Which is why our 2005 Ibanez catalog has changed. Weve gone a little upscale. This catalog is larger than anything
weve ever done before. Thats because our 2005 Ibanez lineup of guitars, basses, ampliers and effects is larger and
more varied than anything weve ever done before. We think that says something.
All the new gear simply wouldnt t in an ordinary catalog. And an ordinary catalog simply wouldnt do justice to
our expanded line of Prestige guitars and basses. On the other hand an ordinary catalog wouldnt do justice to the
expanded lineup of what made Ibanez famous: great sounding, high quality, easy playing, AFFORDABLE instruments
for everyone from the beginner to the working pro. That hasnt changed. It never will.
One huge reason Ibanez represents change is because we constantly watch what our artists are doing and listen to
what theyre thinking and playing. Thats not as serious as it sounds. A lot of times its a whole lot of fun.
Which is why this catalog not only goes upscale, it goes backstage. So you can share in some of the fun. Some of our
artists have obliged us by giving us their own snapshots of life on the road. You can compare them to your own experi-
ences or get prepared for your own rst tours. Or you may even decide, you know, come to think of it, Id rather just play
at home. Thats okay. As long as you keep playing. Because thats another thing that should never change.
All 2005 electric guitars (except the GIO models) are equipped with DAddario strings.

In the last two decades, no other guitar maker has done so much to advance the art
and science of the tremolo. The Edge-PRO, Edge-PRO II, and the new Edge III represent
signicant advances in the evolution of the locking tremolo.
Edge-PRO
Edge-PRO
The Edge-PRO features a unique Sound Metal Chip on each saddle which help
increase sustain right at the most critical area, the intonation point.
To avoid the problem of string holder blocks getting lost during string changes,
the Edge-PROs sliding string holders are actually part of the bridge and wont
drop from the saddle unit. With the Edge-PRO design, theres no need to cut off
the ball of your strings when installing new strings.
Edge-PRO II
Edge-PRO II
Like the Edge-PRO, the Edge-PRO II features sliding string
holders and string balls do not have to be cut off.
Edge III
Edge III
The new Edge III is similar in construction and
feel to the original Edge locking trem, however
it also features lower prole ne-tuners
inspired by the Lo-PRO Edge and massive
new-design saddles.
Edge III
The ZR tremolo may be the most signicant advance in locking tremolos since the rst
locking tremolo. Most oating tremolos use a knife-edge system, but the ZR tremolo uses a
ball-bearing based system for precision and friction-free smooth action.

Two years ago, Ibanez offered an original
design mini-jumbo-sized guitar
known as the JX. We discontinued it in favor
of other designs because we
thought no was interested. We were wron
g. (And did we hear about it.) So to
make things right, weve incorporated the
rock and roll JX body shape into our
new AES line. The AES features the smal
lest and slenderest body of the Ibanez
AE acoustic-electric lineup.

The AEF is the original AE shape, which offers a narrow, feedback resistant
body for comfort, clear highs, strong midrange punch and powerful projection.
In the greatly expanded AE line-up, the AEF body is more compact than the
AEL, but larger than the AES and AEG. 107

Over 20 years ago, Ibanez had one of
the most impressive selections of
traditional fretted instruments in the
business, including some very ne man
dolins. We are extremely proud that our -
Ibanez mandolins met the very high
standards of Mr. Bill Monroe, the Fath
er of Bluegrass Music, who played one
for a time We are very pleased to retur
n our mandolins to the Ibanez family
fretted instruments. As with the origi of
nal Ibanez of the 70s and 80s, our 2005
line-up of mandolins adheres to the
highest standards of Ibanez craftsma
while still offering a price that the work nship
ing musician can afford.
For the traditional player who eschews
anything electric, we offer two pure
acoustic mandolins. The standard mod
el, the M510BS, features a mahogany
body. The deluxe M511BS features a
solid top for a sound that improves with
age and a maple body for brilliant high
s and projection, For the less tradi-
tional player, the M510EBS features
a piezo pickup and tone controls to mak
sure the incomparable sound of the man e
dolin can be heard in any venue.
