Ibanez

Description

The S Series S521 features an Indian rosewood fretboard with jumbo frets. Lurking beneath the its graceful 3-D shape is mahogany specifically chosen for S Series instruments. The S Series S521 is light enough to amaze in terms of comfort, heavy enough to provide the tone and sustain that players expect from the S Series.

As the originators of the thin, fast neck, the Ibanez's Wizard III neck is yet another achievement in playability, providing the kind of comfort that translates to responsiveness and speed.

Proprietary Quantum pickups round out this metal mammoth with an entire palette of thick, distorted tone textures that retain high-end articulation. A simple, yet solid fixed bridge provides stable, dependable tuning and accurate intonation.

Case sold separately.

    I have been using this guitar for about 2 and a half years and it is my personal favorite guitar I've ever played. It is very easy to shred on and it has a good clean sound. I would recommend this guitar for sure!

  • Solid!

    This is a really solid guitar for jamming and practice. Super easy to handle, and a bit lighter than other guitars I've played. It's a good step up from your basic practice guitar and definitely quality for the price range. The neck is speedy and is what you'd expect if you've ever played another Ibanez. Great for the hard stuff. The paint job is pretty cool too.

  • Incredible Neck Playability

    I purchased this guitar because of the lightness and play ability. Incredible! My leg couldn't handle having the weight of a les paul since i had ankle surgery half a year ago and my small hands could only practice for about an hour on the neck of my les paul traditional. The intonation at the 24th fret is on par to my $2k Taylor acoustic at the 12th fret, not sure if this is an alright comparison lol The electronics are great, I set my amps dirty/clean settings and adjusts controls on the guitar to fine tune the tones I want. The guitar finish is gorgeous, dark blue near the bottom and gradiently/gradually becomes more light blue towards the neck. Images online don't really show. Overall if your like me looking for a guitar with great neck play ability to practice your scale improvisations endlessly without hand fatigue. Give it a try!

  • Yes, so happy. Sounds better than I imagined.
