Music Experience proudly presents Ichika’s second signature guitar, the Ibanez Ichika Signature ICHI00. This solidbody electric features a comfortable nyatoh body based on Ibanez’s Talman. The body is loaded with three ICHI-S single-coil pickups, which deliver a clean sound full of spank and sparkle. You also get a roasted maple neck for extra resonance. The neck’s Wizard C neck profile, rosewood fingerboard, and medium frets provide the perfect platform for the technical playing and tapping Ichika is known for. Other fantastic features include a T106 tremolo bridge and tailpiece, locking Gotoh tuners, and luminescent side dots. Want to know more about this stunning 6-string? Read on.
The Ichika Signature ICHI00 is loaded with three ICHI-S single-coil pickups. Ibanez worked closely with Ichika Nito to design pickups that fit his clean, technical style. These custom-voiced pickups perfectly encapsulate his unique and experimental tone. You get a 5-way pickup selector switch and master volume and tone knobs to shape your sound. Plug into your favorite amplifier or amp-emulation plug-in, and the ICHI-S pickups effortlessly float to the top of any arrangement you come up with.
Technical players like Ichika need necks that encourage them to reach new playing heights, not slow down. Music Experience is pleased to report that the Ichika Signature ICHI00 comes ready for battle with a maple neck carved into a Wizard C profile. Ibanez’s Wizard necks are legendary for their paper-thin nature and fluid playability. The Wizard C neck shape is ever so slightly chunkier than the Wizard III neck. This gives you a bit more wood to grab onto, increasing comfort when chording. The neck comes topped by a rosewood fingerboard and medium nickel fret.
Look closer at the Ichika Signature ICHI00 and you’ll find a bounty of player-centered additions. First, you get a T106 tremolo bridge, which enables expressive playing options from gentle warbles to gargantuan dive bombs. The bridge features six independent saddles, each with precise intonation and height-adjustment capabilities. Next, Gotoh MG-T tuning machines help you stay in tune. And if you ever break a string, the locking tuners make string changes fast and hassle-free. Finally, the rosewood fingerboard is equipped with luminescent side dots to help you navigate up and down the neck while onstage.

Nyatoh used as the body wood provides a rich mid-low end.
Ichika and Ibanez jointly developed these 'ICHI-S' pickups to perfectly express the 'Ichika sound'.
The Gotoh® MG-T locking machine heads achieve incredible tuning stability, cutting down string-changing time.
The T106 tremolo bridge with 6 independent saddles makes precise height and intonation adjustment of each string easy.
