Ibanez S1070PBZ S Premium Electric Guitar Cerulean Blue Burst

This thing is a "G/Jem". I have an 80's Ibanez Jem and was wondering where the boys @ Ibanez have come with regard to updating such a high-quality flavor of this shredding-capable, tone-rich machine. They "nailed it" in my humble opinion. The update Floyd Rose Edge II is amazing.. Complete string dumps, and barely a few semi-tone tuning abuse repercussions. I suck @ playing in general, but I love the instrument. The stunning, and artistically-stained- panga-panga wood is an absolutely "gorgeous" finish for both the body-top and headstock trim. The multi-rare-wood laminated neck is absolute gorgeous and sustain-inducing. This is a both absolutely gorgeous, and very capable, musical instrument. ..'nuff said really Despite our recent supply chain issues, there is a reason that this bad-boy is often back-ordered. Thanks to Guitar Center for actually having this thing in-stock at the time for me to appreciate!!!

Great looks; very easy and smooth to play. All setting pickups sound great. Very good sustain for a bolt on neck and tremolo instrument. Tremolo system has some intrinsic issues; I have played other Floyd rose systems that have more tuning stability. Guitar should come with a manual and a case versus gig bag.

The Guitar was shipped to me with a chipped headstock, a dented tremelo port that can't be screwed on, wood glue in the input slot, and worst of all a crack in the wood where the fretboard is bolted to the body.

I thought I was buying a new guitar in a box never played, instead they sent me a used floor model that has been played along with a scuff on it a little dent and many little scratches and finger prints on it, and I did not get the all in one tool with this guitar, how disappointing!!! This is the second time this happened to me, not cool, shame on Guitar Center!!!

At this price point you are getting a guitar with attention to details. You can't get a better neck with better fretwork at this price.

I haven't owned an Ibanez in more than 25 years, but when I saw this guitar, and read the specs, I knew I had to have it. The hardware is impeccable; DiMarzio pickups, Belden wiring, Gotoh locking tuners, Edge-Zero tremolo, Stainless Steel frets, 18mm neck thickness, luminescent side dot inlays, and that "S" series body! My only concern? It was assembled in Indonesia. However, I can safely put those fears to rest now, this guitar is incredible, they did an excellent job. The bad? Like a Gibson SG, this guitar is very thin, so much so that excessive pressure on the neck can affect tune. Just like the SG, it's not horrible, but it is there. Other than that, this guitar is an absolute powerhouse! The pickups sound spectacular, and the electronics are perfectly quiet, with no hiss whatsoever. The neck is super-fast, and the body fits perfectly against the body, and while it's thin, it sustains for days!
