Ibanez - FTM33-WK

The Ibanez FTM33-WK guitar is an instrument tailored to the demands of progressive metal, and more specifically designed in collaboration with the legendary Swedish band Meshuggah. Featuring a through-body construction, this guitar guarantees great resonance and impressive stability, ideal for the long sustained notes and intense playing typical of the modern metal scene.

The neck, made of 7 pieces of maple and walnut reinforced with KTS titanium bars, ensures robustness and comfort.

The body of the FTM33 is made of ash, a wood that offers a clear and well-defined sound. The rosewood fingerboard accentuates this rich sound by adding balance in the midrange, creating a solid tonal base, essential for complex compositions.

With its 22 jumbo frets and 27-inch scale, the guitar offers a harmonic range that perfectly matches the 8-string configuration. This long scale length also helps maintain proper string tension, even when tuned very low, which is essential for the "djent" style popularized by Meshuggah.

The Lundgren Model M8P pickups, installed in a dual-humbucker configuration, are known for their ability to deliver powerful, punchy and harmonically rich tones, perfect for heavy riffs and technical passages.

These high-output ceramic pickups allow you to exploit the nuances and dynamics specific to modern playing, while ensuring excellent clarity in the low frequencies.

The FX Edge III-8 bridge, designed specifically for eight-string guitars, offers great tuning stability and optimal playing precision. Finally, the luminescent side markers on the neck facilitate location on stage in low light conditions, ensuring playing comfort in all circumstances.

Complete with a hardshell case, this guitar is a tool of choice for any metal guitarist looking for an intense, precise and versatile sound, inspired by the sonic universe of Meshuggah.
