Contents The cover of this 2012 catalog is our story in a nutshell.It’s a monument to the many, many passionate musicians, from headliners to rabid gear enthusiasts, who have influenced our work and our art of guitar building.
While some guitar companies devote themselves to reveling in the glory of past accomplishments, we prefer to celebrate those victories by honoring the spirit that gave birth to those great guitars of yesteryear, and continue to envision, design, and build what will be for tomorrow’s emerging icons of the guitar.
Anyone can see that we make some pretty amazing looking guitars. But it takes a guitarist to pick one up and actually feel the years of constant, restless improvement that makes an Ibanez.
You have always been, and continue to be, our biggest influence. And for that, we offer our deepest thanks.
Thinking Back, But Looking Forward…

Celebrating 25 Years... A TALE OF TWO CLASSICS Almost every artist follows the same path to mastery: extended periods of concentrated effort spent honing the skillset, often followed by a long period of artistic imitation. This mimicry serves as a foundation on which the artist’s contribution of genius to his field of endeavor will be built.
So it is with master instrument builders. In the 70s, Ibanez crafted copies with such intensity and diligence that they often surpassed the quality of the originals.
Clearly, Ibanez ranked among the world’s best. The big question: could we deliver our own original contribution to the guitar world?
It didn’t happen easily. Or overnight. But in 1987, Ibanez created not one, but two guitars that would join the modern musical instrument pantheon.
Developed first as the Roadstar, the fully “Ibanezed” pedal-to-the-metal RG is known throughout the rock and metal world as a full-bore performer. The thin “Wizard” necks are only one of the many innovations that make the RG, the streamlined, no-nonsense all-time favorite of fast players.
If the RG is Ibanez’s dragstar, the S series is our classic GT racer. A marvel of form and function; it’s graceful, sculpted, lightweight mahogany body is stronger and more musically responsive than guitars weighing twice as much.
So here we are celebrating 25 years. With more and more young players discovering the RG and the S series every day, don’t worry if you can’t celebrate our 25th anniversary with us. Our 50th will be here before you know it.

The RG is the most recognizable and distinctive guitar in the Ibanez line. Three decades of metal have forged this high-performance machine, honing it for both speed and strength. Whether you favor a hardtail (fixed) bridge or our industry-leading locking tremolo system, the RG is a precision instrument.
The new Tight-End R Bridge was designed specifically for the RG flat top. A marked improvement over the conventional fixed bridge, the Tight-End R delivers both playability and rock-solid stability. Saddles firmly locked onto the base plate maximize string vibration transmitted to the body. The smooth bridge surface protects the strumming hand no matter how aggressively you play. Simple saddle height and intonation adjustments ensure accurate set-up.
Tight-End R Bridge
The RG2620ZE is equipped with an EMG® 60/81 pickup combination.
EMG® PickupsThe RG3000s feature the DiMarzio® Tone Zone® in the bridge position, True Velvet™ in the middle position, and the Air Norton™ in the neck position.
DiMarzio® Pickups
The incomparable accuracy of Edge-Zero knife-edge is tremolo technology at its best. The bridge’s profile is smooth and clear of obstruction. The specially designed arm socket eliminates wobble from the action, while providing full control over the arm’s torque. The addition of two lightweight Duralumin outer springs acts as a counter-balance that makes the tuning process easier and enhances tuning stability. Even a broken string won’t throw this unit out of tune. Prefer a full floating tremolo setup? Simply remove the stop bar.

The Zero Point System in the Edge-Zero II makes tuning easier and faster as well as providing stable tuning for long performances, all while maintaining smooth tremolo playing. Engineered to remove all points of friction, ZPS is the smoothest Ibanez Back Stop ever. Even when a string breaks loss of tuning is minimized. For players that prefer a full floating system, simply remove the stop bar. The innovative use of an additional outer pair of springs provides easier tuning and noticeably greater tuning stability than the traditional floating tremolo.

