Ibanez XPT700 Xiphos Electric Guitar

The Ibanez XPT700 Xiphos is the extreme design we've been waiting for - a neck-thru inferno of tone with Dimarzio humbuckers!
Ever since Ibanez released the Iceman, they have been pushing to produce more radical body styles and different forms of the X & V Designs. The Xiphos' neck-thru body design delivers the ultimate sustain. Its Ibanez Edge III Tremolo delivers maximum performance and tuning stability.


Ibanez has also been working on a new way of painting guitars. The Chameleon finish is an awesome innovation. The paint responds to light and it appears to change color as the guitar moves.

A few words about Ibanez…
Without a doubt Ibanez is one of the world’s foremost guitar manufacturers. The Modern Era of Ibanez guitars began in 1957 and since then they have enjoyed incredible success. They continue to experiment with edgy designs and finishes but have never lost track of their roots. Their amazing Artcore line of hollowbodies are some of the most sought after guitars in the world and their RG line is a must have for rock and metal fans alike. And don’t discount their bass guitars, cherished by musicians the world over. This is a company that can do it all. Straight ahead rock models, elegant hollow bodies and everything in between. They even have a nice line of pedals and accessories that pros and amateurs have grown to love. Find out for yourself why some performers won’t play anything else but Ibanez.

Subject:Metal Mayhem And.....Jazz??????
Quality: As stated before, excellent quality! The guitar is solid and well made and all of the hardware is top notch. It is very pointy though, so be careful that you don't bang into anything or it may get chipped.
Sound: Well, if it doesn't have batteries it doesn't do metal, right? WRONG!!!! I have several other guitars with EMG's and SD Blackouts in them and this one beats them hands down for range of tone and clarity. Don't get me wrong. I like those other pickups but they don't have the organic feel of the D Activators. It's a common misbelief that active pickups are higher output. No, they're not. They just have a VERY tightly focused midrange to them. Larry Dimarzio and Steve Blucher nailed that with these P/U's. Combine that with a mahagony body for warmth and a neck thru maple/walnut neck for the highs and the sustain and you've got an extremely well balanced tone that allows for plenty of clarity in even the highest gain situations. But they also do cleans better than most P/U's I've heard. I get great sounding clean arpeggios on the neck and middle position P/U's and add a little beakup on a clean amp and you've got sweet sweet blues tones.
Reliability: Well, it's made in Indonesia but the quality and craftsmanship on all except my first one were flawless. People knock these guitars because of where they're made, but I think you'd be cheating yourself if that's the sole reason you have for not buying this guitar
Overall: Awesome! I own five of these beasts in various tunings and configurations. The best guitar I've ever owned, at least for what I play and the tone and vibe I chase.
Playability and Feel: This guitar is surprisingly light for it's shape and size. The body sits well when sitting down and playing on either knee. The Wizard II neck is unbelievably fast. I'm a natural lefty who just happens to play right handed guitars so I need all the help I can get and with this guitar my fingers just fly like on no other. The Edge III is solid and stays in tune (people, people, people! Please learn how to setup and tune a floating style locking trem before bashing these!).
Tone: This is a well thought out package. The mahogany-maple-walnut-neckthru construction and the DiMarzios produce any and all tones for almost any musical situation. But let's face it, you ain't gonna see Pat Metheny or George Benson with one of these on stage, although they could. It's meant for METAL and it's meant for SHREDDING and it does those oh-so-well!
Finish: Really cool finishes on the red and red chameleons. The glitter rust FX model is pretty sweet too. Can't vouch for the gray chameleon finish on the XPT707FX 7-string because I don't have one...YET!
Action: I always reset my guitars when I get them, so I don't really care how the action is out of the box. And besides, they've probably been sitting in different warehouses in different climates before they reach your doorstep. If you're spending this much money for a guitar then yo SHOULD be at a level where you know how to do your own setups anyways. If not, then take it to a qualified luthier and let him show you!
