Ibanez S1070PBZ Premium Guitar Charcoal Black Burst B-Stock
Description
Ibanez S1070PBZ Premium Guitar – Charcoal Black Burst B-Stock
The S1070PBZ Premium is engineered for studio tracking and overdubbing sessions where tonal precision and neck stability matter most. Its exceptionally lightweight, ultra-responsive design—defined by multi-wood construction and precision engineering—translates to comfortable long takes and consistent performance across multiple passes. The Wizard 11-piece neck provides the structural rigidity needed for stable intonation under mic, while the Edge-Zero II tremolo with ZPS3Fe maintains tuning integrity through pitch modulation and ambient effects work. This B-Stock unit carries minor cosmetic wear—a small finish dent and scratches at the bridge cavity—but has been professionally inspected and confirmed to have no impact on playability, structural integrity, or tone.
Playability & Recording Character
The Wizard 11-piece Panga Panga/Maple/Walnut/Bubinga neck delivers exceptional stability with a bolt-on joint and 15.75-inch fretboard radius, ensuring consistent intonation across all registers during tracking. The Rosewood fretboard contributes warmth and focused midrange response that cuts through dense mixes. 24 Jumbo Stainless Steel frets with premium edge treatment provide ultra-smooth playability for articulate single-note work and clean chord voicings, while Mother of Pearl off-set dot inlays with luminescent properties ensure visibility during late-night studio sessions.
Tone & Session Versatility
The DiMarzio Air Norton (neck), True Velvet (middle), and The Tone Zone (bridge) pickup configuration delivers remarkable versatility for layering and overdubbing—warm, articulate cleans for rhythm foundations, tight midrange for lead definition, and aggressive character for textural contrasts. The African Mahogany body with a 16.5mm exotic top featuring Poplar Burl, Walnut, Curly Maple, and Panga Panga contributes singing sustain and tonal richness across all registers, translating to natural compression and presence in the mix. The Gloss Polyurethane finish provides durability and visual consistency across studio and live environments.
