Ibanez Classic Custom Pickups: Ibanez Classic Custom pickups feature a well-balanced combination of alnico neck and middle single coils and ceramic bridge humbucker, which allows a clear expression of picking nuances.
Locking Machine Heads: Locking machine heads ensure accurate and stable tuning.

dyna-MIX9 Switching System with Alter Switch: The dyna-MIX 9 offers nine sound variations and can switch between humbucker and single coil modes with just a flick of the mini switch. One mode even simulates a humbucking sound from the combination of two single coil pickups.
Super All Access Neck Joint: The Super All Access Neck Joint increases playability and allows for easy access to the higher frets.
