Ibanez Ax Design Lab SML721-MAM (Midnight Arctic Ocean Matte) [SPOT MODEL]

Ax Design Lab / S Multi Light angled Scale New Color!!

S-Shape Multi-Right-Angled Scale New Color Model

◆25.5-25.0 Multi-Right-Angled Scale
The 6th string (Low-E string) has a 25.5-inch scale length, the same as many Ibanez guitars, but the 1st string (High-E string) has a slightly shorter scale length of 25.0 inches.
This combination allows the bass strings to retain their tension and punchy low-end sound, while the treble strings have slightly less tension, resulting in a lighter feel when touching or bending the strings, further enhancing playability.
Furthermore, because the nut is perpendicular to the strings, it's possible to play chords in the lower positions without any discomfort, just like on a regular guitar.

◆The MAM (Midnight Arctic Ocean Matte) matte finish body color has a calm texture, yet the blue metallic burst makes it stand out.

◆Jumbo size / Stainless steel frets offer excellent maintenance, quick attack, clear note separation when playing chords, and a clear sound when playing single notes.

◆ The "Q58" pickup is designed to provide a well-balanced sound across all frequencies, making it easy to shape your sound with effects pedals and other equipment.
The low frequencies are powerful and clear, while the high frequencies are clear yet mellow. Furthermore, its low noise makes it perfectly compatible with both digital and analog effects pedals.

◆dyna-MIX10 Switching System with Alter Switch
With a single flick of a mini-switch, you can easily switch between humbucker and single-coil modes, offering 10 different sound variations.
In Power Tap mode, a special wiring system taps one coil while enhancing the low frequencies of the other coil, resulting in a clear high-frequency range and a thick, well-defined sound that cannot be achieved with simple tapping. This switching system is ideal for modern guitar players who need to perform multiple roles with limited equipment.

◆Monorail Bridge: By creating an independent structure for each string, string vibrations are transmitted directly to the body, resulting in a natural body resonance and rich harmonics.
This bridge offers a wide range of fore-aft adjustment for the saddle, providing a broad setup range.

◆Gotoh MG-T Locking Machine Heads: Equipped with Gotoh MG-T locking machine heads, known for their ease of string changes and excellent tuning stability.
The design allows you to easily lock the strings through the post holes by turning a dial with your finger.

【Axe Design Lab】
The reason why Ibanez continues to be committed to being "innovative," "cutting-edge," and "pioneering."
This is because Ibanez has made it its mission to "maximize the creativity and performance of players of each era."

Regardless of skill level or years of experience, every player will inevitably experience hardship, struggles, and sometimes hit major roadblocks.
Ibanez aspires to be a "solution-oriented" gear that stands by and supports all challengers, the players, and helps them overcome those challenges together.

To achieve this, we are willing to create cutting-edge guitars that are exciting, unconventional, and defy common sense—guitars that no one could have predicted, and that are sometimes even considered unbalanced.

It's all for the players and their music who are living in the present.

Axe Design Lab is a new series that embodies Ibanez's brand identity.
