banez has a rich heritage of producing
high quality instruments that spans
decades. Though the history is far
reaching, the Ibanez impact on the
music industry has not been solely due
to the amount of time it has existed as a
company. Each Ibanez instrument has
demonstrated its value time and time again through
its exceptional functionality and sheer versatility.
The instruments have evolved to meet the new
demands of musicians and push the limits of what
is possible. For 2009, the envelope is being pushed
again. The new lineup features a variety of guitars,
including those with Maple fingerboards. These
fingerboards provide a more sensitive touch to the
way each instrument responds. There are different
graphics that have been applied to various models
to blur the lines between guitars as instruments
or fashion statements. The new Darkstone series
takes on the ambitious task of applying modern
functionality and building techniques to a classic
sense of design.

his year also marks the return of all SR
Prestige models to their “Made in Japan”
roots. These instruments represent the
top of the line in components and craftsmanship.
The SRX has been refined to be even more of an
extreme bass, while the ATK has been modified to
provide more of a simple and raw punk bass sound.
They represent two ends of the spectrum, united
by the Ibanez trademark of performance and play-
ability. Ibanez has also long been an innovator in the
realm of hardware and electronics for electric guitars
and basses. The legendary Edge tremolo, Gibraltar
bridge, and mono-rail bridges have redefined the
way an electric instrument feels and responds. This
catalog represents the latest advances in Ibanez
hardware and electronics, promising even greater
tuning stability and massive sounds. Never one to
be complacent, Ibanez has taken its rich heritage a
step further this year. The best of the past has been
combined with the best of the present to produce
instruments that will meet the demands of the
future. We are proud to produce instruments that
musicians everywhere can be proud to own.
