{"product_id":"810205","title":"Ibanez Ikebe 50th Anniversary j-custom IKST50TH Natural SN.A25005","description":"The ultimate S, created to commemorate the 50th anniversary of Ikebe Musical Instruments.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Alongside the RG series, the S series is a flagship Ibanez guitar line. It features a body with a gently arched top and back, molded to be extremely thin. Like the RG series, it has been a beloved instrument for many guitarists on stage since its creation in 1987.\u003cbr\u003e To commemorate the 50th anniversary of Ikebe Musical Instruments, we had a truly wonderful model made for us!\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e ☆Maple \/ Walnut \/ Bubinga 7-piece through-neck (AT shape)☆\u003cbr\u003e Probably the first ever neck-through construction in the S series!!\u003cbr\u003e The neck, constructed from seven pieces of maple, walnut, and bubinga, features a neck-through construction, using the same material from the headstock to the body end.\u003cbr\u003e Because through-neck construction requires much longer pieces of wood compared to a regular neck, and considering the cost, fewer guitars using this technique have been made recently. However, this particular guitar was specially produced to commemorate the 50th anniversary of Ikebe Musical Instruments.\u003cbr\u003e The neck shape is the AT shape, which is one of the thicker neck shapes in Ibanez's solid-body lineup.\u003cbr\u003e By adopting a neck-through construction and finishing it with a thick AT shape, it achieves an extremely rich midrange and sustain despite the thin body shape that is a characteristic of the S series.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e ☆22 frets, ebony fingerboard☆\u003cbr\u003e Following the example of the JCS1 and Classical S models, it features 22 frets. (All current S series models have 24 frets.)\u003cbr\u003e Furthermore, the use of high-quality ebony for the fretboard contributes to a sound with a moderately fast attack.\u003cbr\u003e The frets are made of Jescar FW57110S, which has an appropriate width and height, and the fret edges are custom spherically shaped, which is essential for a smooth playing feel.\u003cbr\u003e The inlay on the fretboard is the \"Tree of Life\" inlay, a staple of the J-Custom series, and is made of two types of shell: abalone and mother-of-pearl.\u003cbr\u003e Combined with the jet-black ebony fretboard, it has a truly beautiful finish.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e ☆Quilted Maple Top \/ African Mahogany Body Wings☆\u003cbr\u003e The S-shaped curved body features a smoothly arched top and back, with the sides molded to be extremely thin.\u003cbr\u003e The body features a neck-through construction with wings on both sides combining beautifully figured quilted maple and African mahogany, resulting in the extremely slim finish unique to the S series.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e ☆DiMarzio Pickup☆\u003cbr\u003e It features DiMarzio pickups in a zebra\/cream color.\u003cbr\u003e Front: DiMarzio Air Norton Zebra Color\u003cbr\u003e Center: DiMarzio Area 67 Cream Color\u003cbr\u003e Rear; DiMarzio Air Zone Zebra Color\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e ☆Edge Tremolo Bridge☆\u003cbr\u003e Featuring a knife-edge pivot structure and a plug-in arm, the Ibanez original tremolo bridge \"Edge\" has been a favorite of Joe Satriani and Steve Vai for over 20 years.\u003cbr\u003e We deliberately omitted the Zero Point System, prioritizing smooth operation and a natural, resonant sound.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e ☆Other☆\u003cbr\u003e The headstock also uses quilted maple, just like the body top.\u003cbr\u003e The Ibanez logo is made of mother-of-pearl.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Due to wood availability and other factors, only six of these rare models will be produced.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Weight ≈ 3.48 kg\u003cbr\u003e Includes wood hard case (W150S) and certificate of authenticity.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eSPEC\u003cbr\u003e Body Wing Material: Quilted Maple Top \/ African Mahogany Back\u003cbr\u003e Neck Materials: Maple \/ Walnut \/ Bubinga 7pcs, Neck Thrue the Body\u003cbr\u003e Neck Shape: AT 20.8mm＊23.0mm @ 1F＊12F\u003cbr\u003e Scale: 25.5 inches\/648 mm, 22 frets\u003cbr\u003e Width @ Nut\/Last Fret : 43.0mm at nut\/56.0mm at22F\u003cbr\u003e Thickness: 20.8mm at 1F\/23.0mm at 12F\u003cbr\u003e Radius: 430mmR\u003cbr\u003e Fingerboard: Ebony\u003cbr\u003e Fret Wire: Jescar FW57110S\u003cbr\u003e Position Inlays: TREE OF LIFE 2006\u003cbr\u003e Neck Pickup: DiMarzio\/Air Norton\u003cbr\u003e Middle PU: DiMarzio\/Area '67\u003cbr\u003e Bridge PU: DiMarzio\/Air Zone\u003cbr\u003e Bridge: Edge\u003cbr\u003e HW Color: Gold","brand":"Ibanez","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44319676268657,"sku":"810205","price":9012.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0638\/4173\/0673\/files\/810205_01.jpg?v=1787641397","url":"https:\/\/global.ikebe-gakki.com\/zh-hant\/products\/810205","provider":"Ikebe Musical Instruments Store","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
