SOMEWHERE…
If you're going to make it, you've got to start somewhere, right?
That “somewhere” is the theme of this Ibanez catalog, as Ibanez
artists from all over give us a look at where they got started
doing the best job in the world—playing music.
Of course, the best job in the world hardly ever starts with the
best job. For some, it's a talent show in the school auditorium.
For others, the corner dive. Often you get paid next to nothing.
More often nothing at all. Some first gigs are downright scary or
embarrassing. Of course, they're the ones that are the most fun
to tell about later. A whole lot later. No matter what, it's worth it.
Because there really is nothing else in the world like playing guitar
or bass. Whether it's something you do full-time. Or something
you do to get to escape what you do full-time.
We've also been looking back at where we started. To create
our 2004 line-up, we've been revisiting our deep roots in rock and
jazz guitars. The Ibanez Destroyer is back. The Iceman bass is back.
We're building on our considerable heritage in making jazz guitars
with the largest selection of full- and semi-acoustic guitars in our
history. We've got reissues of our famous ’80s effects, the TS808
Tube Screamer, the FL9 Flanger, and CS9 Stereo Chorus. But not
everything is a bow to where we've been. Our amp line, which
now includes 100 watt heads and bass amps, was inspired strictly
by where players are NOW and where they're headed tomorrow.
And why have we done this? So somewhere in these pages
you'll find what you need to play. Whether it's for playing in your
living room or on the other side of the world. It's doesn't really
matter where. As long as it's somewhere you can play.
Ibanez Prestige guitars and basses are
crafted in Japan of premium woods by
our most experienced luthiers using the
perfect blend of New World technology
and Old World craftsmanship. Identifiable
in this catalog by the Prestige logo, Prestige
models feature necks with the comfortable,
rounded feel previously found only in
vintage instruments broken in by years
of dedicated playing. Prestige instruments
also feature high-end electronics and
precision-crafted deluxe appointments.

y first gig was when I was three years old in

“
y first gig was in somebody's basement in Ludlow,
Massachusetts, around '84 or '85. I remember somebody
spilled a beer all over my old Tube Screamer and ruined it.
My first real gig was at a bar called Catinas with a band
named Tera Shock. For favorite venues, Houses of Blues is
the first place that comes to mind, but thinking about it, I'd
have to say it's a place back home called the Hippodrome.
It's a great old theater.” -Mike Mushok

ands down, my favorite venue is the House of Blues in
New Orleans. It's kind of our home crowd, so we sell it out every
time. Funny story—one night we were playing this rather small
club. The stage, which was nothing more than a big drum riser,
had a big steel support beam right through the middle. About
half-way through the set, I decided I was going to pole dance, so
I swung my guitar around my back, grabbed the pole, threw one
leg around and proceeded to slide down. That was when I lost
my grip, fell backwards and busted my a--. Fortunately, I didn't
land on my guitar and was able to finish the rest of the set.”

uct tape is so much a part of what we
musicians do on the road. Since each guitar is
individually wrapped in duct tape, you’re not
going to find another guitar like it. And on top
of all that, it’s just an easy playing guitar that
you can get a bunch of great sounds out of.”

“
’ve always felt that the tone you get
comes from your skin touching the fretboard,
not just strings on frets. I wanted a guitar
with a modern sound, but with a vintage
feel, with smaller frets and more radius on
the fingerboard. It had to be subtle enough
to catch nuances, fast and easy to play,
and you had to be able to wear it.” - Joe
Satriani, describing the genesis of the JS
in Ibanez. The Untold Story.
I
here’s a lot of responsibility that goes along with having
a signature guitar. My goal was to transcend my own name.
Obviously it had to be good for me to play, but it also had to
be good for other players. The guitar had to be good looking,
very playable, very friendly. We achieved that. The JEM is the
guitar for me, a warm place to be. Any other guitar seems
strange; it just doesn’t have the vibe. Anywhere in the world I
can go into a music store, take a JEM off the wall, and it’s my
guitar, my voice.” - Steve Vai in Ibanez. The Untold Story
“
hen I pick up any other brand
of guitar, I have to think of so many
things… the volume knob is in the wrong
place; the frets are too small; there are
too many controls; the balance isn’t
right; the body shape poke me in the
ribs. These are things I don’t have to
worry about with my Ibanez.”
- Paul Gilbert in Ibanez. The Untold Story

