Have you seen the headlines? "Guitar rock is back."

We're happy to hear it. Except at Ibanez, guitar rock never "left"

—and if you're the type of player who reads Ibanez catalogs,

you've been too busy playing guitar or bass to worry a whole

lot about the media's take on music. However, the papers are

right about one thing: there are more new guitar and bass guitar

styles than ever before. That's why there are more different

kinds of guitars and basses in the 2003 Ibanez line up.

Our established lines have evolved. The new Edge Pro and ZR

tremolo systems and other new hardware move guitar technology

several generations ahead. As you page through the catalog,

you'll see a greatly expanded number of Prestige models.

These precision instruments combine museum class beauty

with roadhouse toughness. However, don't let the silky playa-

bility or collector's item looks fool you—Prestige guitars and

basses are tagged with prices the working player can afford.

We've also entered new territories. Our new RKB bass, and

the new Artcore, SZ and Jet King guitars are specifically

designed for the new playing styles—but they'll also work

perfectly for anyone who just wants quality, tone and plug-in-

and-play simplicity. And after several years of requests from

both Ibanez artists and retailers and a whole lot of R&D, we're

ready to roll out our first 100 watt stack and combo amps as

well as our first amp with DSP.

With so much new guitar and bass gear, the whole question of

where the guitar went seems kind of pointless. Besides, for those

of us who love guitars and basses—whether for garage rock,

nu-metal, jazz, country, r&b or stuff that's too new to have a

name yet—there have been, are, and always will be guitars.

Peace.

Key Features (ND)

- Based on the classic Ibanez Talman models thatNoodles has played since 1993.

- Basswood body hand wrapped in duct tape and finished in high-gloss poly.

- Fixed bridge with steel saddles offers durability, simplicity and strong sustain.

- 28" scale baritone neck offers the ability to achieve all kinds of low tunings.

- Super 58 pickups custom wound for baritone.

- Tuning machines feature low string posts for higher string tension off the nut.

Duct tape is so much a part of what wemusicians do on the road—plus there arealready lots of pretty guitars on the marketthat are very expensive, but aren't really"players." But this is a real, rugged, solid guitarthat's also unique. Each guitar is individuallywrapped, so every one is going to have its own'fingerprint.' You're not going to find anotherguitar like it. And on top of all that, it's just aneasy playing, versatile guitar that you can geta bunch of great sounds out of. I really amstoked with how this has all turned out."

- Noodles

Why a baritone? Because it goes to 11. Withthe baritone guitar's higher neck tension,I can tune down low and play with heavierstrings and not have them feel like rubberbands. With a regular guitar, tuning down canbecome a real nightmare with the guitar goingin and out of tune. But with my signature guitar,I can bite into it and play aggressively."

It took many years to create guitars that could satisfythe Master of Tone—but the results have been worth it.Joe Satriani's signature guitars aren't simply a tribute tothe man who has kept the torch burning for instrumentalrock, they're the perfect vehicle for an artist who canput as much intensity into a whole note as he doeswith a light speed phrase.

The debut of the Steve Vai's JEM in 1987 and the introductionof his Universe 7-string changed everything. It's impossiblethink of any one person who has done more for the evolution of Ibanez guitars than Steve Vai.

One of the first original Ibanez designs, the Artist remainsthe more comfortable AND more affordable alternative tothe other famous two-humbucker mahogany guitar. And thisclassic has the superior hardware.

Key Features (ARTCORE)

- Huge assortment of styles…from big and small bodied full hollows tosmall bodied semi-acoustics, including the classic Ibanez Talman shape.

- Original design Vintage Vibrato with roller saddle bridge. All the greatvibe of the classic trems—with none of their traditional tuning glitches.

- Medium output Artcore pickups accurately reproduce out cool, complex tones of a hollow AND work well with effects.

- The great upper fret access and sustain of a set-in neck…at the price of a bolt-on.

When Artcore guitars debuted in summer 2002, they turnedthe music industry upside down. No longer were full andsemi-acoustic guitars just big expensive jazz boxes for jazzplayers only—even some of our competitors bought them(no, we're not making this up). With Artcore guitars you getan amazingly affordable price plus the quality and tone youexpect from Ibanez, the guitar company with over fourdecades of experience making full and semi-acoustic guitars.

Ibanez Vintage VibratoIbanez offers three versions of theVintage Vibrato that recreate the greatvibe of the old trems, with one majordifference: ours works. Fully functionalroller saddles on the ART2 bridge helpeliminate the tuning problems andglitches that kept the traditional systemsshort of complete coolness.

Set-In NecksMost full and semi-acousticsin the Artcore price range usecheaper-to-make, bolt-on necks.Artcore guitars feature pain-stakingly crafted set-in necksfor fuller tone, more sustainand easier upper fret access.

"The JSM100 is a top-of-the-line instrument built to function as a workhorse, but designed for players who can appreciate the finer qualities in a guitar’s design and features."

