NAMM 2023: Ibanez launches 7 new signature models
NAMM 2023: Ibanez has launched seven new signature models, with exciting new guitars for Joe Satriani, Steve Vai, Paul Stanley, Lari Basilio, Martin Miller, and Ichika Nito.
Ibanez isn’t the only brand serving up a healthy feast of new signature models – ESP unveiled 12 new models also at NAMM, including guitars for Metallica’s James Hetfield, Nergal of Behemoth, Deftones’ Stephen Carpenter and many more.
Rivalling the launches, Ibanez has celebrated the long-standing relationships it has with some of its biggest endorsees, and some of its newer faces too.
Check them out below:
LB1 for Lari Basilio
This highly-decorated axe celebrates 35 years of partnership between the brand and Vai. It uses his signature PIA format, with a hydro-dipped multi colour finish (called “Brilliance of Now”, hence the “BON” in its name).
It has an alder body, with the classic Petal Grip carry handles that makes any Vai guitar instantly recognisable. It’s got a five-piece maple and walnut neck, Low-Pro Edge double-locking vibrato, and a high-pass filter on the volume control. Pickups are Vai’s signature DiMarzio UtoPIA set. It has an estimated price of $8,499.
