Ibanez LB1-VL [Lari Basilio Signature Model]

Lari Basilio signature model LB1 now in stock!!

Lari Basilio is a guitarist from São Paulo, Brazil.
Having started playing guitar at the age of eight, Lari is one of the most noteworthy new-generation guitarists, rapidly gaining support within the guitar community thanks to her exceptional technique and songwriting talent.

In 2019, he released his own original album, "Far More," in which he collaborated with Joe Satriani. He also invited legendary musicians such as Siedah Garrett, Vinnie Colaiuta, Nathan East, and Greg Phillinganes as guests, creating soulful tracks.

Lari is a truly borderless player who expresses herself richly through music, ranging from technical yet melodic, heavy rock sounds to delicate clean tones, and even music from her native Brazil, which is her roots.

Ibanez and Lari created the LB1 signature model based on the AZS series.
From the violet finish, which could be considered Lari's signature color, to the newly developed pickups specifically for the LB1 and the compound radius fingerboard, the attention to detail evident throughout will undoubtedly expand the possibilities and expressive capabilities of not only Lari but also any guitarist who picks up an LB1.


■Single-Cut AZS Body
Despite being a single-cutaway guitar, it features an original body shape designed for both comfort and a contemporary look. The elbow contour and thinly finished body contour create a sense of unity between the player and the guitar, greatly contributing to improved playability. The deep waist of the body also makes it easy to hold and handle on stage, resulting in high playability. Whether sitting or standing, the ergonomic design provides a comfortable fit the moment you pick up the guitar.

■Seymour Duncan Lari Basilio pickups
The LB1 is equipped with Seymour Duncan pickups developed specifically for it. While each pickup has its own unique character, the development process emphasized creating an exquisite combination of these pickups.
The neck pickup features a mix of Alnico 5 and Alnico 4 magnets for a distinctive vintage tone, while the middle pickup uses a mix of Alnico 5 and Alnico 2 magnets, expanding the tonal options while also achieving a unique appearance.
The bridge humbucker features an Alnico 5 magnet and boasts a versatile and well-balanced voicing that emphasizes attack and clarity across a wide range of tones, from clean to high-gain. Versatility is essential to the sound Lari aims for, and these pickups help achieve that.

■Gotoh T1702B tremolo bridge
It features a T1702B tremolo bridge with brass saddles and inertia block, which are characterized by a warm, bright tone and excellent resonance.
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.

■dyna-MIX9 switching system with Alter Switch
With a single flick of the mini-switch, you can freely switch between humbucker and single-coil modes, achieving a wide variety of sounds.
The LB1 creates nine different sounds, including one that simulates a 22-fret neck humbucker by wiring the neck and center single-coil pickups in series.

■Jumbo Stainless Steel frets with Prestige fret edge treatment
The frets are made of stainless steel with a crown height of 2.7mm and a width of 1.4mm, and a hardness of 220.
It boasts excellent maintainability and features such as a fast attack, clear note separation when playing chords, and a clear sound when playing individual notes.

■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.
