Ibanez Guitars

If you wanted a total history of Ibanez you´d have go back to 1908 when a company named Hoshino began as a sheet music store and later music products distributor in Nagoya Japan.

If you wanted a little less completeness than that you´d go back about forty-five when Hoshino began distributing a Spanish guitar named Ibanez. Or perhaps you´d simply go to the Mid 60´s when Hoshino, who by that time had purchased the rights to the Ibanez name, began shipping incredibly funky looking guitars to the United States, many of which were actually sold in department stores.

But for most of us, Ibanez pretty much begins almost 30 years ago, when Hoshino opened an office near Philadelphia, PA for more efficiently distributing Ibanez guitars to the United States. Most of those guitars were Ibanez´ famous high quality (but very inexpensive) copies of just about everything–you name it, we probably made a version of it. At that time many American instruments were going through an unfortunate period of increasing prices with decreasing quality, and these copies hit a ready market.

  1. Ibanex EX Series
    Tim

    I have a Ibanez EX series guitar that nearly matches the EX 350 except it doesn’t have a double locking vibrato, it has a standard vibrato. The neckplate serial number does not match normal Ibanez serialization, it is all numbers instead of beginning with a letter. I’ve heard new price quotes ranging from 400$-580$. Could someone please help me out figuring out what model this is??

      Carl (A different Carl)

      Me too. I have an Ibanez EX Series with a serial that doesn’t fit the scheme they describe on the Ibanez website etc. It’s all numbers, no letters to be seen and made in Korea. I however, am not keeping the guitar… it’s kinda old, wiring is screwed up. I’m part exchanging it for an ESP MH-100 (Around $699). I doubt the Ibanez comes anywhere near that price.

      I just bought a 1992 EX Series Ibanez from Ebay for $133.50. Probably worth more though. All numbers, just like yours. It also has made in Korea on the plate. Excellent AXE, so I’ll keep this one…

      Richard

      I have an EX, sounds about same as yours Tim, again all numbers for the serial number, no letter, and I too am wondering what type this is. Of all the EX’s I’ve seen it doesn’t look like the rest, all the other’s I’ve seen have that solid paint job, mine is a turquiose colour, and you can see the wood grain, looks like the finish you get on maple.

    1. Re: Maxxas guitar
      Chris

      Well, I own one… there’s a review on harmony central you might want to see, I think it is a bit TOO glowing. I don’t really think it’s a shred machine,
      the frets are too low for that. I have a model without a locking tremolo, it goes out of tune if you whammy a lot. Apart from that it’s quite a unique guitar,
      pretty rare too. The cavities really make it resonate. It’s also very light. Somewhat dark sounding though. Good for jazz/fusion/rock I guess. It’s a bit
      fragile, DON’T drop it!
      This is the exact model I own (down to the color)

        I own a Red MX3 as above. I love it it is very individual. Not to a lot of peoples tastes but a beautifuly crafted instument. High output pick-ups and a very full dark grungey sound. It’s got tone. Not for clean work i feel. If anyone has one for sale let me know.

  2. Korn and Limpbizkit suck
    Adam

    Korn and Limpbizkit are horrible musicians, song writers, and guitarists and bring down the Ibanez name with so many fantastic players/bands using them like Steve Vai, Dream Theater, Paul Gilbert, and of course myself.

    1. Re: Korn and Limp Bizkit suck
      Bizkit and Korn Suck Ass

      The fact that the Limp and Korn fans can’t spell shows their intelligence (or lack thereof). At least Vai, Satch, and Gilbert are intelligent and know music theory. Rap-core will die out in time, and true guitarists will prevail and those of you stuck in Limp Bizk-shit cover bands will be stuck there forever.

          Korn and Limp Bizkit are posers. They get credit for inventing nu-metal when Suicidal Tendencies was doing it in the eighties! Don’t even get me started on System of a Down.

These guys are a bunch of wannabe-tough guys who hide inability behind walls of excess distortion. Play an arpeggio for Christ sake! Learn to play a solo for crying out loud! "Falling Away From Me"!

        have any of you ever seen tablature for a korn or limp bizkit song? because if you did you would change your minds.
        one of the main reasons that they dont play any solos is because they dont like to show off. i would like to see some of you people
        play a korn song and play it good. until then all of you can kiss my ass.

      2. Re: Korn and Limpbizkit suck
        Jim Frog

        You gotta admit, Korn and Limp Bizkit were very original.
        Now however they’re still recycling old riffs as new ideas which isn;t cool.
        They’re flogging a dead horse and need to either change with the times or get stuck
        sometime in the mid to late 90’s where they were revloutionary and stagnate.
        Good band, good style, good music, shame they only had one good idea and keep
        using that one instead of making an effort to come up with something new.

    Anyone who knows what it’s worth nowadays.

    Thanks

    Not that I want to sell it

    1. Shut up man, i play a seven string….and i dont even like korn or ne uv them, all they do is bang around on them, but if u make more melodic stuff, and dont just chunk on them they’re really kool.

  14. Ibanez M340 acoustic guitar...stolen from me and I need her!
    John D. Rowe, M.D.

    I was given an I banez M340 acoustic guitar as a present by my parents in 1981. I loved her, I wrote my first published songs and my first recorded songs on her. She performed with me…She was stolen from me in 1983 and I miss her. The model has a spruce top, curly maple back/sides, hard rock maple neck/fretboard, abalone inlays and gold appointments. If you know of one for sale, please contact me at my e-mail address. Must be in good-excellent shape. God bless, John

    1. Re: Ibanez M340 acoustic guitar...stolen from me and I need her!
      David Straker

      John,

      I just saw a beaut (10/24/2001) in a local pawnshop – just out of pawn. I call in every couple of weeks. I’m an electric/electronic musician but I was tempted (but then I thought of my wife’s karate black belt).

