Ibanez S521-MOL Mahogany Oil

This second hand electric guitar is in very good condition

Some scuffs on the body , otherwise great.

The Ibanez S521-MOL Mahogany Oil is proof that you don't need a flashy finish or premium price tag to own a seriously capable electric guitar. Sleek, lightweight and built for speed, the S521 combines Ibanez's renowned playability with a stripped-back aesthetic that lets the natural beauty of the wood take centre stage.

One of the first things you'll notice is the incredibly slim, contoured S Series body. Finished in an attractive Mahogany Oil open-pore finish, it feels smooth and natural in your hands while allowing the grain to shine through. The lightweight body makes long rehearsals and gigs effortless, and the sculpted contours ensure outstanding playing comfort whether you're standing or sitting. The S521 features a slim Wizard III maple neck, 24 jumbo frets and a fixed F106 bridge for excellent tuning stability and sustain. 

The Wizard III neck is one of the guitar's biggest strengths. Thin, fast and comfortable, it's ideal for everything from technical lead playing and fast alternate picking to smooth chord work. Combined with the flat fingerboard radius and generous upper fret access, it's a guitar that encourages confident playing across the entire neck.

Loaded with a pair of Ibanez Quantum humbuckers, the S521 offers a surprisingly broad tonal range. Clean settings produce articulate, balanced sounds with plenty of clarity, while higher gain settings deliver tight lows, aggressive mids and crisp highs that are perfect for rock, hard rock and modern metal. The fixed bridge enhances sustain and makes string changes quick and straightforward, making it a great option for players who prefer maximum reliability over a tremolo system.

Despite its modern styling, the S521 is remarkably versatile. It handles blues, classic rock, indie and even jazz with ease, while really coming alive when paired with overdrive or high-gain amps.
