The Iron Label series from Ibanez was specifically designed for metal guitarists. The first Iron Label models hit the metal world in 2013. Since then they've been modified and tweaked to create the ultimate metal axes.
Iron Label models have been produced in a range of body shapes, including the Ibanez RG, RGA, RGD, ARZ, FR, S and X series.
Common features of the Iron Label line are a new Nitro Wizard neck and EMG or DiMarzio pickups. The models in this series generally eschew ornamentation in favour of a plain aesthetic – most have no fretboard inlays and tend towards minimalist controls. Additionally, many models in this series omit a tone control.
Whether you prefer a pared-back model or an amped-up stage monster – in the Iron Label series you'll find the perfect metal machine.
The Japanese instrument maker Ibanez can look back on a long tradition in guitar and bass construction. Although Ibanez initially made a name for itself with idiosyncratic copies of traditional models from makers like Gibson and Fender, its own series gradually emerged, such as the Iceman, JEM, Artcore and RG. In the 1980s the company became particularly well known in the heavy sector with instruments that stood out for their modern features, distinctive design and excellent playability. Innovations such as 7- and 8-string guitars, born from fruitful collaborations with artists like Joe Satriani, Steve Vai and Meshuggah, further helped to establish Ibanez's strong reputation. Today the manufacturer offers an extensive range, from entry-level guitars and basses to exotic Custom Shop models. In addition, Ibanez also impresses in the field of effects and amplifiers, as the classic TS9 Tubescreamer proves. Here you'll find a comprehensive selection of guitars, basses, amplifiers, effects and accessories from Ibanez.
