The Ibanez story begins in Nagoya, Japan’s fourth most populous city and one of its key trade ports. Also based in Nagoya was Hoshino Shoten, a bookstore chain that – due to the increased demand for Western instruments as a result of the Westernisation of Japan in the late 19th and early 20th century – established a musical instrument division, Hos...
The modern story of Ibanez guitars really begins in 1957 when the youth of Japan, like the rest of the world, started to get bitten by the rock ‘n’ roll bug, and as a result the brand began selling weird and wonderful oddly-shaped instruments that were produced by instrument makers in Japan including Teisco, FujiGen Gakki, Guyatone and in its own T...
It’s not an understatement to say that by the late 60s and early 70s, the shine had come off the US guitar industry – the CBS era at Fender and the Norlin era at Gibson coincided with widespread cost-cutting that saw a gradual but undeniable decline in build quality, while companies such as Martin were so back-ordered thanks to the folk boom and in...
In the mid-70s Hoshino Gakki entered into an agreement with the Nissin company to produce some of the newfangled effects pedals that were starting to take the guitar world by storm. As part of the arrangement, Nissin would design and produce the pedals for Ibanez, but would also release them under its own brand Maxon. In the late 70s, Maxon designe...

Ibanez dove head...
As it happens, Vai would have a key, if inadvertent, part to play in Ibanez’s success and reinvention in the 1990s. Seven-string instruments had been around for decades, but in the early 90s when guitarists Munky and Head were looking for a way to make the riffs of their band’s riffs sound deeper, darker and more foreboding, Munky remembered his id...
Since the 90s Ibanez has been a brand heavily associated with metal, and despite the brand’s attempts to branch out from that – the Talman and Roadcore instruments being notable instruments that have been mild hits in that vein – it’s a reputation that has stood the brand in good stead as the explosion of social media has seen an explosion of techn...
I happen to own an Ibanez SZR720 guitar. But while searching more about it, I discovered that the whole SZ series was discontinued on 2013 and the model I own was only manufactured for 2 years. does anyone know any reasons why the series was removed?
Sep 30, 2015 · Featuring seventeen pedals overall, Ibanez left no stone unturned in trying to become a player in the pedal market. Eventually the line was phased out, but these funky gems can be found on the Interwebs, and most of the time they can be had for less than fifty bucks.
