Ibanez Premium S1070PBZ-CLB Celurean Blue Burst Electric Guitar with Gig Bag

General

The rightful poster-child of the Premium Series, the Ibanez S1070PBZ electric guitar levels-up the versatility thanks to a full-spectrum pickup loadout and carefully selected tonewoods. The three-piece 16.5mm-thick top features a central strip of walnut sandwiched between two slices of figured maple which, coupled with the natural-reveal binding completes a stunning colour contrast, fully emphasising the graceful lines of the body. This hyper-professional shredder comes complete with a gig bag and multi-tool.

The Ibanez Premium S1070PBZ: DiMarzio Pickups

Ibanez has loaded the S1070PBZ with a variable HSS pickup configuration, where a DiMarzio Tone Zone takes up the bridge position, a DiMarzio True Velvet sits in the middle and a DiMarzio Air Norton sits at the neck. Combine all of that with the five-way selector switch and you gain a world of foundation tones that can be moulded and shaped to match pretty much any genre and playing style. Meanwhile, the mounted Edge-Zero II bridge features a Zero Point tremolo system so you're assured of superior tremolo arm action and solid tuning, no matter how extreme things get.

Sublime Playability

The neck has an overwhelming eleven-piece construction made up of panga panga, maple, walnut and bubinga. This doesn't just result in a spectacular looking neck, but guarantees a solid base which has been matched with a rosewood fretboard; a flat-and-modern 15.75 inch radius; and a set of twenty-four jumbo frets, so you're getting fast and light, sublime playability. In true Premium Series style, the frets have been made from stainless-steel, which isn't just more wear-resistant than regular fret materials, but counters string friction to reduce the load on your fret-hand.
