Founded in 1908 in Nagoya, Japan, Ibanez began as a guitar importer before crafting its own instruments in 1935. Known for bold design and innovation, the brand rose to fame with iconic shredders like Joe Satriani and Paul Gilbert. By the 1960s, Ibanez was shaping the global guitar scene, eventually becoming a top name in electric guitars, prized for their playability, style, and boundary-pushing sound. Built for smooth playability and bold tone, the Ibanez GSR100EXMOL features a sleek mahogany body with deep cutaways for easy upper fret access. Its fast GSR4 maple neck and rosewood fingerboard ensure a comfortable grip, while the powerful PPD4 bridge pickup delivers punchy, focused sound—perfect for players who want simplicity without sacrificing performance.
