What could a 19th Century Japanese bookstore possibly have to do with Jimi Hendrix's first electric guitar, Pat Metheny's current guitar or the first rackmount effects unit (made for the Grateful Dead)? The answer is Ibanez.
Ibanez has a rich heritage of producing high quality instruments that spans decades. Though the history is far reaching, the Ibanez impact on the music industry has not been solely due to the amount of time it has existed as a company. Each Ibanez instrument has demonstrated its value time and time again through its exceptional functionalty and sheer versatility. The instruments have evolved to meet the new demands of musicians and push the limits of what is possible.
