- • Sapele back and sides, while attractive, don’t offer the tonal complexity of rosewood.

Frequently Asked Questions
The tuner is surprisingly accurate and responsive, even with moderate stage volume, making quick adjustments a breeze.
The 1.7” nut width might feel a bit snug for those with very large hands; a try-before-you-buy is recommended.
While it won't rival higher-end models, the Ibanez pickup and preamp system deliver a clean, functional amplified tone perfectly adequate for smaller venues or practice.
