Ibanez Premium LM10-MGR (Mint Green) [Luca Mantovanelli Model] 【Made to Order】

Luca Mantovanelli New Signature Model!!

Luca Mantovanelli's new signature model is here!!

Born in 1983 into a musical family in Italy, Luca Mantovanelli displayed natural talent from a young age, beginning with drums, bass, and wind instruments before dedicating himself to electric guitar. Initially self-taught, he later studied under Adriano Guarino and Marco Sfogli, and also learned classical guitar from Antonio De Innocentis.

Furthermore, he was influenced by and absorbed the styles of many musicians such as Biréli Raglin, Pat Martino, Robben Ford, Frank Gambale, Eddie Van Halen, Michael Brecker, Oscar Peterson, and Gary Burton, which fostered his astonishing versatility.

His subsequent participation in the 900 Big Band opened the door to jazz performance, and he has collaborated with Massimo Morricone, Silvia Pani, and others. In 2011, he performed with Mike Stern and Jeff Berlin at the FB Jazz Festival held in San Giovanni Teatino, further solidifying his reputation as a guitarist proficient in both rock and jazz. He also works as a genre-less guitar instructor on the online lesson site JamTrackCentral.com.


◆Ebony fretboard
with Stainless Frets
It features ebony wood, which is characterized by its quick attack and rich sustain.
It features stainless steel frets, which offer excellent maintainability, a quick attack, good note separation when playing chords, and a clear sound when playing individual notes.
It features a jumbo size, which allows for light touch fingering and is excellent for playing fast passages and smooth bending.
Furthermore, it features highly visible phosphorescent side-dot position markers that can adapt to rapidly changing performance environments due to lighting and other factors.

◆AZ Oval C Roasted Maple neck
The neck is made of heat-treated maple wood.
Heat treatment provides benefits such as shape stability, resistance to warping, water resistance, and resistance to temperature changes.
After several prototypes and tests, we concluded that a neck thickness of 20.5*22.5 (at 1F*12F) is the best.
The back of the neck has a satin finish, ensuring a smooth playing experience.
Regarding the neck shape, it's an original design that was perfected after measuring and analyzing dozens of guitar neck grips, both from our own company and other manufacturers.
This comfort grip features a smooth, rounded shape from the joint between the fretboard and neck down to the fretboard edge.
The shape is precisely reproduced using ball milling.
The shape is designed with particular consideration for ease of gripping in the lower fret area and for classical style playability with the thumb placed on the back of the neck in the higher fret area.

◆An ergonomic body back contour
This is an original body shape designed with a contemporary aesthetic in mind.
The thin body contour and large elbow contour create a sense of unity between the player and the guitar, greatly contributing to improved playability. The deeper waist of the body also improves handling when held and on stage, resulting in superior playability. The different radius of the corners on the front and back of the body create an ergonomic design that feels comfortable the moment you pick up the guitar, whether sitting or standing.

◆Super All Access Neck Joint
The Super All Access neck joint features a stepped carving on the back of the body with an 8mm height difference, and the neck joint is finished with a spherical surface to achieve superior playability.
The cutaway on the bass string side is designed to be shallower, maximizing the contact area between the body and neck. This achieves both high playability and excellent sustain and resonance.

◆Seymour Duncan Fortuna pickups
Compared to the Hyperion, which was co-developed with Seymour Duncan specifically for the AZ series, the Fortuna pickup was developed to provide an even more natural clean tone that can handle a wider range of genres, and to allow for easier expression of playing nuances. It is a medium-output pickup that also takes into consideration compatibility with various pedal effects that can be used depending on the situation.

◆Gotoh T1502 tremolo bridge with Steel saddles 10.5mm string spacing Snap and hold arm socket
The GOTOH 510 bridge, widely regarded by many players and brands as the definitive tremolo bridge, has been reborn through a collaboration between Ibanez and GOTOH.
Featuring steel saddles and a zinc die-cast inertia block for quick response and a tight sound, this guitar also boasts excellent note separation during chord work.
The string spacing is a narrow 10.5mm, designed to make it easier to pick across strings, a feature demanded by players who frequently use string skipping and hybrid picking.
Furthermore, it features an arm socket that allows the use of the Ibanez Edge tremolo arm and the Ultra Light Tremolo Arm (carbon fiber/UTA20/sold separately).
Unlike conventional tonearms that require twisting, this tonearm can be attached with a snap-in mechanism. It also features an arm torque adjustment mechanism that allows players to fix or release the arm angle according to their preference.
In addition, it comes standard with a stud lock mechanism that firmly secures the studs with grub screws embedded in them, greatly contributing to tuning stability and resonance.
It employs a two-point floating support system that allows for smooth arming and arm-up movements.

Recycled
The top surface of the body has been recessed to allow for smooth tremolo arming.

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

◆Graph Tech tu
It features a Graph Tech nut, which boasts smooth tuning stability. It achieves both a clear sound and excellent sustain.
