It isn’t uncommon for highly expensive
collector’s instruments made in boutique
shops, one at a time, to achieve the extreme
levels of precision desired by today’s pro player.
But our Ibanez luthiers in Japan are some of the very few
–some even say the only–guitar and bass makers that can
achieve that consistent level of crasmanship in instru-
ments for the working player. So it’s not surprising that
artists and music shops with a pro clientele have clamored
for more Japanese-made models. And because we’re
Ibanez, we’ve listened. Now in 2009, all Ibanez Prestige
guitars and basses will be made exclusively in Japan.
