The front plate of the guitar body is made of solid okoumé, the sides and back plate are made of overmoulded okoumé. The neck is made of exotic nyatoh wood and is fitted with a 20-fret fingerboard made of fig wood. The resonance of the solid soundboard is supported by the traditional X ribbing, and orientation around the fingerboard surface is facilitated by white position markers. The body is embellished with a simple multi-layer rosette and a pickguard made of imitation tortoiseshell, which also protects the guitar body from scratches.
The amplification is taken care of by an underdrive piezo pickup along with an Ibanez AEQ-TP2 preamp with a two-band EQ and built-in tuner. The signal from the guitar can be output via a standard instrument cable (6.3 mm jack) or a balanced XLR output.
Strings are held in chrome Die-Cast tuners and a figwood fingerboard with Ibanez Advantage pegs, which are easier to manipulate than standard models. In addition, the string and pegs hold the string firmly in the optimal position, i.e. there is no loosening of the pegs as the string tension increases. The guitar's peg is shaped to optimally transmit the vibrations of the string to achieve the best possible sound.
