Level up with Bernth's Potent Sonic Weapon
Austrian guitarist and YouTuber Bernth is celebrated for his virtuosic technique and creative range. Appropriately, his signature Ibanez BER10 reflects the breadth of his talents, handling everything from slippery legato phrases to precise, alternate-picked passages with equal authority. Built around a double-cut, AZ-style alder body, this high-performance electric guitar pulls out all the stops. Its maple neck, which has been heat treated using the patented S-Tech process, boasts a comfortable Oval C shape. Meanwhile, its fast-playing 12-inch-radius ebony fingerboard is crowned with 24 jumbo-sized stainless steel frets. Sonically, the BER10 is a true tonal chameleon, thanks to a set of multi-voice Fishman Fluence Bernth active humbuckers, giving rise to a wide breadth of tasteful textures. You can also bend, twist, and dive-bomb courtesy of the BER10's Gotoh T1502 tremolo, which is bolstered by a Graph Tech TUSQ XL nut and Gotoh MG-T locking machine heads. The Ibanez BER10 is poised to elevate your guitar playing — once you pick it up, you won’t want to put it down!

Supreme playing comfort meets seamless speed
Players searching for a high-performance double-cut solidbody electric guitar without a pointy, metal-leaning aesthetic will revel in the BER10's every detail. For starters, its AZ-style body and meticulously sculpted neck joint certify a sleek, seamless playing experience. The maple neck has been heat treated using the patented S-Tech process, significantly increasing its stability, durability, water resistance, and tolerance to temperature changes. And it's supremely comfortable — its fingerboard edge was finished with a smooth curve that extends through the border between the fingerboard and the neck to the fingerboard itself. Beyond that, this neck's Oval C profile fills your hand nicely at the lower frets while providing a more modern feel when playing up high.
Bernth's signature sound, now in your hands
Equipped with a set of multi-voice Fishman Fluence Bernth active humbuckers, the Ibanez BER10 is ready for anything you can throw at it. That's no accident — Fishman's Fluence series has continuously redefined what a pickup can be, shattering tonal constraints and reshaping the way we voice the electric guitar. It's this spirit of innovation that makes Fishman's collaboration with Bernth feel inevitable. Together, they've engineered a set of signature pickups that channel the Austrian virtuoso's full stylistic range, from shimmering, pristine cleans to bluesy grind, all the way to muscular, razor-sharp humbuckers. And with three distinct voices on tap, Sweetwater's guitar experts can't get enough of the sheer versatility packed into the BER10's signature Fishman Fluence pickups.
