Up for sale, a 2019 Ibanez Prestige S5221BWE in showroom-clean, 100% original condition and in perfect working order, complete with the original molded hardshell case and hangtags. Produced as part of the upper-tiered Prestige line at the Fujigen factory in Japan, this rare Ibanez model features a black and white ebony top (complete with matching peghead veneer) framed by a gloss Transparent Black Sunburst finish, a Gibraltar Standard II hardtail bridge, Gotoh SG381 MG-T locking tuners, and a pair of Bare Knuckle Brute Force humbuckers.
Beyond the distinctive ebony top, tonewoods include an slender African mahogany body, three-piece maple neck, and 24-fret Macassar ebony fretboard. The hand-wound Bare Knuckle Brute Force humbuckers feature ceramic magnets, boasting plenty of output and power, built for super fat cleans and deep, saturated drive tones. The neck pickup is very broad and warm-sounding, with tons of harmonic complexity, while the bridge is aggressive and pointed, particularly well-suited for searing modern high-gain leads. A two-way global coil tap mini-toggle enables single coil snap and cut. This Prestige S5221BWE weighs 7lbs 1oz, professionally setup here at Mike & Mike’s Guitar Bar with 9-42 strings, slinky action, and accurate intonation.
