The T1802 tremolo bridge features machined titanium saddles and a machined steel tremolo block for fast response, dense lows, and bright highs. The 10.5 mm string spacing allows for easy string-to-string playing, and its pressure-fit construction makes installing a tremolo arm effortless.

The dyna-MIX 9 offers nine tonal variations and allows easy switching between humbucker and single-coil modes with the mini toggle switch. One mode even simulates a humbucker sound by combining the two single-coil pickups.

The Seymour Duncan Hyperion pickups feature moderate output with Alnico-5 magnets to maintain fundamental tone clarity when using distortion and deliver a clear pick attack. From highs to lows, the overall tonal balance is smooth and works well with various effects pedals.

About S-Tech

The special S-TECH roasting treatment enhances the wood’s stability, durability, water resistance, and tolerance to temperature changes. The neck is sealed with an oil finish that gives it the feel of a well-played guitar neck.

This treatment provides superior attack and a well-balanced tone with rich sustain. For maximum neck comfort, the fingerboard edges are rounded.

About Ibanez

Ibanez is a Japan-based manufacturer of guitars and basses. The brand name comes from Spanish luthier Salvador Ibañez, whose exceptional guitars were distributed in Japan by Hoshino Gakki. The 1929 recession hit the company hard, leading to its closure in 1933. With the Japanese market left underserved, the importer decided in 1935 to start producing Spanish-style guitars locally under the name "Ibanez Salvador," which was later shortened to "Ibanez."
