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.
