The Ibanez SA series electric guitar has won over legions of devotees the past two decades as a great go-to axe for players looking for top-notch playability, comfort, and tonal versatility. The SA260FM features a bound mahogany body and a gorgeous flamed maple arched top for warm, thick tone. A slim, fast-response maple neck, all-access neck joint, and scoop cut on the back of the body deliver stellar comfort when playing. Two single-coil pickups and one humbucking pickup kick out a massive array of tonal options. And a T102 tremolo gives you even more options for shaping your sound and style.
The Ibanez SA260FM features a T102 tremolo, which provides excellent tuning stability, string tension, and killer sustain — the type of tonal styling that translates to great rock and roll sound. In addition, the maple neck with jatoba fingerboard with 22 medium frets responds beautifully in your hands whether chording or ripping off fast leads.
With one Quantum humbucking pickup at the bridge, two single-coil pickups at the neck and middle positions, and 5-way switching, you'll be able to shape your tone any way you like. The Quantum humbucker offers plenty of punch and output to drive your favorite amplifiers or distortion stompboxes. It also puts out clear top end and full lows, fantastic sound throughout a wide variety of additional styles. Although the Ibanez SA will forever be known as a rock guitar, the SA260FM's fast playability, extreme comfort, and tonal variety make it a great guitar for a whole lot more.
From huge dive-bombs to subtle vibrato to stutter-like warbling, the Ibanez SA260FM's tremolo is ready for anything you throw at it. When not in use, the tremolo is solid and in tune; when in use it does your bidding down to the microtone. Whether you need the trem for cool '50s-era dips or massive metal dives, the Ibanez SA260FM is ready.
Ibanez builds guitars for players of all levels—from beginners to the most demanding masters of the instrument. Regardless of price, Ibanez always strives to offer the absolute best sound, style, and playability in its class. The Standard series incorporates all the staples the Ibanez brand is famous for, such as fast necks, floating trems, and high-octane distortion in a package that is available and accessible to most players.