The RG Premium’s capacity to deliver a wide variety of sonic personalities is due in no small part to the newly developed CAP-VM1, VM1S and VM2 pickups. The addition of an OFC coil minimizes sound loss. Dial in anything from clean-and-clear to the edgiest layered distortion—the sound will be nothing less than bold.
CAP-VM1/VM1S/VM2
Built with the hardworking pro in mind, the RG Premium is recognized as the ultimate workhorse guitar for the gigging player. Whether equipped with the new Tight-End R fixed bridge, or the Ibanez Edge-Zero II tremolo with ZPS, Ibanez has engineered perfect tuning stability and playing comfort. Designed especially for the RG, the CAP-VM pickups offer a wealth of sonic possibilities.

If pushing the whammy bar to the limit and beyond is part of the guitar voodoo that you do, the RG Tremolo may be your axe. Now featuring the Edge-Zero II tremolo with the zero point system, tuning stability is maximized. The Wizard neck, flat fingerboard, and jumbo frets are a favorite among players with fast fingers.
The Gibraltar Standard is a simple fixed bridge that was designed to unify with the guitar’s body and provide optimal transfer of each string’s vibration. Smooth surface is designed to maximize 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.
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.
Scoop Cut
The V7/V8 Custom pickups on RGD Prestige models were specially designed to capture the low-end of down-tuned frequencies, and deliver layers of complementary harmonic nuances.
V7/V8 Custom Pickups
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.

RGAAdd 3-D curves to the concept of the RG and you’ve got the RGA. Its dimensionality is easy on the eye—but, more importantly, those curves enhance playability. The arched top design effectively positions the strumming/picking hand optimally for anything from a fast riffing to fat, full power chords.
RGA Features-CAP-LZ10/20 Active Pickups
The Ibanez original CAP-LZ10/20 active pickups deliver an aggressive tone, while minimizing the noise, even when played with a high gain setting. The CAP-LZ pickups cover very wide range, and offer powerful, rich mid-tones.
CAP-LZ 10/20The RGA420Z also utilizes a scoop cut on the back of the horns. This feature provides maximum access and playability at higher frets without degrading the fat tone players can achieve with an arched top. This unique shape was developed by gathering opinions from numerous Ibanez artists.
Special Horn Cut (RGA420Z)
Specially designed the fat sounding CAP-LZ 10/20 pickups, the output is controlled by an active circuit to provide pure, noise-free tone.

Whether we’re talking rock ‘n’ roll, heavy metal, or about the ever-growing global community of djent, the bottom line has always been power. The artists that we’ve had the honor to work with aspire to move mountains. They build on our ideas and we build on theirs. Seven strings, and then eight strings—each innovative step towards creation of musical weaponry that can deliver nothing less than pure shock and awe.
The USA-made EMG® 808 active pickups are first-ever full-production 8-string pickups. Due to their balanced tone and clear articulation of low notes, they continue to be the popular choices.

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.
The USA-made EMG® 707 active pickups are designed specifically for the 7-string, built clearly articulate the full range- low B on up to the highest high.

Just as the metamorphosis of heavy metal has never stopped, neither do the weapons of engagement. Designed in consultation with numerous artists, the Ibanez X-Series combines originally designed body shapes with killer tone and playability. Named after medieval swords Falchion, Halberd, Glaive, and Xiphos, the X is ready for an all-in frontal assault.
The shred-friendly XPT700XH boasts 27 frets (two octaves plus!) and full access to the upper frets, with the same exact placement of the neck pickup used on the other Xiphos guitars featuring the Air Norton S™.
27 frets and DiMarzio® PU Neck-thru construction on the XPT700XH and ICT700 provides massive sustain and playing comfort.

Few guitarists have the shred skills and unshakable nerve like DragonForce’s Sam Totman. Sam’s Signature Iceman-shaped STM2SPB is a 24-fret mahogany monster made for only the strongest of metal warriors.
When DragonForce guitarist Herman Li wanted a guitar that could handle his otherworldly technique and musicality, both he and Ibanez knew it would take time to get everything just right. It took three years, but they did get it right. The Ibanez E-Gen is played by Li exactly as it is, live on stage, in the studio, right off the shelf, without any modifications.
Modeled using Herman’s hand. EGEN’s unique scoop cutaway at the back of the body, allows even easier access to high frets from all angles.

