Ibanez S520AH S Standard Electric Guitar
Description
The Ibanez S520AH S Standard electric guitar delivers high-performance playability and sleek aesthetics in a streamlined, ultralightweight design. Part of Ibanez’s iconic S series, the S520AH features a contoured ash body that’s remarkably thin without sacrificing resonance or sustain. With a fast Wizard III maple neck, Quantum humbuckers and the Edge-Zero II tremolo system, this guitar is made for players who crave speed, precision and tonal flexibility. Whether you’re riffing hard or soloing with finesse, the S520AH offers effortless performance and modern tone in a cutting-edge package.
Wizard III Neck for Fast and Fluid Playing
The S520AH is equipped with Ibanez’s renowned Wizard III maple neck—known for its thin, flat profile and ultrafast playability. It features a 24-fret rosewood fingerboard with jumbo frets for smooth, articulate runs across two full octaves. Whether you’re shredding lead lines or exploring chordal textures, the neck’s low-profile design allows for unmatched comfort and control.
Quantum Humbucker Pickups for Articulate, High-Speed Tone
Loaded with a pair of Quantum humbuckers, the S520AH delivers tight, punchy tone with accelerated bass response and high-end clarity. These pickups are designed for fast, responsive tracking—ideal for staccato riffing, sweeping solos and palm-muted chugs. With its balanced midrange and wide dynamic range, the S520AH excels in hard rock, metal and beyond.
Edge-Zero II Tremolo for Stability and Comfort
The Edge-Zero II tremolo bridge provides a lower profile design for enhanced playing comfort while maintaining the stability and tuning precision demanded by modern players. Its stud-lock function keeps everything in place, even through aggressive divebombs and expressive vibrato. Combined with locking tuners, this system ensures your tuning stays tight through any performance.
Distinctive S Series Body Design
True to the S series legacy, the S520AH features a sculpted ash body that is both visually striking and ergonomically comfortable. Lightweight yet tonally resonant, the guitar is designed for hours of fatigue-free playing without compromising on sustain or output. The deep cutaways and sleek contours provide full access to the upper frets and a bold, stage-ready silhouette.
