The Ibanez SR Prestige Series was molded from premium woods and Prestige thru-necks. Prestige basses feature U.S. made Bartolini electronics designed specifically for Ibanez basses that provide the Prestige Soundgears with even more sophistication and versatility than the famous originals. But the core Soundgear philosophy is exactly the same as two decades ago: a modern bass for players who want a thin, fast neck and the ability to dial in any tone for any genre from complex electric jazz to raging black metal. The tones from these bass guitars are great for recording sessions direct to board or through preamps, effects and other signal processing like compressors and limiters.

Musicians call intensive practice woodshedding, because that’s where a guitarist traditionally take their ax if they wanted to rehearse out of earshot of audience and critics. With the advent of the Yamaha Silent Guitar series, such a trip to a remote lumber pile is fine, but no longer necessary.

Originally designed as ideal practice and travel instruments, the steel-string SLG100S and nylon-string SLG100N quickly became popular with touring guitarists enamored with its practical, feedback-free live applications and modern jet-age appearance.

The custom-designed pickup systems by L.R. Baggs and B-Band faithfully reproduce every nuance, providing full, rich tone for stage and studio work. The SLG twins also feature great sounding built-in Yamaha digital reverbs. Backstage, on the tour bus, or at home, the SLG100 easily fulfills the role of a woodshed axe, thanks to its comfortable, lightweight composite frame and included earbud-style headphones. With the AUX IN jack, you can connect a CD player for private jamming.

When you’re finished, the SLG100 quickly dismatles and stores in the included compact gig bag for easy storage and travel. The SLG100 works with batteries or the included power supply.

The Ibanez RG Prestige series are the highest quality guitars in the extremely popular RG series. They were introduced in 1987 and are well known for their characteristic thin necks and hard-edged tone, which is generated by high-output humbuckers. The guitars are custom-made in Japan and according to Ibanez, only the best wood and mechanics are used to make the guitars. There are three different models: The RG, which is the regular design, the RGA, which has a fixed bridge design, and the RGT which has a neck-thru construction.
