• Rosewood fretboard provides a well-balanced solid tone with a focused mid range.
• Medium sized frets enhance the accuracy of your notes.
• The Okoume body provides a bright and solid sound.
• Nordstrand™ ”Big Break” pickups cram a meaty split coil into a soapbar-style pickup, producing a full-bodied, powerful, aggressive tonal texture, while still retaining the clarity that's characteristic of single coil tone with noiseless performance.
• The Ibanez Custom Electronics 3-band EQ is our 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.
