Every time the light catches her top, another pattern seems to appear. For a Korean-built Ibanez from the late 90s, she’s aged remarkably well.\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"x14z9mp xat24cr x1lziwak x1vvkbs xtlvy1s x126k92a\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv dir=\"auto\"\u003eBuilt by World Musical Instruments in Korea during what many players consider one of Ibanez’s strongest eras, this SA160QM is a reminder that some of the finest instruments the company produced weren’t always the headline models.\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"x14z9mp xat24cr x1lziwak x1vvkbs xtlvy1s x126k92a\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv dir=\"auto\"\u003eThe SA Series occupies a sweet spot in the Ibanez family. It carries the speed and effortless playability the brand is famous for, but with a little more substance than the ultra-thin S Series. The sculpted mahogany body feels wonderfully balanced, while the quilted maple top gives her an appearance far beyond her original price point.\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"x14z9mp xat24cr x1lziwak x1vvkbs xtlvy1s x126k92a\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv dir=\"auto\"\u003eHer versatile HSS pickup configuration means she’s equally happy delivering sparkling cleans, warm blues, classic rock crunch or modern high-gain tones.

Rather than trying to hide her story, we’ve simply helped her look her very best again. Sarah carefully carried out two colour-matched cosmetic repairs before giving the entire guitar a thorough machine polish, bringing the finish back to life while keeping the character that makes a well-loved instrument feel genuine.\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"x14z9mp xat24cr x1lziwak x1vvkbs xtlvy1s x126k92a\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv dir=\"auto\"\u003eMechanically, Jordan has worked his usual magic. The frets have been levelled, crowned and polished, every fret end rounded, and the fretboard edges gently rolled for that comfortable, played-in feel. The rosewood fretboard was cleaned and conditioned before Ember received a full setup, fresh strings, intonation adjustment and electronics check. She’s now playing every bit as well as a quality Korean Ibanez should.\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"x14z9mp xat24cr x1lziwak x1vvkbs xtlvy1s x126k92a\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv dir=\"auto\"\u003eShe isn’t perfect, she’s better than that.\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"x14z9mp xat24cr x1lziwak x1vvkbs xtlvy1s x126k92a\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv dir=\"auto\"\u003eShe’s honest, and she’s ready for her next adventure.\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"The Stray Chord","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":58487625515272,"sku":null,"price":180.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1059\/2829\/4664\/files\/763811120_122115154593375091_8340033397904700963_n.jpg?v=1787256185","url":"https:\/\/thestraychord.com\/products\/ember-ibanez-sa160qm-amber-burst","provider":"The Stray Chord","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
