The Ibanez Premium S1070PBZ-CKB CharcoalBlack Burst fulfills all expectations of a noble and modern rock guitar with playable ease. Ibanez relies on an elaborate construction with the finest woods, which impresses with first-class playability thanks to the agile Saber design. An HSH pickup setup from DiMarzio promises more flexible rock and metal sounds that always remain sharply defined, even with the latest drop tunings. Last but not least, the Premium S1070PBZ is equipped with the proven Ibanez Edge-Zero II DoubleLockingTremolo including the stabilizing ZPS3Fe Zero Point System and precise Gotoh MG-T Locking tuners.
The Ibanez Premium S1070PBZ-CKB Charcoal Black Burst is a first-class rock and metal guitar with an elaborate construction and first-class DiMarzio pickups.
Elaborate construction with fine woods
The S1070PBZ is constructed using a selection of first-class woods. The mahogany body base has a four-piece top made from burl poplar, maple, panga panga and walnut, while the bolt-on neck is made from eleven pieces of panga panga, maple, walnut and bubinga. The streamlined S-design with the "Wizard" neck profile creates optimum conditions for agile handling, so that every note comes out of the hand as if by magic between the 24 stainless steel frets of the pangapanga fingerboard.
DiMarzio pickups for versatile sounds
The Ibanez Premium S1070PBZ-CKB CharcoalBlackBurst is powered by an HSH pickup setup from DiMarzio, which promises a broad sound spectrum. The DiMarzio The Tone Zone humbucker fitted to the bridge delivers an extremely fat sound with a stable bass foundation and powerful mids, which asserts itself excellently in the band sound. In the middle position, the DiMarzio True Velvet single-coil provides bell-like sounds with a sweet overtone spectrum, while the DiMarzio Air Norton on the neck provides warm sounds. The pickups are controlled using a 5-way blade switch and general volume and tone controls.
Ibanez Premium S1070PBZ with Edge-Zero II Tremolo
Naturally, the Ibanez Premium S1070PBZ-CKB CharcoalBlackBurst is equipped with the tried-and-tested Ibanez Edge-Zero II DoubleLocking tremolo, which takes even the most unrestrained squeals and dive bombs without the electric guitar going out of tune. The Ibanez ZPS3Fe Zero Point System provides the Tremolo with a fixed resting point so that you can continue playing without going out of tune even if the strings break. The headstock of the Ibanez S1070PBZ also features precise Gotoh MG-T Locking tuners.
My first high end guitar so reviewing from perspective of a novice.
Guitar is extremely beautiful which is one of the mains reasons why premium was selected over more bland looking entry versions of the series. I wasn't expecting much just a great looking a guitar.
I've been playing the guitar only for three days however after multiple readjustment fret buzzing is prelevant on 6th string. This is the biggest draw back, I expect an experienced guitar workshop can remove the buzz altogether but I think its unreasonable to go through that process after buying a guitar of this price.
Fret buzz aside the guitar sound is much brighter and clearer than my mid range LTD the difference is night and day. DiMarzio pickups offer an extremely crunchy heavy tone on the bridge, clean undistorted sound from single mid pickup and nice creamy mellow tones from neck humbucker. Speaking of pickups the middle pickup may interfere with your picking but for me was not much of an issue.
Overall the guitar definitely looks unique, feels amazing to hold and has great sound to back it up. I'm just not convinced that it's really worth more than double of the standard S range.
