FOR DECADES, metal guitarists have favored Ibanez electric guitars for their flat fretboard, greasy-fast playability and modernized double locking tremolos. But for a guitar to appeal to devoted metalists, it must do more than play like the devil; it has to look the part, as well. Guitar SuperStore - Best Prices, Most Reliable Source, Free Shipping

After the success of the mildly radical Iceman guitar, Ibanez was convinced that the time was right to build a truly outrageous instrument.  The new Xiphos is the company's first guitar specifically built for hardcore and metal players. The Xiphos Ibanez electric guitar takes its name from the brutally effective double-edged sword used by Greek and Spartan soldiers, and true to form, it delivers notes with surgical precision.  It is one of the fastest guitars in the Ibanez armory, and its specially selected DiMarzio D Activator pickups give it a truly demonic edge.

Ibanez Xiphos XPT700 Electric Guitar

FEATURES

THE CHALLENGE FOR Ibanez's electric guitar designers was to create a guitar shape that was incredibly aggressive without giving up any of Ibanez's famous comfort and playability. They achieved this by building the guitar around a five-piece maple Wizard II neck-through design. This rock-hard centerpiece creates enormous sustain, and because the bridge is mounted in this same dense plank, note definition and clarity are maximized.  The remainder of the radical X-shaped body is made from mahogany, which adds warmth and depth to the maple's bright core. Although the Xiphos' long beveled points may look unwieldy, the guitar is surprisingly lightweight and superbly balanced.

An Ibanez electric guitar this wild would not be complete with an off-the shelf finish. So Ibanez chose to cover the Xiphos in a sparkling color-shifting paint that they call their Chameleon finish. As you move the guitar, its finish appears to quickly change colors, like an alien cyber skin.  The Wizard II's neck shape is thin but not squared, and its somewhat rounded feel is enhanced by the thick Chameleon finish. The fl at fretboard and jumbo frets produce Ibanez's trademark feel. Only a light touch is required to sound a note, and the action is low and level. This style of neck is purpose built for the player that wants to play fast, sweep through the strings, use two-handed techniques and move across the board in a nonlinear fashion.