played my first gig at seven years old in a local
talent show in Portola Valley, CA. I played Peter, Paul
and Mary's "If I Had A Hammer." My first "real" gig
was on the Sergeant Sacto television show in
Sacramento. We were called the "Juveniles," and I
was ten years old. My favorite venue today is the
Greek Theater in Los Angeles. It has a great vibe.”

y first gig was kind of a
'real' gig. I was 15 years old, in
some heavy rock and we
played at a club in St. James,
NY called 'The Third Rail'. The
club was literally gone the next
day after some drunk guy
drove through the front window
and wrecked the place. They
sold it after that. -Fuzz

T
he GB10’s smaller body doesn’t
have a lot of resonance, but it has a lot of
articulation. The notes don’t melt together
like on softer guitars. It maintains the tone
while articulating each note. No other guitar
gets that sound. It’s a guitar that really
shows off chops—especially for today’s
young players who have all the chops!”
- George Benson from Ibanez.The Untold Story.
“
When Ibanez wanted to reintroduce
my original AS200 guitar with the original
specs they had to fly me to the Ibanez
R&D facility in L.A., where detailed measurements were taken of every conceivable
dimension. This became the basis for the
JSM John Scofield Model introduced in
2001, which reproduced the original
guitar plus added some improvements
such as a side-mounted jack.”
- John Scofield from Ibanez. The Untold Story.
“
started coming to Japan in the late 70's. I
was very flattered when some representatives of
Ibanez came to one of our concerts and showed
me some of their guitars. At that time, I had never
even met someone from a guitar manufacturing
company, let alone had them be really nice to me
and offer to build me an instrument. It took some
time, several prototypes and perseverance from
all corners, but the final results are excellent - I
love playing all of the various Ibanez PM models
and am quite proud to be associated with them.”

y first gig was with a band I

birthday party. He had rented a hall
and expected all the cool kids to
come, except it was only us nerds
who played music and a few others.
My first real gig was the Diamond

rocked it out, playing covers of Elton
John, Boston, and Zep. My favorite
places to play are the House of Blues
in Chicago, the Bowery Ballroom in NYC,

“
My sound came about so I could be heard through
“
all the low end from the7-string guitars. A lot of the sound
comes from the bass itself, the active pickups. Another
part of my sound is that I just dump all the mids; I really
don’t like midrange.
I t took about two years to come out
with my signature model. I was impressed
that Ibanez didn’t sell the bass right away.
They made it the way I wanted first. In
the end, my bass says what I want it to
say. It has its own sounds, but it’s also
transparent; you get sounds out of your
hands. When you can dial in an instrument
to this level of performance, it’s amazing.”
“ I’ve played all kinds of basses. I’ve got other companies
that want me to endorse, but I don’t like any other basses.
I’m not like some people who play an instrument because
of a contract. I’m playing it because I love it. The K5 is a
masterpiece.” - Fieldy in Ibanez. The Untold Story.
- Gary Willis in Ibanez. The Untold Story.
“
My 5-string represents five long
years of research and development. It’s
truly a work of art. One of the best 5-string
basses Ibanez has ever made—and that
says something! I designed it so I could
get a wide and different range of sounds
with ease, both live and in the studio. It’s
got a great dynamic and great fundamentals.
I think players will find it very easy, very
useful and very, very fun to play—
because we nailed it.” - Doug Wimbish

