Purpleheart fretboard

The Purpleheart fretboard emphasizes the beauty and the rich tonal character of this instrument.

Purpleheart bridge

The Purpleheart bridge transfers string vibration directly to the body, delivering a natural and warm tone.

Comfort Grip Maple neck

The Comfort Grip Maple Neck contour provides superior playability.

Ibanez AEQ-2T preamp w/Onboard tuner

AEQ-2T preamp is specifically-designed to adjust the frequencies of a bass and Treble, and allows operation of the built-in tuner without the instrument being plugged in.

Large frets

The large frets contribute to smooth playability, especially for phrasing involving a series of quick, successive notes.

Ibanez Advantage™ bridge pins

These pins really are an advantage over old-fashioned pins. Advantage™ pins are easier to take out and easier to put in than standard pins. A special bulb-shaped end makes the pin easy to grip and also prevents the pin from being pushed in too far. Best of all, with Advantage™ the pin and string stay put.
