Product Features

Okoume back and sides

Ibanez T-bar Under-saddle pickup
The Ibanez T-bar Under-saddle pickup accurately translates that full sound to whatever amplification system you plug it into.

Ibanez AEQ-TP2 preamp w/Onboard tuner
The Ibanez AEQ-TP2 preamp provides the extra punch of on-board EQ along with a convenient and easy-to-read digital tuner and 3-band EQ, located on the instrument’s upper bout.

Ovangkol bridge
The Ovangkol bridge transfers string vibration directly to the body, delivering a natural and warm tone.

Ibanez Advantage™ bridge pins
These pins really are an advantage over old-fashioned pins. Advantage™ pins are easier to take out and easier to put in than standard pins. A special bulb-shaped end makes the pin easy to grip and also prevents the pin from being pushed in too far. Best of all, with Advantage™ the pin and string stay put.
