The Okoume body provides a bright and solid sound. The 5pc Jatoba/Walnut neck provides tonal clarity and superior attack. Rosewood fretboard provides a well-balanced solid tone with a focused mid range. The multi scale construction equalizes tension of each string and it helps to create a more ”alive”, open tone.

The Bartolini BH2 pickups provide a tight bottom-end, punchy mid-range, and smooth response. The dual-coil style configuration maximizes articulation and a long blade pole piece widens the magnetic field, providing balanced string-to-string pickup response. The Ibanez Custom Electronics 3-band EQ is latest refinement on the concept of simple, straightforward, no-nonsense EQ control. The Boost and Cut for the Mid Control are each centered on slightly different frequencies, an innovation that delivers a preset range of the most favorable bass tones. The EQ bypass control offers precision tonal adjustments, including a switch to choose passive-only operation. When the EQ bypass is activated, the treble tone control knob becomes the global tone control for the passive circuit. Designed for both stability and sustain, the innovative Ibanez Mono-Rail bridge minimizes cross-talk between strings.
