The Ibanez S Series is a luxury model for the hard-rock, metal and virtuoso scenes, with sumptuous yet slim contouring, big and powerful pick-ups, a quick-as-anything neck/fingerboard design and the stability of a Floyd Rose bridge.

They are capable of keeping pace with even the most incendiary player, and also offer a great deal tonally – typically packing H/S/H set-ups and also often complimented well by active circuitry. The finishes of course range from the subtle and quietly professional to the bombastic and garish, often including fantastic translucent flame maple finishes en route.

If you want to look the business on stage and gain mobility from the thin and light design whilst being fully in control for breakneck playing, then the Ibanez S Series is a serious contender.
