NAMM 2011: The Ibanez stand in pictures

News
By Stuart Williams published 22 January 2011

Ibanez released a number of new products at NAMM, here are a few that caught our eye when we visited the stand.

When you purchase through links on our site, we may earn an affiliate commission. Here’s how it works.

Ibanez JD9 and BB9

Ibanez JD9 and BB9

New additions to Ibanez's pedal line include the hard-clipping JD9 Jet Drive, and BB9. BB stands for Bottom Booster, don't you know.

Ibanez Sam Totman STM2SPB

Ibanez Sam Totman STM2SPB

Hermann Li's second Ibanez model was released last year, but this year is Sam Totman's turn. Sam's new guitar features the classic Iceman shape, but he's added DiMarzio Evolution pickups, an Edge III vibrato and a thru-neck. The UK price is still to be confirmed, but expect this one to be more affordable than the original.

Ibanez J Custom RG8570Z

Mmm...flamey. If guitar bling gets your overdraft melting then you'll find it hard to ignore the J Custom's plumage.

Korn's main-man has helped to shift more than his fair share of seven-strings. Here's his 2011 model, complete with a U-bar on the bridge.

Ibanez Art500E

Ibanez Art500E

There's something about a singlecut in flat white that we find hard to resist. This one has a 24.75 inch scale, and an active EMG 60/81 pickup combo. We're told it'll be competitively priced too.

Ibanez RG Extreme RG2011

Ibanez RG Extreme RG2011

How does one go about re-inventing one of the most popular metal guitars ever made? Why, one would give it a 30 fret fingerboard, lose the neck pickup and add some extreme cutouts, of course.

Ibanez PGB2T Paul Gray Tribute Bass

Ibanez PGB2T Paul Gray Tribute Bass

Slipknot’s Paul Gray was undoubtedly one of Ibanez’s biggest bass ambassadors. Following Paul’s tragic death last year, Ibanez has released the PGB2T Paul Gray Tribute Bass.

The bass – created with Paul’s family and Slipknot’s management – was on display for the first time at NAMM, featuring a Paul Gray graphic finish, complete with Slipknot logo. The PGB2T is expected to retail for around $399, with UK prices tbc. A portion of all proceeds from the bass will go to a special trust fund set up for Paul’s family.
