Frequently Asked Questions

The 3-band EQ is more refined than older Ibanez models, offering a wider tonal palette and a smoother response, while still retaining that signature Ibanez punch.
Panga panga's sustainability is a complex topic; Ibanez generally sources responsibly, but it's always wise to research the specific supply chain if that’s a key concern for you.
Due to the body wood combination and longer scale, it tends to be slightly neck-heavy, so a strap lock system and potentially a bass support are recommended for extended standing sessions.