– Lisa Sharken, Vintage Guitar Magazine

"The guitar is as good as the player whose name is on it."– David Zaworski, Downbeat Magazine

Key Features (AF/AS)

- AF models are true full hollow bodieswith standard jazz bracing.

- AS semi-acoustics feature sound blocksto reduce feedback and increase sustain.

- AF207 is the seven-string jazz box theworking player can actually afford.

Key Features (ARTCORE)- Succeeds the classic AS200 with designs and features

ordained by the AS200's most famous player.- AR/AS style headstock for better balance. - Gotoh 510 machines, Super 58 pickups and untraditional

side output jack. - Classic Ibanez half-brass, half-bone nut for perfect

balance of highs and lows.

Most of the time, Ibanez is known for being "anything but traditional."But when it comes to our full hollow jazz guitars, we are strictly traditional.Which is why our AF full hollow jazz guitars are truly full hollow: you won’tfind the soundblocks you find in many so-called "full hollow" guitars.

On the other hand, our AS models are designed for jazz and then some.So you will find maple soundblocks, fitted precisely into the tops and backsof AS guitars, to reduce feedback and increase sustain.

Based on the AS200AV, the longest running model inour history, the John Scofield signature models is awell deserved tribute to the man whose artistry whomade the AS200AV famous. The JSM100VT has allthe features John loved in his old AS200 and all thenew features he wished it had.

Do you revere traditional jazz, but also findyourself drawn to playing jazz of less traditionalstyles or volume? Pat Metheny's signaturemodels have the versatility, tone and upper fretaccess to allow you to effortlessly travel backand forth across the musical borders.

Key Features (BTB)- Custom designed Bartolini active EQ's and passive humbucking

pickups (on BTB500/1000 models) designed for the 35" neck scale.- 18 volt EQ circuitry provides much greater headroom than found

on standard active EQ's (except BTB300).- 35" neck scale provides superior articulation. Perfect for

5-strings and detuned 4-strings. Standard 34" scale is availableon the new BTB300 models.

- Off-center line neck shape (BTB500/1000) makes upper fret workas easy as playing the lower frets.

The BTB Series provides all the features, quality and soundof a boutique bass with one significant omission: no expensiveboutique price tag. Everything else is here: the pickups arepassive, the body is full, and the neck is substantial. With theBTB's extra long neck scale, the tension is nice and tight—there's no flopping in the low end and the high strings ringout and sustain better. For 2003 we've added the even moreaffordable BTB300 for players who prefer the size, feel andtension of a standard 34" scale neck.

If you've wanted the added low-end of a low B string– or you already have one but never felt comfortable withthe additional neck girth – consider the incomparablevirtues of a Soundgear 5-string. Ibanez Soundgears arefitted with the thinnest neck of any 5-string anywhere. Andwhile the necks and nuts are narrow, the selection ofSoundgear 5-strings is as wide as it gets–everything fromlow-price to high Prestige and everything in between.

With a 6-string, there are no limits: you can plumb thedepths with the low-B string or explore the stratospherewith the high C. The Soundgear's design is perfect forthe 6-string. The Soundgear's slender but strong neckhas just the right spacing and the pickups perfectly bal-ance the different outputs of the low and high strings.

Why is the newest name in amps the fast growing name in amps?Because Ibanez recognized that the world didn't need another amp dedicatedto recreating the sounds of yester year. Instead we came with amps spec'edand voiced for today's tones. Obviously, we did something right, becauseplayers and retailers kept telling us they wanted more—and they wantedbigger. For 2003, after endless hours of R&D and testing, here is more andbigger: the new Ibanez 100 watt stack and combo amplifiers.

Our 100 watt Tone Blasters aren't for players looking for something that imitateswhat's already out there—old or new. Ibanez amps have their own soundcharacter. They're designed for players who want a powerful amp with raw,edgy and aggressive tones—and doesn't sound like anything or anyone else.

Tone Blaster cabinets feature closed backs for tight low end. The 4 x 12 cabsare divided into two separate compartments of two 12's each so there's nosound compromise caused by standing waves. Tone Blaster speakers weredesigned to have the tight bottom end of the classic British 12's, but with moretreble response (especially useful for players who use a lot of distortion).

on the outside, Tone-Lok effects are equipped with ourexclusive "set and forget" Push-Lok rotary pots. Push theknobs down and your tone settings lock securely insidethe case. No more lost settings or knobs broken by club-footed club owners staggering about the stage.

On the inside, Tone-Lok pedals feature hi-fidelity componentscarefully tweaked with the constant input from a new genera-tion of Ibanez players. And all this great stuff comes encasedin cool looking, road tough metal boxes at prices theworking player can afford.

DS7 DistortionThe most versatile Ibanez distortionpedal ever, the DS7 is capableof producing a wide range ofsmooth, dynamic overdrive tones.From a subtle tonal nudge towalloping rock n roll crunch, theDS7 delivers days of sustain andgobs of gain.

