Ibanez Introduces Additional Xiphos Series ModelJul 03, 2008  Click image for closeup | The best selling Ibanez Xiphos series of metal guitars gets its third major model at the Summer NAMM show in Nashville. Joining the six-string double-locking trem model and the seven-string fixed bridge model is the XPT700FX, which offers fixed-bridge simplicity and sustain to six string shredders. The new model's X-shaped mahogany body is finished in a new Ibanez finish, Rusty Glitter Flat, and fitted with a two-octave Wizard II neck which easily facilitates fast fretwork. Pickups are both D'Marzio D Activators, which offer the characteristic sound of active pickups favored by metalheads, but actually require no active circuitry or onboard power. The list price of the XPT700FXRUF is $866.65. For more information, visit their web site at www.ibanez.com. |
