Ibanez Axe Design Lab SML721-RGC

S-Shape Multi-Right-Angled Scale 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.

- RGC (Rose Gold Chameleon) gloss finish body color that changes color depending on the viewing angle.

- Jumbo-sized JESCAR EVOgold frets: Features JESCAR EVOgold frets, an alloy made of copper, tin, iron, and titanium.
In addition to its gorgeous gold appearance, it features a brighter tone and higher durability compared to nickel-silver frets.

- 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 bass is powerful and clear, while the treble is 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 technique is employed that taps one coil while enhancing the low-frequency range 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.

- The monorail bridge features an independent structure for each string, directly transmitting string vibrations to the body and 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.

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

◆What is "Axe Design Lab"?...
The reason Ibanez remains committed to being "innovative," "cutting-edge," and "pioneering" 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 inevitably experiences hardship, worries, and sometimes hits a major wall. Ibanez aspires to be a "solution-oriented" gear that stands by and supports all challengers known as players, helping them overcome these challenges together.
To achieve this, we are willing to create cutting-edge guitars that are exciting, unconventional, and sometimes even considered unbalanced—guitars that no one could have predicted.
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.
