Staggered Strings And Set-In Necks For All-New Ibanez AX

January 20, 2003

AXS32DRF

Ibanez adds new set-in neck models to its line of AX guitars. Along with the increased sustain and easier upper fret access afforded by a mahogany set-in neck (standard AX's feature bolt-on maple neck), the new AXS32 models sport a special hair-line pickguard for an appearance that's an interesting combination of high tech and retro.

Sustain is also increased by thru-body stringing which also results in more consistent string-to-string feel as the string holes are staggered to compensate for different string tensions.

The new AXS32 models are available three finishes: DRF (Dark Red Stained Flat), and TKF (Transparent Black Flat). The list price is $529.99
