X

With the advent of the X series, Ibanez reintroduced non-traditional guitar shapes back into the mix. These off-the-wall shapes stand out in a crowd, but they are also excellent examples of form meeting function. The XPT was developed for the extreme shred player, with its fast neck and tremolo system.

FEATURES   CLICK TO ENLARGE
The XPT700CM's "Chameleon" finish responds to light and gives the appearance of changing colors as the guitar moves.

The XPT700's new Red Chameleon finish changes hue as the guitar is moved.
EDGE III TREMOLO
The new Edge III is similar in construction and feel to the original Edge locking trem; however, it also features lower profile fine-tuners inspired by the Lo-PRO Edge and massive new-design saddles.
FEATURES   CLICK TO ENLARGE
The Edge III features two screws in the arm pocket, which allow easy adjustment of the arm height and torque.
In the last two decades, no other guitar maker besides Ibanez has done so much to advance the art and science of the tremolo. The Edge III represents the next phase in locking tremolos.