ts808. the original
tube screamer.
There are already plenty of amps dedicated to the thrilling sounds of yesteryear.
(Not that there’s anything wrong with that.) But Ibanez amps are spec’d and voiced
for today's tones. The fact that Ibanez amps pump out the right tones for the times
has received critical acclaim from Guitar World, Guitar One and Guitar Player
magazines. And it's definitely why the guitar and bass playing public has made
Ibanez the fastest growing new line of amplification.
It’s back—the incomparable overdrive pedal that’s been
described as “the Holy Grail of Tube screamers.” Our 2004 TS808
reissue features the same famous standout square footswitch of
the original and the even more famous warm tones of the
JRC4558 chip used in most of the original TS808's. Ignore any
over-the-counter lookalikes. If your tone is suffering from a lack
of real warmth, the TS808 is the real, non-generic prescription.
For 2004, we’re expanding the newest name in amplifiers with our first 100 watt
bass amp and bass extension cabinet.

nine is the magic number. By popular
demand (and the understandably
escalating prices of the originals), we're
reissuing two of the most popular
Ibanez 9-Series effects, the FL9 Flanger
and CS9 chorus. If you missed out on
getting one of these classics the first
time around, now is the time.
Both our TS9 Tube screamer reissue and
TS9DX Turbo Tube screamer feature the
TA75558 chip used in most of the original
TS9's with the TS9DX adding three settings
for increased low-end crunch.

EDGE-PRO/EDGE-PRO II
ZR “ZERO RESISTANCE”
bridges
tremolo
In the last 20 years , no other guitar maker has done as much to advance the art and science of the tremolo.
The Edge-PRO and Edge-PRO II bridges represent another huge step in the evolution of the locking trem.
The ZR tremolo may be the most significant advance in locking tremolos since the first locking tremolo. Most floating tremolos
use a knife-edge system, but the ZR tremolo uses a ball-bearing based system for precision and friction-free smooth action.
edge-pro II
edge-pro
ZR Built-In Intonation Adjustment Tool
Just unscrew the built-in intonation adjustment tool from the base and
screw it into the bottom of each saddle for quick adjustments.
Sliding String Holder
One of the biggest complaints about the ordinary
locking tremolo was string holder blocks getting lost
during string changes. The EDGE-PRO's and EDGE-PRO
II's SLIDING STRING HOLDERS are actually part of the
bridge and will not drop from the saddle units.
Easy String Changes
There's no need to cut off the ball of your strings when
changing strings on the EDGE-PRO or EDGE-PRO II.
ZERO POINT System
This unique system stabilizes the bridge and insures tuning stability by consistently
returning the tremolo to the center point (or zero point). In addition to the usual
tremolo springs, the ZERO POINT system features two additional springs which
insure the bridge’s return to the center point.
Gravy
mushroomhead
Intonation Stabilty When Using Fine Tuners
Unlike older style locking tremolos, the EDGE-PRO and
EDGE-PRO II feature a STATIONARY STRING SUPPORT
SYSTEM that prevents intonation changes during fine
tuner adjustments.
Sound Metal Chip
The EDGE-PRO features a unique SOUND METAL CHIP
on each saddle. This helps increase sustain right at the
most critical area, the intonation point.
Arm Height and Torque Adjustment
The EDGE-PRO II features two screws in the arm pocket
which allow easy adjustment of the arm height and torque.
Bronson
mushroomhead
Offset Saddle Locking Bolt
The locking bolt is offset from the center
of the saddle, which allows easy access
to the bolt without loosening the strings.
Arm Torque Adjuster
The arm torque is easily adjusted by
tightening or loosening the screw
located in the arm holder.
Ball Bearing Pivot
Smoother than smooth. The ZR tremolo's
ball bearing pivot system allows ultra-smooth
arm control.The pivot's precise movement
virtually guarantees tuning stability.
Easy Spring Adjustment Access
Spring tension can be easily adjusted
without removing the back plate.
