With a release as big as this, it can get pretty overwhelming—so we've highlighted some of our favorite models with their key specs to keep browsing a breeze!

IBANEZ ELECTRIC GUITARS

Founded in 1935 as Hoshino’s Spanish-style guitar division, Ibanez began garnering a reputation by the 1980s in the U.S. for its shred-ready appointments, like fast, skinny necks, high-output humbuckers, deep cutaways, and locking tremolo systems—all of which quickly made Ibanez one of the most popular brands among modern guitarists.

Carrying this ethos forward, new additions from the AZ line at CME embody time-tested Ibanez innovation and player-focused features like a smooth, oval neck grip, a well-balanced asymmetrical body shape, and the neck heel allowing for unrivaled playability. For blues players and jazz cats, the new Ibanez Artcore AS and AG models feature Super 58 pickups and are built to tackle just about any genre of music you throw at them! For the most recognizable and distinctive guitar in the Ibanez line, check out the RG series’ high-performance machines, honed for both speed and strength. Plus, the S series models now available at CME continue to be a marvel of form and function and remain at the cutting edge of Ibanez design!

IBANEZ BASS GUITARS

Check out the new Ibanez bass models in CME’s BASSment, including the new 25th Anniversary Gary Willis Signature 5-string bass! Plus, Ibanez SR Standard bass guitars offer bassists a modern alternative, boasting a smooth, fast neck, lightweight body, and electronics to match the wider needs of various players, across a range of budget options! Or, the Talman bass series combines the re-emergence of a historic body shape with powerful genre-hopping versatility, plus a TMB electronic system, paving the road to a variety of classic tones!
