Ibanez Vintage Guitars & Basses

Ibanez Vintage Guitars and Basses

Ibanez Guitars was founded in Japan in the late fifties and has since become one of the most popular brands of guitar. 

Favoured by rock and metal guitarists, Ibanez is well known for its beautifully shaped bodies, high gloss colours and stunning sound quality.

Some of the biggest rock guitarists in the world play and have been endorsed by Ibanez guitars. Paul Gilbert, Steve Vai and Joe Satriani  are just a few of the incredible axe-men who play this brand of guitar.

Ibanez produce guitars to suit all pockets, from the high-end Ibanez J. Custom, right down to the Ibanez Gio which is priced to appeal to budding musicians. These stunning guitars all boast top-quality parts and craftsmanship, whilst being more easily affordable than the custom range.

How to care for your Ibanez guitar

Ibanez guitars have a radical body shape, and these ‘horned’ guitars require a hard case, particularly if you plan on travelling to gigs. 

This kind of angular guitar shape is particularly susceptible to chips, so be on the look out for a suitable hard case for transporting. 

Ibanez produce their own range of guitar cases, but these may prove more expensive than a standard brand.

As with all guitars, the gloss finish needs attention, as this will keep your guitar smear and scratch free and enhance the overall appearance. Polish and wax will provide your Ibanez guitar body with the necessary protection from everyday use.
