Ibanez Introduces New SR600E Series

January 1, 2021: New for 2021, Ibanez is enhancing the performance of their SR standard line with the introduction of the SR600E series. This new line consists of three models, a 4, 5, and 6-string variant. The core of these instruments are an Ash body, Jatoba/Walnut Neck, and for the first time in several years, a Rosewood fingerboard. 

The Ash delivers an enveloping and powerful tonal foundation, while the neck woods and Rosewood fingerboard provided added tonal focus and note definition. Other familiar features include the B500 series bridge and the Ibanez Custom 3-Band EQ. A new and defining feature of the SR600E series is the choice of pickups. 

 

The new, Nordstrandโ„ข Big Break pickups cram a powerful offset, split coil into a soapbar-style pickup, producing a full-bodied, powerful, aggressive tonal texture, while still retaining the clarity that’s characteristic of single coil tone with noiseless performance. They deliver a versatile, hybrid sound that will be right at home in a variety of situations. These pickups are also an exclusive offering on Ibanez basses. 

The SR600E carries on the performance and ergonomic benefits players have come to expect from this line, while also delivering an outstanding performance to cost ratio.
