Ibanez electric guitars are monumental achievers and colorful characters, and the models throughout the lineup never settle for ordinary. Simply put, this is one of the most diverse collections of instruments out there! Six-string soildbody electrics, powerhouse metal guitars with seven, eight, and even nine strings, and special signature models all incorporate striking designs, eye-catching finishes, and setups that bring their own styles to your hands. Many of the world’s best guitarists swear by Ibanez and we’re ready to highlight all of the incredible groups of electric guitars that make up the Ibanez family!
There are plenty of variations and Ibanez is loaded with options to suit your exact needs. Pickup combinations/configurations, the number of strings, the type of headstock, the option for a deluxe wood top (flame maple as an example), and fingerboards made of different woods are some of the options you can specify. So, for example. . . when you’re looking at an Ibanez RG Prestige, that is an ‘RG’ model in the ‘Prestige’ series.
Let’s start your search by model, which sets apart the guitars based on physical body shape, overall build design, and general playing feel.
Ibanez RG guitars, widely known as “Roadstar Guitars,” have been cornerstones in the world of hard rock, metal, and shred for over thirty years. An RG has everything that a guitarist needs to go fast and tackle some of the most demanding music out there - a thinner, more accessible neck with a slightly flatter radius profile on the fingerboard, a Superstrat-style deep double-cutaway body that improves access to the higher frets, and a choice of fixed bridge or precision locking tremolo system.
The Ibanez RGA lineup maintains the essential core functionality of RG instruments, but also adds an elegantly contoured arch top to the overall body design. RGA guitars will feel a bit more substantial in your hands in terms of both width and weight compared to the RG.
Ibanez RGD guitars also draw from the RG, but instead have chosen to take a turn down an even more menacing path. Metal guitarists who experiment with alternate tunings and drop tunings will love the RGD’s longer neck scale of 26.5” inches.
Next up are the Ibanez S and SA guitars. Also known as “Saber” guitars, the Ibanez S were originally introduced around the same time as the RG back in 1987. These instruments sport a leaner, more lightweight mahogany body along with an ultra-slim ‘Wizard’ neck. Agility and effortless balance are the calling cards of the S lineup – you’ll enjoy the serious crunch and response that goes hand-in-hand with other guitars at twice the weight. The Ibanez SA adds the arch top and the flat back design to the S mahogany body, while also sporting the fresh SSH (single-single-humbucker) pickup configuration and synchronized tremolo.
Ibanez AZ draws from the company’s rich history of guitar building to bring the freshest of takes to a tried-and-true design form. A first-of-its-kind roasted maple neck with oval grip, Seymour Duncan Hyperion pickups, and the intensive switching system and its huge library of tonal colors make the AZ a force to be reckoned with.
Ibanez always takes the time to explore all new possibilities and take everything that a guitar player experiences into account. The straight-ahead, price-friendly Ibanez AX guitars are heavy-duty instruments that are ready to get right to work.
Next, let’s search by production series – each is based on a number of factors, including country of build origin, use of specific materials, amounts of extra custom work, and feature sets geared toward various types of guitar player.
Made in Japan by some of the most highly trained and experienced luthiers in the entire world, Ibanez J Custom guitars are balanced machines in terms of modern tech, design tradition, and unparalleled artistry. So, what’s the formula that goes into building these rockstar instruments? Well, they start by using only the best woods for the body, neck, and fingerboard, add the most sturdy and roadworthy hardware components, and then carefully select and configure the best pickups for the job. Next, it’s about putting in plenty of extra time to incorporate fine finish work and add extra visual appointments of the highest magnitude. Ibanez J Custom is tone, playability, and magnificence taken to whole new level.
When you pick up and play a Japanese-made Ibanez Prestige guitar, you’ll quickly notice that everything is in its right place. Sonic performance and playing comfort have been prioritized above all else and there are no unnecessary elements getting in your way. That means that each and every aspect of the final design represents the highest quality with no details overlooked. Time-tested craftsmanship, unmatched consistency, and components that never take even a second off – these are the characteristics that make these instruments worthy of the ‘Prestige’ name and why Ibanez Prestige guitars serve as the choice of professionals around the world.
