The most notable addition to the 2003 S is the new ZR double locking tremolo. The ZR tremolo is truly unique in concept and is the next advancement in double locking tremolo technology. The S with the ZR tremolo is truly the player's player guitar for today and for the future.

Important feature is the ZERO Point System, which forces the tremolo to return to its center point, therefore maintaining tuning stability.

One thing hasn't changed though. The sexy and slender S is still thin around the edges to give you great comfort. That's why, 15 years after its debut, the sleek and slender S guitar can be found in every genre and playing environment.

The everyman guitar.

Ibanez SA guitars are some of the most popular guitars in our entire line-up. Not only do they sound and feel great, they have the features that the gigging guitarist needs. One of those features is the SAT tremolo which allows the guitarist total control of their tremolo arm, without all of the problems associated with the usual non-locking tremolo bridge. With the addition of the DOUBLE SAT on the SA420X, SA players can now get those cool, natural acoustic guitar sounds with the built-in piezo pickups.

Evolution doesn't have to mean more complicated. A descendent of our S-Classic, the new SZ offers the SC guitar's fat tone, mobility, and comfort in an even simpler plug-in-and-play machine.
