Ibanez S521-OFM Standard with Meranti Body, Jatoba Fretboard Ocean Fade Metallic 2019

Up for sale is a superb 2019 Ibanez S521-OFM Standard, finished in the striking Ocean Fade Metallic and presented in Excellent condition. Combining Ibanez's famously slim and ergonomic S Series body with a fast-playing neck and powerful dual-humbucker configuration, this is a seriously versatile instrument built with performance in mind.

This example has been very well cared for and remains in excellent condition, showing only minimal signs of use. The Ocean Fade Metallic finish looks fantastic under the light, giving the guitar a modern, understated aesthetic that perfectly complements the sleek S Series body.

The meranti body keeps the guitar comfortable and resonant, while the famously slim S Series profile makes it exceptionally easy to play. The contoured body sits naturally against the player and is perfectly suited to extended playing sessions, whether you're practising at home, recording in the studio, or performing live.

The jatoba fingerboard provides a smooth playing surface with a bright, articulate response, while the fast Ibanez neck profile makes technical playing, rapid chord changes, and lead work feel completely effortless. With 24 frets and excellent upper-fret access, there's plenty of room to explore across the entire range.

A pair of Quantum humbuckers provides the S521 with a powerful and versatile voice. The bridge pickup delivers tight, articulate aggression for high-gain rhythm work and lead playing, while the neck pickup offers a fuller, warmer character for cleans, blues, and more expressive tones. The five-way switching system also provides access to a range of useful combinations, giving the guitar considerably more tonal flexibility than its straightforward H-H layout might suggest.

The guitar is fitted with a F106 bridge, offering solid string anchoring, reliable tuning stability, and comfortable string spacing. Combined with the S Series' lightweight construction and ergonomic design, the result is an instrument that feels incredibly natural in the hands.

Most importantly, this S521 simply plays and sounds superb. The neck is fast and comfortable, the response is immediate, and the guitar offers plenty of tonal versatility across clean, crunch, and high-gain settings.
