Electric Guitars, Electric Basses,

Amplifiers, Effects & Accessories

Youve changed.
What, how and where youre playing is different than what, how and where people were playing 50 years agoor
even last year. Thats why Ibanez represents change. Some players and some companies play it safe and rest on
what they did in the past. Ibanez and Ibanez players look forward and take risks.

Which is why our 2005 Ibanez catalog has changed. Weve gone a little upscale. This catalog is larger than anything
weve ever done before. Thats because our 2005 Ibanez lineup of guitars, basses, amplifiers and effects is larger and
more varied than anything weve ever done before. We think that says something.

All the new gear simply wouldnt fit in an ordinary catalog. And an ordinary catalog simply wouldnt do justice to
our expanded line of Prestige guitars and basses. On the other hand an ordinary catalog wouldnt do justice to the
expanded lineup of what made Ibanez famous: great sounding, high quality, easy playing, AFFORDABLE instruments
for everyone from the beginner to the working pro. That hasnt changed. It never will.

One huge reason Ibanez represents change is because we constantly watch what our artists are doing and listen to
what theyre thinking and playing. Thats not as serious as it sounds. A lot of times its a whole lot of fun.

Which is why this catalog not only goes upscale, it goes backstage. So you can share in some of the fun. Some of our
artists have obliged us by giving us their own snapshots of life on the road. You can compare them to your own experi-
ences or get prepared for your own first tours. Or you may even decide, you know, come to think of it, Id rather just play
at home. Thats okay. As long as you keep playing. Because thats another thing that should never change.

Ibanez Artist guitars offer the full, meaty sound
of the other famous mahogany classic, but at a
better price and with better hardware. 2005 Artists
feature the original body size and neck for that
great 70s sound and feel.
The Jet Kings bring back the funky vibe of the
pastwith a lot more tonal versatility and without the
bad tuning. The JTK1 is for players who want a lighter
axe with a thinner neck. The JTK2 is for players who
want a big mahogany body with a thicker neck.
The Destroyers name says pretty much everything
that needs to be said. For the player for whom too
much mahogany tone is not enough.
Ibanez now features two versions of the original
Iceman design, the set-neck IC400 and the bolt-
neck IC200. The new ICX is a modernized, compact
version of the Iceman. The 2005 ICX, the ICX220,
gets something the original Icemans didnt have, a
24-fret neck as does the RVX220, an entirely new
take on the classic V theme.