The cutting edge of Ibanez design, the S series, continues to be a marvel of form and function. Its signature body shape - sculpted, lightweight, and mahogany - is stronger and more musically responsive than guitars weighing twice as much. Though no longer called by its original name, the Saber, the S series is still a rock ‘n’ roll version of that quick, graceful and potentially lethal weapon. The S Prestige is “Made in Japan” by the finest Ibanez craftsmen and from top-of-the-line components.
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.
ZR-2 tremolo w/ZPS3The ZR-2’s unsurpassed tremolo smoothness can be traced to the revolutionary utilization of a ball bearing mechanism. This system also keeps the string action constant, even during the most rigorous tremolo use. The unit’s top side features a smooth finish – ensuring pick hand comfort. Setup is quick and easy with the snap-in tremolo arm. The ZPS3 is the state-of-the-art zero point system. Made of lightweight Duralumin, the addition of two outer springs makes the guitar easier to tune and provides much greater tuning stability. In fact, the other strings will stay in tune even if you break a string. If you prefer a full floating tremolo setup, simply remove the stop bar.
The Hot Grinder pickups are specially designed for the S Prestige—gain is optimized yet sharpness is not sacrificed.The Short Tracer single coil pickup matches perfectly with the hot humbuckers making the S guitars among the most versatile.

Ibanez has long overshadowed traditional locking tremolo systems. The ZR tremolo with the ZPS is a perfect example of a trem system done right. Thanks to the unique ball-bearing mechanism, action and feel are incredibly smooth.

ARZThe 24-fret, two-octave fretboard of the ARZ surpasses the boundaries of traditional single-cutaway guitars. A smooth neck heel provides ease of play, the locked-down fixed bridge/tailpiece ensures sustain and tuning, and active pickups make the ARZ ideal for both standard tune shredders and drop-tune demons.
Original Ibanez LZ pickups have put the joy of active pickups within reach of a whole army of guitarists. Rather than traditional 9Vs, we designed this system to run on the always available, anytime, anywhere AAs.
LZ1 Pickup
The ARZ’s 24 frets are comfortably accessible—lead players love the two full octaves of creative expression.
24 frets ARZ800 and ARZ700 are equipped with an EMG® 60/81 pickup combination.
EMG® PickupsSolid as a rock, the Tight-Tune bridge and tailpiece are designed to lock down securely and prevent any kind of wobble or movement. Each saddle is locked into the base plate, and the bridge is anchored by stud bolts into the body of the guitar. Furthermore, the studs are also locked onto the base plate so that the maximum vibration from the string is transferred to the body.

Furthermore, the studs are also locked onto the base plate so that the maximum vibration from the string is transferred to the body.

The tube pole-piece construction of the new pickups, designed for the Ibanez Darkstone, offers quick response, sparkling clarity, and added harmonics for a humbucker sound.

Set-In Neck construction on the DN-series provides massive sustain and playing comfort.
Set-In Neck Construction
The Tight-End bridge is perfectly designed to anchor with rigidness and accuracy. Saddles are firmly locked onto the base plate for maximum string vibration, and remain perfectly linear during intonation adjustment for the most accurate set-up. The saddle height can be adjusted individually by one screw. Also, the top side of the bridge is smooth finished. So if you play hard, the Tight-End bridge will absorb your hand’s punishment without dishing out any of its own.

The DN resets the standard for heavy metal guitars. As its ”Darkstone” name suggests, tight, integrated construction and smart body style combine for a powerful, clean sound. The Tight-Tune Bridge is sturdy and resonant, and the tailpiece coms equipped with the Ball-End Stopper to lock down strings with a maximum stability – both of which are Ibanez original features.

Built for versatility, the SA is a musical chameleon. From clean rhythm to crunchy blues, all the way out to the most molten of metal, the SA shines in every genre. Its arched top emphasizes the beauty of the SA’s many visual treatments, from straight-ahead solid colors to a stunning quilted grained maple with transparent finish. Combined with its SSH pickup configuration and simple synchronized tremolo, the SA can traverse any musical territory.
The new curvy arched SA series top maximizes the beautiful figured maple, and thinner body for more comfortable playability. The Ibanez Sat Pro II synchronized tremolo eliminates unnecessary resonance around the saddles by firmly securing them to the bridge plate. This keeps the saddles very stable even during frequent tremolo use.

