     If pushing the whammy bar to the limit
     and beyond is part of the guitar voodoo
     that you do, the RG Tremolo may be
     your axe. Now featuring the Edge-Zero II
     tremolo with the zero point system, tuning
     stability is maximized. The Wizard neck,
     flat fingerboard, and jumbo frets are a
     favorite among players with fast fingers.

               Vai   Steve Vai is one of the revered few on that short list of players who
                     have changed the way we all think about what a guitar can really
                     do. His signature Ibanez guitars are no different: iconic, sublime,
                     awe-inspiring, outrageous. The Ibanez JEM/UV series models,
                     including the new JEM70V, are designed to break boundaries.

RG/RGA 7STRING
     Ibanez’s 7-string collaboration with Steve Vai, and its result, the 7-string Universe, marked Ibanez as the
     leader in 7-string guitar building. But it wasn’t until the 90s, and the explosion of the alternative metal
     scene, that the instrument’s possibilities began to be explored by a wide range of players. By the time
     other guitar makers woke up and smelled the 7-string coffee, Ibanez had eaten their lunch. To this day,
     Ibanez is the only guitar maker that can claim decades of 7-string guitar building success.

  • 3. Celebrating 25 Years... A TALE OF TWO CLASSICS Almost every artist follows the same path to mastery: extended periods of concentrated effort spent honing the skillset, often followed by a long period of artistic imitation. This mimicry serves as a foundation on which the artist’s contribution of genius to his field of endeavor will be built. So it is with master instrument builders. In the 70s, Ibanez crafted copies with such intensity and diligence that they often surpassed the quality of the originals. Clearly, Ibanez ranked among the world’s best. The big S1XXV FGR RG1XXV FYE question: could we deliver our own original contribution to • 3pc Wizard III Maple neck • 5pc Wizard Maple/Walnut neck • Mahogany body w/KTS™ TITANIUM Reinforcement the guitar world? • ZR bridge w/ZPS2 • American Basswood body • INF1 (H) neck pu • Edge-Zero II bridge w/ZPS3Fe It didn’t happen easily.

The thin “Wizard” necks are only one of the many innovations that make the RG, the streamlined, no-nonsense all-time favorite of fast players. If the RG is Ibanez’s dragstar, the S series is our classic GT racer. A marvel of form and function; it’s graceful, sculpted, lightweight mahogany body is stronger and more musically responsive than guitars weighing twice as much. So here we are celebrating 25 years. With more and more young players discovering the RG and the S series every day, don’t worry if you can’t celebrate our 25th anniversary with us. Our 50th will be here before you know it. 04 05

  • 12. RG/RGA 7STRING Ibanez’s 7-string collaboration with Steve Vai, and its result, the 7-string Universe, marked Ibanez as the leader in 7-string guitar building. But it wasn’t until the 90s, and the explosion of the alternative metal scene, that the instrument’s possibilities began to be explored by a wide range of players. By the time other guitar makers woke up and smelled the 7-string coffee, Ibanez had eaten their lunch. To this day, Ibanez is the only guitar maker that can claim decades of 7-string guitar building success.
