Ibanez DTT700 Destroyer Electric GuitarA member of Ibanez’ X Family of guitars, the Ibanez DTT700 Destroyer Electric Guitar is a guitar with a unique sound and look.
The 5 piece Maple/ Walnut Wizard II thru-neck increases playability, tone and sustain and the guitar features pearl/abalone block inlays, cosmic black hardware and 2 snarling DiMarzio D Activator X pickups. This is the guitar needed to rock hard and look good while doing it.
DiMarzio D Activator X Bridge and Neck Pickups
Designed to eliminate the sterile edginess commonly associated with high-output, active pickups and features an enriched harmonic quality.

| An awesome heavy shred monster!!!! |
| Quality |
| Would you consider this product to be made well? How dependable? |
| I have 3 Ibanez indonesian made guitars: 2 RG6EXFX w/ EMGs and Wizard II neckthru and the Destroyer. One of the RGs had a few deficiencies and was not worth keeping, but this one is as good as any Japanese made guitar. It doesn't come with a case, so you will need the DTT100C case for it. I ordered both from AMS. |
| Reliability |
| How has it stood up over time? |
| Only had it for 2 months, but I play it for 2 hours every day. It has a great finish that cleans up really nice with a little polish. |
| Overall |
| Your general opinion of this product. |
| This is by far the best Destroyer model ever made. I am a Jackson Kelly USA fan though and through, but half the price, the Destroyer is the best Explorer body style on the market in terms of value for price. The inlays are to die for and the DiMarzio D Activator X pickups are awesome at just about every style of music from shred to clean. The Wizard II neckthru is awesome for sustain, but for a metal guitar, 24 frets is needed. Recommend this guitar if you play a lot of Drop D or Drop C tunings because then you have no need of the 24th fret. |
| Playability and Feel |
| How does it feel, Heavy, Fast, Chunky? How was the neck? Are the controls easy to get to while playing? |
| It is heavier than an RG or Stat body style. If you like Explorer/Kelly style guitars, you know what I am talking about. Once again, the Wizard II neck thru is awesome, I do not like bolt on necks. I think one volume and one tone would have been a better setup for this guitar. This is a definite drawback and the reason why I waited 6 months before buying this guitar. I absolutely do not like individual volume controls for each pickup, a master volume and tone is definitely better. Taking this into consideration, the Destroyer's crowning glories definitely outweigh this sole deficiency. |
| Tone |
| Bright and snappy? Dark and smooth? Were the pickups hot, mellow, thick, thin? |
| The DiMarzio D Activator X pickups are the clear MVPs here. I have played guitar for 20 years and these are by far the best passive pickups available on the market. They are as strong, better sounding and less noise than EMG 81/85s and have more tonal character than Seymour Duncan Blackouts. I would definitely recommend these pickups to anyone. |
| Finish |
| How did the stain or paint job look? |
| The paint job is even more beautiful than the picture suggests. The back of the guitar is solid black, while the headstock and body are metallic silverburst fade to black. This is really a beautiful guitar. |
| Action |
| How was the action out of the box? |
| The action was a bit high, but a couple of quick turns on the Gibraltar fixed it immediately. The Gibralter bridge is the best fixed bridge available (tone pros suck in my opinion!)with only one downside: individual string heights adjustments are not possible, but the neck and fret board were straight so I didn't need it. I think Ibanez would have a winner if they would make a 24 fret version of the same Destroyer equipped with an Edge III or zero tremolo system. |

| Ibanez Destroyer Silverburst |
| Quality |
| Would you consider this product to be made well? How dependable? |
| Body is awesome. Ibanez always comes short on electronics though. Loose pots and input had to be adjusted. |
| Reliability |
| How has it stood up over time? |
| Only had it for a week. Can't really say. |
| Overall |
| Your general opinion of this product. |
| I really like this guitar. Mainly because I've always wanted and explorer and I love silverburst finishes. As I've said earlier, unless you are buying a Prestige, don't expect great soldering on your electronics. I play Ibanez exclusively so I'm not trying to knock the brand. It's just the truth. |
| Playability and Feel |
| How does it feel, Heavy, Fast, Chunky? How was the neck? Are the controls easy to get to while playing? |
| This guitar was much heavier than I thought it would be. It's the HEAVIEST Ibanez I've ever played. That's not a bad thing though. Weighs as much or more than a Gibson Explorer. The setup was awesome, though this strings that came with it are too small for my personal preference. Plays like a dream. Smooth and no dead spots. |
| Tone |
| Bright and snappy? Dark and smooth? Were the pickups hot, mellow, thick, thin? |
| I think abrasive would be the right word here as far as the bridge pick up goes. Not warm at all, but the Dimarzio's in it aren't built to be warm either. The neck pickup suprised me though. Awesome clean and lead tone. I will probably get a different bridge bucker unless it grows on me in the next few weeks. Gets squeals like a stuck pig! |
| Finish |
| How did the stain or paint job look? |
| Finish was great. Very "sparkly". Not transparent at all. Matching headstock :). Lots of chrome. Very sharp looking IMO. Can't believe I have a silverburst explorer. Been a long time waiting. |
| Action |
| How was the action out of the box? |
| Perfect. |