SM7 SmashboxThe Smashbox is the most aggres-sive weapon in the Tone-Lok dis-tortion arsenal. Armed with obsceneamounts of gain, tight low end,and searing highs, the Smashboxis THE heavy rock sound for thecontemporary guitarist.

TS7 TubescreamerThe Tubescreamer isn't just astompbox, it's an institution. Ourlatest generation Tubescreamer,the TS7, is no exception. With theTubescreamer’s classic subtle-but-smooth overdrive, the TS7expands the expressiveness ofyour guitar while maintaining itstonal integrity. Tone adjustmentsare provided by the classic threeknob configuration with an added"hot" switch for an extra gain boost.

FZ7 FuzzFar out! A complete 60's flashbackwith none of the drawbacks, theFZ7 is the ultimate in psychedelicfuzz. With the FZ7's tone, drive,and level controls, it's never beeneasier to get the right retro tones.You can even engage the DAMAGEswitch for that ratty, brokenspeaker sound. Yeah, baby, yeah!!Dial in, tune up, drop down orwhatever turns you on.

PD7 Phat-HedWhy let guitarists rule the stage? Loadedwith growling low-end distortion, the PD7levels the playing field for the rock bassist.The PD7 is armed with three pre-amp stylevoicings and an attack control switch,which accents the amount of harmoniccontent in your sound. With DRIVE, LO, HI,and LEVEL knobs, dialing in a thunderousbass sound has never been easier.

LF7 Lo FiThe first dedicated filter pedal for theguitar, the LF7's voltage controlled analoghigh and low pass filters allow you toemulate transistor radio and megaphonetype sounds. Best used at the end of asignal chain in combination with otherpedals, this ticking time bomb createswide soundscapes of far out tones thatpreviously required a massive rack ofanalog electronics.The Lo Fi also performsequally well with vocals, drum machinesor in any "mix-down" context.

DE7 Stereo Delay/EchoAdd new dimensions to your sound withthe DE7 Delay/Echo pedal. Get the best ofboth worlds: high tech digital soundscomparable to expensive rack units orwarm vintage tape echo sounds–all witha simple flick of the switch. TIME, REPEATand LEVEL controls help you dial in justthe right amount of delay, while stereooutputs can be used for a more spacioussound. With a range of 30ms to 2.6 sec-onds, the DE7 is the only sound solutionfor every playing situation.

PH7 PhaserDesigned to emulate the effect of a rotatingspeaker, the PH7 has a switchable phasecircuit capable of either four or eightstages of smooth phasing. With thesetwo very different tonal modes, you cango from a subtle shimmer to all out 70's"Let’s Get Funky" phasing.

CF7 Stereo Chorus/FlangerThe CF7 creates shimmering sound-scapes, whooshing jet plane sounds, andcontemporary "Korny" chirps and blurbs.The schizo "KRAZY" switch lets the CF7 bea conservative Dr. Jekyll with the "NORMAL"mode (classic chorus and flanger). Or youcan turn the pedal into the proverbial Mr.Hyde...the "WHACK'D" mode imitates thecontemporary modulation sounds used bytoday’s phattest rock bands. It’s like gettingtwo pedals in one.

PM7 Phase ModulatorIf you've gone through one phase afteranother, maybe it's time for the finalphase. The PM7 Phase Modulator offersthree types of waveforms to give youeverything from classic phaser to DJeffects to toy ray gun sounds. Since goodthings come in threes, the PM7 also hasthree phase stages: vintage, deep and dry,and deep and pronounced. With someminor tweaking, the PM7 goes from tradi-tional to 21st century and beyond.

SB7 Synthesizer Bass If you're looking for new tones or you'restill smoldering with resentment againstsynth bass keyboard players who tookour gigs in the 80's, the SB7 is the ticket.You've got real time feel—in other wordsno annoying tracking errors and delays.You can even play chords.

AW7 Autowah There are autowahs. And there areautowahs. But the Tone-Lok AW7 isn'tjust any autowah. It's got standard wahwhere both the highs and lows are cutand it's got a wah setting where the onlythe highs are cut. And it's got distortion.A notch filter provides the sound of astandard wah pedal left at one setting(a favorite wah pedal technique of JoeSatriani). You can even change the chainorder of the effects to get different tones:either distortion to wah or wah to distortion.

The TS9 reissue features the samecareful hand wiring and analog circuitryas the original classic. Like almost allof the original TS9's, our reissue featuresthe 75557 IC chip. The TS9DX Turbo TubeScreamer features the slightly warmer 4558IC found in most of the old TS808 TubeScreamers and also offers three newsettings for increased low end crunch:+, Hot, and Turbo.

"Lok’ed and Loaded! With their tough metal cases and retracting controls, these sonically brutal Ibanez Tone-Lok pedals can take as much punishment as they dish out."
