PRESS RELEASE

New Ibanez Prestige Models With New Edge-Pro and ZR Locking Trems

S1620FBNT
January 20, 2003

Ibanez has expanded the number of high-end Ibanez Prestige models. Prestige guitar and bass are made in Japan by Ibanez's most experienced luthiers using sophisticated guitar making technology. Each instrument features extra steps of finishing to give the comfortable feel of necks broken and rounded by years of dedicated playing. In addition, Prestige models also feature many deluxe and high tech electronics and appointments.

For 2003, Ibanez Prestige electric guitars featuring double-locking tremolo systems are now equipped with the new Edge-Pro (on Prestige RG models) and ZR tremolos (on S models).

The RG1550 (the new Prestige version of the classic RG550) features the Edge-Pro, the lowest profile tremolo Ibanez has ever made.

The S1650 is equipped with the ZR (Zero Resistance) tremolo, which uses roller bearings for super smooth action and superior return to pitch.
