Ibanez SA

The SA series consists of electric guitars with a solid construction that have been produced and sold by the Ibanez company since 2000 . The guitars have been produced continuously since their market launch and are considered an inexpensive entry-level model in the S series. If we had to describe the Ibanez SA series in just one word, it would be: "versatile" .

The most noticeable difference from the S- series is that while the SA- series body retains the curved top of the S- series , the SA body has a flat bottom and is therefore not as thin overall. Most SA models are also equipped with a non-locking, synchronized floating tremolo system . Aside from a handful of outliers, all SA models have either an HSS (one humbucker and two single coils) or a dual humbucker pickup configuration .

The first models in the series were the SA160, SA260, GSA20 and GSA60, the latter two as part of Ibanez's GIO entry-level line. Aside from the components , the GIO SA models are distinguished by a straight headstock instead of the slanted design of the non-GIO models, as well as the placement of the output jack on the side of the body instead of an angled port on the top of the guitar like the other S - and SA models.

We will inform you in detail about which features and tonewoods each individual electric guitar from the SA series is equipped with on the respective product page.
