From classic rock to deathcore, the S series knows no boundaries. The S Premium is the answer to the working player's prayers, whether dressed au naturale in an exotic wood grain, or dressed to impress in basic black. Super-smooth fret edges are produced by a hand-crimping technique, usually only found on much more expensive instruments. No friction points make the ZPS the smoothest Ibanez Back Stop ever.
An additional outer pair of springs provides easier tuning and better tuning stability than the traditional floating tremolo-plus the other strings will remain in tune if a string breaks. Gigbag included.

Ibanez's 7-string collaboration with Steve Vai, and its result, the 7-string Universe, marked Ibanez as the leader in 7-string guitar building. But it wasn't until the 90s, and the explosion of the alternative metal scene, that the instrument's possibilities began to be explored by a wide range of players. By the time other guitar makers woke up and smelled the 7-string coffee, Ibanez had eaten their lunch. To this day, Ibanez is the only guitar maker that can claim decades of 7-string guitar building success. Besides lightening the weight of the body, this bold horn cut provides full, comfortable access to the higher frets. The taper of these horns greatly improves player comfort at the upper end up the fretboard. These beveled edges are another of the many innovations that have come out of our relationships with Ibanez artists. Pickup magnet strength plays a crucial role in pickups designed specifically for down-tuning. Maximizing the vibration of heavy strings depends on proper selection of the pickup's magnet. Additionally, care has been taken to ensure that the output at the neck is perfectly balanced with high output at the bridge. The Gibraltar Standard is a simple fixed bridge that was designed to adhere firmly to the guitar body and make good transfer of the string vibrations. It is also incredibly smooth for maximum playing comfort.
RGD is Ibanez's ultimate metal machine. The demands of down-tuning require a specifically designed responsiveness not found in "normal" guitars. To optimize for the rich, desirable thickness of tone that down-tuning produces, we extended the neck by one inch, to a 26.5" scale -longer-than-standard, yet not overly long- still sized as a "fast" neck for speed soloing. Comfortable access to the neck's highest notes are accomplished by extra-deep cutaways. Ibanez's thin, flat, and fast, yet strong and sturdy, Wizard neck offers unlimited playability for demanding players, and features a two-octave 24-fret fret board for wide tonal range.
