Ibanez SA160FM Transparent Gray Burst
Description
Description
This second hand guitar is in very good condition.
All good , fully working - is missing the back plate.
The Ibanez SA160FM is a guitar that blends style, speed, and sonic flexibility, making it an excellent choice for intermediate players and gigging musicians alike. As part of Ibanez’s SA series, the slightly curvier cousin of the S series, the SA160FM aims to deliver smooth playability, eye-catching looks, and a wide tonal palette thanks to its HSS pickup configuration. Whether you're playing blues, funk, hard rock, or pop, the SA160FM is a reliable and comfortable companion.
Design & Build
Aesthetically, the SA160FM is a stunner. The flame maple top over a mahogany body gave it a high-end appearance at a mid-range price point. Ibanez offered it in a range of finishes, often featuring translucent bursts that allow the figuring to shine through.
-
Body: Mahogany with flamed maple top
-
Neck: Maple, SA profile (thin and rounded)
-
Fretboard: Jatoba or Rosewood (depending on production year)
-
Frets: 22 Medium frets, with smooth finishing
-
Bridge: SAT Pro II tremolo bridge (non-locking)
-
Hardware: Cosmo black
Fit and finish on the SA160FM is typically excellent, with well-dressed frets, clean binding (if present), and solid hardware. It feels lighter than most Strat-style guitars, which makes it great for long rehearsals or gigs.
Pickups & Sound
This guitar is equipped with Ibanez pickups in an HSS configuration,
-
Neck & Middle (Single Coils): Crisp, articulate, and great for clean tones or funk
-
Bridge (Humbucker): Thick, warm, and great for leads or rock riffs
-
5-way switch: Offers coil-split tones and "in-between" Strat-like settings
Playability & Feel
The SA-series neck is known for its comfort. It’s thinner than a vintage Strat but not as ultra-slim as a Wizard neck, making it ideal for a wide range of hand sizes. The flat 12″ radius fretboard makes bends smooth and chords clean, especially in upper registers.
-
Weight: Light to medium-light
-
Neck access: Excellent thanks to the sculpted heel and deep cutaways
-
Tremolo: Smooth and stable for light to moderate use — not designed for divebombs
Overall, this guitar feels fast, slick, and ergonomic, lending itself well to both rhythm and lead styles.
Who It’s For
-
Intermediate players wanting a step up from entry-level guitars
-
Gigging musicians needing a reliable, versatile all-rounder
-
Students of various styles , blues, rock, pop, funk
-
Players who like to mod or upgrade pickups and parts
-
Fans of lightweight, sleek guitars with modern design
The Ibanez SA160FM is a well-crafted, attractive, and versatile guitar that holds its own in the competitive mid-range market. It doesn’t scream for attention with flashy specs but delivers where it counts: great looks, comfortable playability, and wide-ranging tones.
