Main Features

Roasted Maple Neck

The roasted maple neck is heat treated to improve stability, durability, and resistance to moisture and temperature changes. This process ensures consistent performance and a comfortable, confident feel in any playing environment.

Roasted Maple Fretboard

The roasted maple fretboard delivers a balanced attack with rich sustain and a clear, articulate tone. Smoothly curved fretboard edges enhance grip comfort, supporting fluid movement and extended playing sessions.

Medium Stainless Steel Frets

Medium stainless steel frets provide excellent durability and long term reliability. Their smooth surface supports precise articulation and consistent feel over time.

Ash Body

The ash body produces a pleasing brightness with rich sustain, delivering clarity and definition that works equally well in live and studio settings.

Delta S4J Pickups

Delta S4J pickups deliver crisp high end attack, full and punchy mid range, and a tight, powerful low end. Their versatile voicing pairs well with a wide range of amplifiers and effects.

Ibanez Sonitech S Preamp with 3 Band EQ

The Sonitech S preamp is carefully voiced across the entire frequency spectrum and features two selectable three band mid range banks alongside a passive tone control. This design offers exceptional tonal flexibility with intuitive operation.

3 Way Mid Frequency Switch with Hexa Mid System

The Hexa Mid system provides access to two mid range banks, each offering three distinct frequency points. This gives a total of six selectable mid frequencies, allowing precise tonal shaping to suit any musical context.

EQ Bypass Switch

The push pull EQ bypass switch allows instant switching between active EQ and passive operation, adding flexibility and reliability for any performance situation.

Ibanez Aero Light Machine Heads

Aero Light machine heads use Extra Super Duralumin to significantly reduce weight while maintaining tuning accuracy and durability. This improves overall balance and comfort, especially during long gigs.

MR5S Bridge

The MR5S bridge features adjustable saddles that allow variable string spacing by plus or minus 1.5 mm, accommodating different playing styles and preferences.

Luminescent Side Dots

Luminescent side dot markers ensure clear fretboard visibility on dark stages and in low light environments.

Gig Bag Included

Supplied with an Ibanez gig bag designed specifically to fit and protect the MDM1300.

Special Design Features