Original Ibanez design triple-coil construction (one single with one stacked) makes Ibanez the first to achieve switching between genuine single-coil and humbucking tone in one pickup.

The ART is a classic single cutaway guitar with Ibanez’s touch of a truly playable thin neck. All models feature a beautifully arched body. Larger frets are highly responsive to vibrato and bend techniques. Light body weight makes for powerful performance mobility.
If simplicity is what you’re after, the GAX may be your rock weapon of choice. This double-cutaway guitar does away with frills, but it keeps the stuff that matters.

“The FRM100TR is proof that Ibanez listens to what guitar players want. I demanded a beefy set-neck and a Tight-Tune bridge for maximum sustain and solid feel. Big, natural tones come from the DiMarzio® Injector™ pickups on the outside and an Area 67™ in the middle. The Fireman inspires me to play ALL THE TIME. Pick one up and ROCK!” – Paul Gilbert
This multi-purpose axe has tone to spare, clean looks, and a configuration of DiMarzio® pickups bound to make any guitarist’s playing sparkle.

Artcore players represent a range of musical genres, but these Artcores are dedicated to the jazz guitarists. That’s probably obvious enough if you know your old school jazz boxes. Wooden bridges. Narrow frets. 20-fret fingerboard sets the neck pickup as far from the guitar’s bridge as possible, resulting in that warm, authentic, jazz tone. And to top it off: The AFJ/AKJ models come equipped with high quality flatwound strings – of course!

Semi acoustic guitars are built to enhance its utility in electric performance. The pickups are mounted into a sustain block for increased sustain as well as to eliminate feedback. That opens up the door for a variety of genres to be played by box guitars. Artcore semi acoustic guitars give you choices from beginners to professionals.

AKIn comparison to the semi-hollow concept, traditional full-hollow construction uses no center support block in the body. Subsequently, the guitar top’s vibrations produce rich, complex tonal textures. Artcore’s full hollow models are offered in a variety of body sizes, thicknesses, and shapes as well as appointments such as the tremolo. The experience of these hollow-bodied Artcores may well be out-of-body!

We don’t know why we didn’t do it years ago: Tube Screamer, the overdrive pedal considered “absolutely mandatory” by a whole generation of guitarists, is now built right into the circuitry of our new series of tube driven amplifiers. Perfectly matched with CELESTION® speakers, these TSAs can do it all. Clean, they produce a rich, clear tone. Drop ‘em down into overdrive and the tube saturation will delight the toughest of the old school tone snobs.
Turning the boost switch on increase gain by 6db. This function gives players a thicker Tube Screamer sound.
Boost Switch
TSA30 features Gain and 3-band Tone control which can design natural clean tone, fat distortion sound, varieties of tube sounds of Ibanez Tube Screamer Amp.
Gain and Tone Control
The “COLOR” knob on the TSA5 allows control of tube tone nuance.
Tone Control
TSA15H and TSA15 are able to switch between 15W mode and 5W mode by using the switch located on the back of the amp. 5W mode is designed for those quieter playing situations like practice or home recording, when you require less volume but still desire plenty to warm Tube Screamer tone.
Wattage Selection(for TSA15H/TSA15)
Beef up the Tube Screamer vibe with the 6db of gain provided by the boost switch. (For TSA15H/TSA15)

