THE BRAND Ibanez

In Asia, few brands can boast of being one of the world's leading stringed instrument manufacturers. The Japanese giant, Ibanez, has established itself as the best guitar and bass manufacturer in this region. Ibanez is well known among metalheads for its wide range of metal instruments, and also offers a catalogue of guitars dedicated to the world of jazz. But Ibanez also offers high-performance basses, rich-sounding acoustic guitars and numerous effects pedals, including the legendary Tuber Screamer. Its know-how and impeccable construction have seduced the great artists of yesterday and today. These include John Petrucci, Steve Vai, Eddie Van Halen and Slipknot guitarist Mick Thomson.
