Details & History

My new Ibanez S520EX was bought only last August 3, 2005.
No modifications made so far.
The metallic grey finish has given this guitar a lot of goth character
and dont forget the highly acclaimed ZR trem with a ball bearing adjustment at the back of the guitar :)

Made in Korea; serial#CP05025690

On display at the Ibanez booth at the January NAMM show was an eye-catching all-black S guitar, the S520EX "Extreme Metal" model. Explained Rob Nishida of Ibanez Artist Relations, "The S design has proved popular with every genre from goth to gospel, and we've got all kinds of artists playing it. But we noticed an upsurge in the number of players of extreme forms of heavy rock and metal asking us for S guitars. The S can already get the sounds of those kinds of music, as well as just about anything else, but we felt the S line-up needed a guitar with the right look for those genres."

Nearly all the appointments on the S520EX "Extreme Metal" model are black including the hardware and pickup mounting rings. The S features Ibanez's ball-bearing equipped Zero Resistance tremolo and Zero Point system for the added stability needed for aggressive styles.