DistortionSD9MThe return of a legend! The heaviest of the Ibanez 9 series, the SD9 (the SD stands for “sonic distortion”) has risen from the ashes, newly modified to cast that metal-head of yours even deeper into the overdrive netherworld. Hit “Mid Boost,” hit “Gain Boost”, and say goodbye your loved ones. Grab a chord and hold on…Toto, I don’t think we’re in Kansas anymore...
FlangerFL9Same circuitry and coveted flanging effects of the original ‘80s unit but constructed to closer tolerances for more consistency from unit to unit. If you’ve been hunting for an original but couldn’t find one, or couldn’t afford a high asking price, now’s your chance to bag this ‘80s favorite. Might even be better than the original.
DistortionJD9The Ibanez JD9 produces a unique sound reminiscent of a high-grade handcrafted effects pedal. From piercing distortion to the warm crunch of a tube amp, this pedal features a wide variety of drive control options. The mid control is capable of producing a vast range of sounds from American hard rock to British heavy metal. The pedal is also designed with True Bypass to keep changes in sound when the pedal is off to a minimum.
Analog DelayAD9The Ibanez AD9 Analog Delay Effect Pedal uses a compander with pre- and de-emphasis for an exceptionally clean delay. Time and level controls allow mixing between dry and delayed signals.Repeat control lets you adjust the number of repeats without runaway. 2 outputs enable dry and delayed signals to be routed separately.
BoosterBB9The Ibanez BB9 is a booster that provides a fat bottom end and a powerful sound. This pedal is designed to help clean tones reverberate even more and bring more intensity to a player’s sound. Combination with a distortion pedal allows for creation of a wide variety of tone colors, and the pedal is also equipped with True Bypass.
Hand-Wired Tube ScreamerTS808HW
Stereo ChorusCS9When it comes to compact effects, nine is the magic number. By popular demand (and the understandably escalating prices of the originals), Ibanez has reissued its popular CS9 chorus featuring the original circuitry. If you missed out on getting one of these classics the first time around, now is your chance.
The Original Tube ScreamerTS808Modeling and boutique pedal makers have copied the smooth and full tone of this pedal countless times. Now you can have Ibanez’s faithful reissue at a price that doesn’t break the bank. The reissue features the same JRC4558D IC chip and analog circuitry as the original. Controls include overdrive, level, and tone controls.
Tube ScreamerTS9The Ibanez TS9 Tube Screamer, is a reissue that’s just like the original in so many ways. Same housing, same famous seasick-green paint, and the same crankin’ overdrive that made the original one of the all-time classic pedals. Guitar Player called it the best. Plug it in. Crank it up. You’ll hear what all the fuss is about. Tone, drive, and level controls.
Turbo Tube ScreamerTS9DXThe Ibanez TS9DX Turbo Tube Screamer, Effects Pedal features the same circuit as a TS9 Tube Screamer, and also offers 3 new settings for increased low end crunch: +, Hot, and Turbo.
DC3/DC5 and DC3L/DC5L
Splitter cords for powering 3 or 5 pedals from one adapter. Angled plug versions (DC3L/DC5L) are also available.
EFFECTSFor more than a quarter century, the Tube Screamer has continued to captivate players as the first name in overdrive pedals. With that same distinctive sound and high quality esteemed even by pro players, Ibanez compact effects pedals set the new standard in guitar sound.
The Ibanez Tube Screamer, in its many versions and forms, can be found on pedal boards in every corner of the globe, on arena stages and in small studios and bedrooms. Its warm overdrive is a sound many players, from advanced to beginner, could never do without. Now, it gets even better with the release of the TS808HW, a Hand-Wired deluxe Tube Screamer, built with the pro musician in mind. Encased in a special, heavy duty metal box, the TS808HW is Hand-Wired with select JRC4558D chips (same as the revered and often imitated TS808) and uses Japanese highend OEC cable (AWG21). Equipped with True Bypass, this Tube Screamer, sends pure guitar excitement to your amplifier with no tonal loss whatsoever. This is, by far, the most evolved Tube Screamer, ever created.

Adjusts the time delay from when the pedal is returned until the effect switches off. Turning this clockwise will increase the time delay, preventing the effect from turning off while you are operating the pedal. Turning this counterclockwise will make the effect turn off more quickly, so that it will turn off immediately when you return the pedal.
WD7JR/Auto-Off Delay
In the AUTO SWITCH mode, you can set the effect-off either on standard instant off when the pedal is returned to the full upright position or a delayed-off by turning the control clockwise.

GU1 SLTUNERS In the process of designing six, seven, and eight string guitars for players who use all kinds of alternate tunings, we learned plenty about what works and what doesn’t when it comes to tuners. Ibanez makes tuners that work—quickly, accurately and with the reliability that performers have come to trust.
Ibanezcliptunersaredesignedtotuneelectric and acoustic guitars, basses,violins, banjos, mandolins, and more,without interference from ambientroom noise. The auto-rotate G-Meterwill re-orient the display to upright,no matter how the player chooses toconfigureclampandflexiblestem.
