Lurking beneath the S521’s graceful 3-D shape is mahogany specifically chosen for S Series instruments. Light enough amaze in terms of comfort, heavy enough to provide the tone and sustain that players expect from the S Series.
Ibanez S521 Electric Guitar Features
Indian rosewood fretboard with jumbo frets
Thin and fast Wizard III neck
Proprietary Quantum pickups
Fixed bridge
As the originators of the thin, fast neck, the Wizard III neck is yet another achievement in playability, providing the kind of comfort that translates to responsiveness and speed. Infinity pickups, along with 5-way switch, were chosen for the inspiring way they complement each other to create a wide pallet of tonal options that add fire, retain clarity, and improve sustain.
The cutting edge of Ibanez design, the S series continues to be a marvel of form and function. Its signature body shape - sculpted, lightweight, and mahogany - is stronger and more musically responsive than guitars weighing twice as much. The S series is still a rock 'n' roll version of a quick, graceful, and potentially lethal weapon.

Sounds insane for how light it is.
I've always been a fan of Ibanez. I was looking to experiment with a thinner guitar. This has to be the lightest, thinnest body and neck profile and one of my best sounding guitars. The cleans are so bright and crystalline. And the bass is so throaty. I'm in love. I'm so happy to have this in my ars...
