]

I quite like it

 

[Pine Apple Slim]

It could be uglier, but I still hate it.

 

[Guitar Heel]

Simultaneously garish and boring.

well-said.

 

[Help!I'maRock!]

It could be uglier, but I still hate it.

It could!

 

[frunobulax]

For what it is and what it's meant to do, it's alright.

 

[Modern Saint]

Not a fan of Ibanez modern instruments anymore. Trying to flip my Satriani (on consignment in a reputable Hawaii music shop) and considering flipping my Jem as well if I can get back to the islands.

 

[Denverdave]

A nicer shred machine. Nothing I would ever own, but I do like the look of the top.

 

[Knox in Box]

A damned nice Ibanez, but wizard necks aren't for me either

 

[Tig]

That blue

 

[PunkKitty]

Meh.

 

[dodgechargerfan]

My only thought: Joe Dirt in a tux.

 

[jelloman]

I like Wizard necks, but I don't like locking trems...if that were a hard-tail I'd be tempted...

 

[Jbird]

Does Ibanez make Necromancer-profile necks, for guitarists that play in death metal bands?

 

[Highernoon]

The top is wrong.
The trem ain't low profile.
The bindings... well, not that bad, but meh.
Gold hardware fail.

 

[tiger roach]

It looks like it is sneering at my lack of shred.
