DISC Ibanez S5521 Prestige, Blaze Red Burst

Full Description

Mahogany Body

The guitars body is crafted from mahogany to deliver a warm, soft tone with plenty of bite and grind to keep it well balanced and give it a wonderful amount of depth. Not only does the body lift the upper frequencies whilst remain lightweight, but the profile of the body allows for a more comfortable and smooth play thanks to the gentle roll of the design.

The Super Wizard HP Maple/Walnut Neck

The Ibanez’s neck is crafted from maple and walnut, creating an incredibly bright, smooth tone with and excellent sustain and stability. The addition of KTS titanium rods ensures the neck can take harsh punishment, providing an iron-like strength built for stage life. Although maple and walnut are a naturally smooth wood, the S5521 feature’s Ibanez’s super wizard high performance profile which is designed for shredders. This design is optimised for lead guitarists, as its thin nature helps players perform swift and nimble runs with ease.

Ibanez V7 and V8 Pickups

The S5521 is equipped with two incredibly powerful Ibanez pickups, featuring a V7 humbucker at the neck and a V8 humbucker at the bridge. These pickups have been specially designed for the S Prestige series, optimising the guitar’s gain whilst helping to retain its sharp fierce attack. When combined, the V7 and V8 pickups produce an immense amount of power and tone to match, as well as each pickup featuring optimised gain control to give them a sharp, articulate response. No matter how load the volume is, the S5521Q will still hold onto clarity.

Gibraltar Standard II Bridge

The guitar also features a heavy-duty Gibraltar Standard II bridge, which is designed to maximise the contact between the body and bridge. This designed offers a more efficient transfer of the string vibrations than standard bridges, increasing the guitar’s sustain and resonance. The Gibraltar Standard II bridge also offers solid tuning to keep you strings in check, no matter the playing style.

Gotoh MG-T Locking Tuners

The Ibanez Prestige Guitar is equipped with a set of Gotoh MG-T locking tuners to ensure the guitar stays in tune through the harshest performances. The tuners are designed with incredible stability, offering quick and easy tuning so players can focus more on their playing.
