Ibanez S1070PBZ-CLB

The S1070PBZ is an S model in the Ibanez Premium series. Premium is a relatively new line of guitars and basses in Ibanez's range that sits between the Prestige and Standard series. The series can best be described as aiming to build a high-quality instrument in a more affordable manufacturing country, all to keep the price down for the end consumer.

With Premium instruments, you get astonishing quality for the price you pay; both sound and playability are of the highest quality. Details such as the neck pocket fitting, shielding of the control cavity, fret finishing, etc., are absolutely top-notch.

The S model features a thin, sleek, and comfortable body with a lightly arched top. It has a rounder and softer design compared to the sharper RG model. This model is a true sonic chameleon, easily handling everything from soft pop to metal.

The body is made of mahogany with a beautiful poplar burl top, a combination that leans towards a warmer, midrange sound. The treble is slightly softened without sacrificing clarity, separation, or sustain. The neck is glued in 11 layers, and the rosewood fingerboard has stainless steel frets. It features a locking MG-T tuner from Gotoh.
