A tone that always excels
Let your creativity run wild. Equipped with a HSS pickup configuration, the S561 delivers a vast abundance of sonic textures and capabilities. From pure and pristine cleans to crunchy rhythm and blues, this model can accommodate any performance style. There's no mistaking this Ibanez. Each pickup delivers incredible qualities, which combine for a balanced and versatile tone. A powerful, dynamic, and responsive sound is delivered, alongside a tonal palette that excels in everything from classic rock solos to heavy chugs.
For those who crave versatility or want to create their own distinctive output, the S561 features a range of controls that let you shape your sound to suit your style. Tweak the master tone and then crank up the volume for the ultimate performance. What's more, you can select which electronics you want to perform with thanks to the 5-way pickup selector. Choose between the tight and defined humbucker or transparent single coils to find your desired harmonic. The possibilities are endless.
Silky-smooth shredding
Not only does this model produce powerful tones, but it also has a playability that is truly dreamy. Its body features elegant curves, alongside a cutaway profile. Thanks to this, the S561 will rest naturally during both seated and standing performances and offer effortless access to the upper frets. Add a high-end sparkle to your sound without worrying about strain or cramping.
Well-crafted with a Wizard III profile, the guitar's neck also offers pure comfort. Thanks to its thin and flat shape, shredding and fretting has never been so effortless. And despite this design, you can still guarantee that the maple is strong, sturdy, and ready to handle the most ferocious playing. This has been topped with a rosewood fingerboard, which comes adorned with twenty-four jumbo frets. Experiment with two octaves of tonal greatness and bend your strings with ease for the ultimate performance. You'll fall in love with how this guitar plays.
Superb stability
Discover a perfect playing experience. A fixed F106 bridge is deployed, upholding the string tension and tuning stability, whilst reducing the time spent tuning and prolonging the time spent performing. It’s not just in its tuning that the Ibanez S561 is reliable. A bolt on maple neck offers incredible durability and resilience, ensuring an extended life from your instrument. This is coupled with a meranti body which delivers a warm, delicate tone thanks to the wood's strength and density, which further solidifies the reliability of the instrument.