      One small scrape through the top finish just below the scratch plate about 1 inch by 1/2 inch. The rest is almost mint (back, sides and front) and she has a gorgeous, bright tone. Comes with a fairly good condition hard case (some wear on the headstock end).

      Serial is B 81 2408 (Feb 1981 according to my research – same year as your original)

  17. Ibanez Limited Edition - Custom Made
    Peter Mitchell

    I need some information about my Ibanez. Apparently it is a custom made limited edition. Only on the back it says "540S" and on the neck at the 21st. fret it says "custom made". I don’t know if it is a SG or RG, but the color is purple, and it has 2HB’s (on the neck and the bridge) and a single coile in the middle. Can anybody help me out here, or can anybody give me an addres where I can have this authenticated?

    1. Re: Ibanez Limited Edition - Custom Made
      Ohm

      I have a black S540LTD myself that I bought in late 1990. Mine has the IBZ USA pickups and the plate on the back has the Bensalem, PA, USA Address. I too have been looking for info on it. So far I have learned that if you have the "custom made" on the neck like mine that it is an Ibanez USA Custom Shop guitar. The parts are made in Japan but it is assembled here. The Custom Shop version listed for $1599 when new. I bought mine used for a 1/4 of that. I have had trouble verifying mine because the serial number on the back is blank. Even the guy I talked to at Ibanez found that to be weird and couldn’t tell me why. I have seen these guitars on ebay go for 800-1000. That is about all I know except that I have never seen one in purple, only black and blue.

        Hi, I have a Ibanez S series too. But I don’t know the model. There is nothing saying the model. In the 21st on neck says custom made, and behind says it was made in California, USA, but all the other parts like, the bridge (Pro-edge), was made in Japan. And there is a serial number only behind the guitar’s hand and in the metal board, the place of the serial number is blank. Can you tell me the model? How many guitars were made approximately? When those guitars were made? And how many dollars can cust that guitar? Thankx. Sorry about my english. I’m waiting answer.

        The body is much like the SR4–same style, and pickup layout. Three knobs–one tone, two volume. Passive electronics. Die cast 4 bridge.

        I need a new imput jack for mine.

        Is it just me, or is Ibanez’s web site less than usefull? I’d love to order online (especially parts), but apparently they’re not set up for this.

      Your Ibanez Les Paul copy even in Pristine condition will only fetch what the market for the manufacturer gets.In other words Ibanex although is a respected manufacturer it’s colllector status is not very high.I own a Ibanez and I would put it against any Fender made.At least when i plug it in it doesn’t get that annoying hum.But i bet you any Stratocaster made in 1989 is worth more than my EXseries.my geuss on the Les Paul copy $2,500 (U.S)

    teddy

    Hi there
    I am writing this letter from Korea.
    I drop by here to inform you of our tremolo bridge.
    As you know, the most used tremolo( flody tremolo) has had lots of problems for even guitarlist to set it up to play as well as to handle guitar while you play guitar.

    I also got a lots of complaint from all over the world consumers and have even evidence from forum parts of some website.

    Our company invented new style, not only in design but specially, in funtion.
    Simply, our product doesn’t need locking nut to set up as well as it doesn’t take long time to set up strings.

    can you get idea about that?

    Actually , I want to share this infromation about this.
    so if you have any idea or questions ?
    please, contacts us and leave your valuable opinion.

    I will be really pleasure for you do it.

    thanks alot

        I would like to pay 150 for it if possible because of shipping prices are a major pain when you have to buy insurance and all that stuff.

        If I recall this guitar was indeed made by Ibanez but for Roland. It was one of their (Roland’s) first midi guitars. Used with the Roland GR-300 synth box. You might want to check with Roland on the cable. I doubt if you can get it from them. But they may know of an independant manufacturer who can assist you. Also if this is the same guitar I am thinking of it will work with all of the Roland GR series midi synth units up to the GR-700. You will probably have to hunt pretty hard for the GR-300. But there has to be some out there somewhere. Hope this helps a little.

    Although,many jammin guitarist play Ibanez models,we forget that an Ibanez guitar is a work or art!Who really cares that John Petrucci or Fear Factory plays them?Imean even if no one endorsed Ibanez guitars. I personally would prefer my RG520 QSTBK over any Jackson soloist or Dk model!!So dont be mad thats just my opinion.Bands that rule the music charts just so happen to play the most comfortable guitar right out of the box to date.Ibanez is the serious guitarist choice!!

      : terve toivoo Jarkki

      your Guitar was made in 1977. Before 1990, Ibanez had a different serial number system. The letter stands for what country it was made in (F for Japan, I forgot the other one)and the 2 numbers after that were the year. The other 4 were the serial number.

          Don

          : I just bought one too – where do I find the serial#?? so I can get a date

          The serial is located on inside the body, on the neck block.
          use a flashlight to see it.
          If the first is a letter, that would be the month it was made. Mine has an A for august. the next 2 numbers are the year. All Ibanez have serial numbers, you just have to look for them. Of course the model number will be on the paper sticker, if your lucky and nobody removed it.

        I have got one the same, solid maple. I would like to get a value also. The local guitar shop folk indicated that it was probably worth around NZ$1500.00 OR US$750.00.
        Can anyone confirm?
