Ibanez SR650, Antique Brown Stained

Full Description

The SR Series From Ibanez

The Ibanez SR650 comes from the SR line-up of guitars which are designed to offer the player a modern playing experience alongside strong and versatile tones. Many of their basses feature active electronics to give further tonal options and are finished in a way to show off the quality of the woods underneath.

Quality Tonewoods For Style & Sound

The SR650's body is constructed from ash, giving a bright and resonant tone. Finished in Antique Brown Stain, the beauty of the wood grain is readily apparent. The neck is made from jatoba and bubinga, making it strong and stable despite its thinness. A rosewood fingerboard tops the neck and adds to the resonance of this instrument, whilst providing a stable platform for the left hand.

Designed For A Comfortable Playing Experience

The SR650 features an asymmetric double cutaway offering comfortable contours and easy access to the higher frets. The neck joint is bolt-on and, like many of the Ibanez guitars, is designed to be as low-profile and rounded as possible. Your left hand will have no problem reaches the upper end of the neck which will be ideal for playing those important solos. The neck features a slim profile and wide radius giving you maximum access to the lower strings.

Nordstrand Pickups & Clever Electronics For More Tonal Variation

The SR650 features Nordstrand CND PJ Pickups which are arranged in a unique split combination setup, combining the best of vintage and modern tones. The bridge pickup is a classic bar style design while the neck is a split-coil. These offer the ability to have mid-heavy punchy tones alongside scooped modern sounds and are ideal for the modern working musician. The SR650 also features active electronics to provide you with a 3-band EQ giving an even wider range of tonal options.

High Quality Hardware For Reliability

The Accu-cast B300 bridge allows precise intonation and delivers string-to-body vibrations effectively. The guitar features solid chrome controls and toggle switches to ensure that the SR650 will become a gigging tool that you can rely on.
