About Ibanez Guitars

Ibanez guitars are probably the most well known Japanese guitar manufacturer. The company was founded in Japan in 1957 importing musial instruments. The Ibanez Guitar brand originally made copies of American guitar designs including the 2364, a copy of the Ampeg Dan Armstrong guitar made of clear plastic, the 2347, a Gibson SG/Les Paul Junior copy, the 2351, which looked very like a Gibson Les Paul, and the 2348, a nearly-exact copy of a non-reverse Gibson Firebird shape. These very well-executed copies could easily be passed off as the real thing, and this led to Gibson suing the company for copyright infringement in 1977. Strangely, the lawsuit was not directed at Ibanez's blatant copies of the body shapes of Gibson guitars, but at the headstock design.

The company became a pioneer of the superstrat, a style still popular today. A superstrat is a Fender Stratocaster-style shape, but made to be used by heavy metal guitarists. It was not only Ibanez who developed this style. Companies such as Jackson and Charvel also contributed with the Soloist and Spectrum respectively. Visually, a superstrat is a Stratocaster, normally with no scratchplate, longer, pointed horns and deeper cutaways. Normally the guitars had 24-fret necks, Floyd Rose tremolo systems and three pickups.

The main guitar in Ibanez's superstrat range is the RG. In the late 1980s Ibanez collaborated with supremely talented guitarist Steve Vai, whose CV now includes Whitesnake, David Lee Roth's solo band and his own solo work. He had lost his favoured customised Charvel guitar, which had been stolen, so he now needed a new guitar. He and Ibanez came up with a superstrat design with 24 frets, the aforementioned pickup configuration and a grab handle on the body known by Vai as the Monkey Grip. He and Ibanez also designed a seven-string guitar, the Universe.

Other artists Ibanez have worked with and released signature models for include Paul Gilbert, with his PGM signature models (at the time of writing Gilbert has just designed a new model, an Iceman with a reversed body and extra cutaway), Joe Satriani, with the JS signature, Herman Li and Sam Totman, guitarists for extreme power metal band DragonForce, with the E-Gen and STM models respectively, and Munky, guitarist for metal band KoRN, with his Apex signature.
