Electric Guitars, Electric Basses, Amplifiers, Effects & Accessories
A great live sound is the result of hard work...from the decisions that go into
developing and refining it, all the way to the experience it takes to successfully
reproduce it night after night. It’s also a result of choosing the right gear...gear
that sounds the way you need it to—consistently, dependably, affordably.
Here at Ibanez, we understand what it takes to build great sounding gear. We work
closely with the artists that use our instruments, amps and effects, every day, to
make sure we stay on top of the changing needs of modern musicians. We see it
as our job to produce relevant, affordable solutions for every application.
Electric Guitars
Allow us to welcome you to our 2010 catalog and invite you to take a look
around. As you flip through it’s pages, you may be surprised at how many of
your favorite artists are using Ibanez. Oh, and while you’re here, be sure to
check out the RGA series electric guitars. With active pickups, active eq, and
a new arched top design, these axes are a pleasure to play and offer nearly
unlimited tonal possibilities.
Seeking something really heavy? The RGD series is literally made for you.
These guitars, including the 7-string model, are actually designed for down-
tuning. The days of floppy strings are officially over. Let a new era of speed,
accuracy, and sonic brutality begin!
Remember, great tone starts with great gear. Shape yours with Ibanez!

At Ibanez we believe that the instrument should never overshadow
the artist. Our aim is to provide the best instruments for producing
music, period. Music is created by musicians, not the instruments,
and instruments should support and allow musicians to unleash and
extend their imagination. With this concept in mind we developed
the Ibanez Prestige.
