Ibanez S Series Electric Guitar

Ibanez is a historic musical instrument brand with roots dating back to the early 20th century in Nagoya, Japan. Originally the brand name was adopted from a Spanish luthier, Salvador Ibáñez, whose high-quality instruments were imported to Japan. Today, Ibanez is globally recognized for its innovation in high-performance guitars, particularly favored by jazz players and rock shredders alike.

The brand's production is tiered by series. High-end 'Prestige' and 'J-Custom' models are traditionally handcrafted in Japan. The 'Premium' line is produced in Indonesia, and more accessible series like the GIO and Iron Label are manufactured in Indonesia or China. The Ibanez S series, such as the S1070PBZ, is a notable part of this lineup, known for its sleek, ultra-thin mahogany body and versatility.

Ibanez is owned by Hoshino Gakki Group. Unlike many other major guitar brands that have undergone numerous corporate acquisitions, Ibanez has remained under the ownership of the Hoshino family and their group for nearly a century, maintaining a consistent brand identity based on Japanese precision and global musical trends.