Are you in search of a fully professional guitar that ranks leagues above its price point? These Ibanez Premium guitars would like a moment of your time! Designed to inspire and made to handle the rigors of any performance situation day-after-day without skipping a beat, an Ibanez Premium is all about the musical journey. Right from the very first chord you’ll be treated to the stability, tonal consistency, and pure energy that you’ve been looking for in an electric guitar.
Picture for a moment that you’re flipping through an Ibanez catalog from 1987 and your eyes are drawn to the newly released RG models. Well, the made-in-Japan Ibanez Genesis guitars take you right back to the beginning with a fresh collection that embodies everything those statement-making instruments had to offer. From glam to shred and all points in-between, everything from the bright finish colors to the HSH (humbucker-single-humbucker) pickup configurations is just as it once was!
Metal has always been the inspiration for Ibanez Axion guitars, but that is just the start! Get ready to venture down some roads that will take your creative output in new directions. If you’re exploring a genre that’s a bit off the beaten path or are looking to combine a couple into something new, then an Axion Label axe is just what you need to find your voice. Ibanez Axion guitars go in new directions with their pickup layouts and go bold with their color schemes, so only those seeking to break new ground need apply!
What is Ibanez Iron Label? It’s metal to the core! To shred with the best of them you need a guitar that can really move and still dial up menacing heavy tones. Iron Label instruments include thin, hyper-agile Nitro Wizard necks, jumbo frets, and American-made EMG or DiMarzio pickups. That about covers the commanding tonal side of things, but don’t think for an instant that Ibanez forgot about the visual side. Their intense designs all rock and these Iron Label guitars are just the thing for any ambitious player!
The Ibanez Standard guitar lineup covers the largest range of finish colors, body styles, and configurations in the Ibanez solid body family. These hard-charging instruments also bring a collection of feature sets to you at the best prices. Your standard 6-strings - plus 7-string, 8-string, and multi-scale configurations with their extra range and playing possibilities - can be yours for less than you ever thought possible! Work hard, play hard – that’s what you get with Ibanez Standard.
Ibanez Gio guitars have been made specifically to bring the entire Ibanez platform to you at a more affordable price point. There are tons of possibilities involving Ibanez Gio - a first instrument for a beginner of any age, an extra instrument to have in the studio, something to take with you when travelling to inspire creativity, the list goes on! If a young rocker is interested in learning electric guitar, you should be sure to check out the Ibanez Mikro lineup – these smaller scale instruments are incredibly zippy and lightweight, while maintaining the same pickup configurations and overall setup as their full-size Gio counterparts.
We’ve touched on their popular solidbody electrics, but the Ibanez lineup wouldn’t be complete without highlighting their hollowbody and semi-hollowbody guitars. American Musical Supply has a vast collection of these instruments, including the AS (traditional semi-hollow with center block), AF (traditional full hollow), AG (slightly smaller scale full hollow), AM (smaller version of the original ‘80s Ibanez design), and the AFS (thinner version of AF) body styles.
The Ibanez Artcore Series extends to cover the hollow or semi-hollow body styles that they offer, all available at incredible prices! If you’re looking to add the special feel, tonal colors, and distinctive build layout to your guitar collection, an Ibanez Artcore instrument is a wonderful value and should definitely be on your list.
You’d be hard-pressed to find a guitar company with Artist Signature instruments as varied and unique as Ibanez. What started with Steve Vai and the trendsetting JEM models has expanded into a high-flying roster of virtuosos spanning numerous genres. Nita Strauss, Paul Stanley, George Benson, Joe Satriani, and John Scofield are just a sampling of the big names on the list.
The Ibanez Signature Guitar family is like a very exclusive party and you’re on the guest list! These instruments are the result of careful collaborations between these hard-working pros and the talented minds at Ibanez – when their choices meet your playing, everyone will be treated to a unique combination of tone and style.
