Delivers the Goods Night After Night

The Ibanez S570AH was built for players who don’t like to mess around. There’s nothing fancy about it — it simply delivers the goods night after night. Its resonant ash body yields a musical balance of brightness, warmth, and midrange. Its comfortable Wizard III neck is topped with an ultra-playable rosewood fretboard. And when you plug it in, its versatile Quantum pickups serve up a massive range of snarling tones. Up for some whammy bar abuse? The S570AH is more than ready to accommodate you, thanks to its Edge-Zero II tremolo. The S570AH boasts a sleek, contoured body and durable gloss finish.

A world-famous Ibanez Wizard neck

Ibanez changed the world of electric guitar playing when they introduced their impossibly thin Wizard neck profile. The S570AH guitar boasts the third generation of this iconic design. Its sleek carve sets the standard for guitarists needing a neck that caters to high-performance styles of playing. The neck's maple construction adds cut and sustain to the instrument's voice, while the 24-fret rosewood fretboard fills the tone with harmonic warmth.

Quantum pickups gives you massive tonal range

The Ibanez S570AH delivers maximum impact and power, thanks to a trio of Quantum pickups. The ceramic humbucker in the neck position is voiced for warmer, richer tone, while the ceramic bridge humbucker is a brilliant lead pickup: vibrant yet snarling with an enhanced midrange output when you push it. Beyond that, the middle single-coil pickup unlocks the full gamut of sonic textures. A 5-way switch, along with master volume and tone controls, puts you in complete command of your sound. Take it from Sweetwater — if you're after maximum tonal tenacity, then the S570AH will give your amplifier what it needs.

Edge-Zero II tremolo delivers solid performance and stability

The S570AH's Edge-Zero II tremolo gives you the fast response and snap you need to pull off sharp bends and vibrato. The extreme stability of this knife-edge-style trem's stud lock function is also one of the many reasons it's a favorite among many of today's top players. If you're looking for a guitar that can stand up to long, aggressive playing sessions without losing its tuning, you're going to love the S570AH.

Fun features at a mid-level price point

I wanted to get into a locking tremolo without a huge commitment. I'm a big fan of Ibanez S line (thin is in) so this was a no-brainer.
The good: the tuning is unbelievably stable. The Edge-Zero II is complicated, yeah, and no fun to change strings on but it was setup close to perfect out of the box and won't drift off pitch no matter how enthusiastically you work the arm. The finish is surprisingly pretty. It looked almost matte in the photos but is very glossy and deep. The coil-split positions are also a pleasant surprise. You won't ever confuse it for a telecaster but you've got some very usable single-coil tones.
The meh: This chunker is heavy for an S. Turns out an ash body weighs way more than any of the mahogany versions of other Ibanez S models. While the frets were in pretty good shape, they needed a polishing and there's a burr on the lower end of fret 22 (only). Not a big deal, but not perfect. Also, there's a definite crack in the neck pocket (see photo).
Would absolutely buy again.

Top Quality

Was very impressed with the finish of this guitar. Set was also spot on! Well done gang!
Rated 5/5

Outstanding guitar

This was my first 'good' guitar, and I've got no regrets at all. It looks gorgeous and plays beautifully. Tuning is stable as heck, even with heavy use of the whammy. Thin and comfortable to play. Plenty of tone options with the HSH pickup config + 5-way selector making it super versatile. Strong recommend.

Silver Wave Black is Solid Gold

The guitar arrived a few days ago. I put my Strat down and put it through it's paces. My son (who is a shred head) already gave me his opinion and we both agree at this price point it is a great guitar. The thin body is unique to me and I was surprised how much I liked the feel. The humbuckers are basically a typical humbucker (nothing wrong with that) I like the pickup selector in the middle for a more bluesy tone. The "wizard" neck is flat and reminiscent of the 80"s -90"s. I think the ghost of Kevin DuBrow popped in and sang along while I riffed. The floating tremolo is outstanding, dive bomb city. Just be careful when restringing and do it the right way. The guys at Sweetwater were able to take time away from their gigging at Buck Lake Ranch to do there typical great job. I just hope Bob and Ozzy never party together I believe the the whole world could explode. Ibanez has a great product here.

Ibanez S570AH

Understanding the price of this particular S-Series, I was pleasantly surprised by the overall build quality and playability of this guitar after I did a set-up. The things I like about this S-Series is the ceramic bridge pickup paired with the alnico middle position pickup- I like having that versatility in tone. The neck humbuckers is 'okay'. The neck is, per Ibanez fashion, excellent. The slab of rosewood is whatever makes up the fretboard is also a decent cut of wood. The Ibanez trem system is intuitive and comfortable to play. What I didn't like about the S570AH upon arrival is the lack of trem spring dampening. I had to cut and insert foam blocks in the spring cavity. Overall, a great value and fun instrument for hard rock, metal, and shred.
