January 1, 2021: Ibanez has introduced their new BTB Premium models for 2021. There are four new models joining the collection, the BTB1835, BTB1836, BTB1905LW, and BTB1906LW. The BTB1835 & BTB1836 feature a 9pc Maple/Bubinga/Panga Panga neck-through design with a Bubinga top over Ash body wings. Other features include medium stainless steel frets, a bound Panga Panga fretboard, and Aguilar DCB pickups paired with an Ibanez custom 3-band EQ. 

The BTB1905LW & BTB1906LW are limited-run BTB Premium models. The overall specs are similar to the BTB1835 & BTB1836 with three exceptions. Theses basses feature a special figured Lacewood top over Mahogany body wings and a 7pc Panga Panga/Purpleheart neck also featuring neck through construction. These changes combine for a big visual and tonal impact delivering a uniquely custom-built appearance with a distinctive boutique-inspired vibe.
