Ibanez S5470 Prestige Electric Guitar - Biker's Black

Ibanez S5470 Prestige Electric Guitar - Biker's Black

The Ibanez S series first appeared in 1987. Ever since, it has changed in appearance and function to represent the cutting-edge of Ibanez design. The S5470 Prestige Electric Guitar is "Made in Japan" by the finest Ibanez craftsmen and from top of the line components. This beautifully contoured shape, combined with the ZR-2 tremolo system, produces warm resonant tones from a super thin mahogany body.

The ZR-2 is a revolutionary tremolo system. It plays incredibly smooth through the use of its ball bearing mechanism. This also keeps the string action constant, even during the most rigorous tremolo use. The top side features a smooth finish for total hand comfort, and the tremolo arm snaps in for quick setup.

The Ibanez S5470 features the ZPS3 Zero Points System, the next stage of zero point systems. Made of lightweight Duralumin, the addition of two outer springs makes the guitar easier to tune and provides much greater tuning stability. In fact, the other strings will stay in tune even if you break a string. If you prefer a full floating tremolo setup, simply remove the stop bar.

The S5470 also features the Barless Top-Lok. The Barless Top-Lok eliminates the need for a retainer bar to maintain string tension. Through its simple design, it holds the correct angle for the strings without one. The metal-injection moulding process means that all the edges remain smooth, so you won't hurt your hands.

The Hot Grinder pickups are specially designed for the S Prestige to output extra volume, yet sharpness is not sacrificed. The new Short Tracer pickup matches perfectly with the hot humbuckers to give versatility on the S guitars and to produce even the most delicate tones.
