Controls

With the guitar held in the playing position, there is one knob and one switch along the lower edge of the body. Closest to the neck is the five-way pickup selector switch. Closer to the input jack is the tone knob. The volume knob is located right above the five-way pickup selector switch.

Mono-unit output jack

The mono-unit output jack is made of solid, durable material and is a single piece to avoid unwanted movement and loosening of the jack, which leads to contact failure or disconnection. This innovation allows for long term playing enjoyment and minimal maintenance.

Edge-Zero II tremolo bridge

The Edge Zero II bridge design features a lower profile tremolo for playing comfort and stud lock function for stable tuning.

Quantum pickups

The Quantum pickups have a quick low-end response to picking and are able to capture fast passages with precise note definition, while delivering a full-bodied mid-to-high range.

Wizard III Maple neck

Ibanez's thin, flat and fast Wizard neck is strong and sturdy and offers unlimited playability and features a two-octave 24-fret fretboard for a wide tonal range.

Quilted Maple top / Meranti body

The Quilted Maple top sonically enriches the response for picking. The Meranti body provides a scooped mid-ranged sweet tone.
