The Ibanez S521 OFM Ocean Fade Metallic S Standard Electric Guitar combines a lightweight mahogany body with a fast Wizard III maple neck and rosewood fretboard, delivering exceptional playability and tonal clarity. Equipped with Quantum pickups and a fixed hard tail bridge, it offers precise articulation and stable tuning, making it a top choice for professional musicians seeking speed, power, and style.

## Description

The cutting edge of Ibanez design, the S series continues to be a marvel of form and function. Its signature body shape - sculpted, lightweight, and mahogany - is stronger and more musically responsive than guitars weighing twice as much. The S series is still a rock 'n' roll version of a quick, graceful, and potentially lethal weapon. The Quantum pickups provide accelerated bass response for exceptionally fast tracking of high-speed staccato riffing with crushing mid range and precise high-end articulation.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: how much it weight exactly?**
A: I just got my S521 (blackberry sunburst)  it weighs 5lb 8.5oz with the strings on it.

**Q: Is there left handed version?**
A: i dont know if they have a left handed guitar, i do know you may not get an "S" model, I didnt  and i paid for one! just excuses, be careful.

**Q: Does the 5 way switch allow this to be used as 2 single pickups instead of 2 humbuckers? trying to decide between this and the s561 which has ssh.**
A: Take a look at Ibanez' website, it gives you pickup configurations for each model. But yes, on most Ibanez models with the 5-way switch, there are usually two single coil configurations.

**Q: Does this come with anything other than the guitar? Strap? Case?**
A: Mine came with a toolset and instruction manual
