Model overview
Built on the well-established SA series platform, known for its lightweight feel and great adaptability, the Ibanez SA260FM BRG comes with an alder body topped with flamed maple, producing a balanced sound: warm mids complemented by sparkling, defined highs. The maple neck with a jatoba fingerboard enhances both comfort and stability, offering a sleek touch that makes fast passages flow effortlessly.
The HSS pickup layout provides huge tonal variety. The bridge humbucker delivers a powerful, saturated tone for riffs and solos, while the single-coils in the middle and neck positions bring that signature crystalline clarity perfect for clean tones and sparkling chord work. With so many combinations, you’ll always find space to discover your own unique sound.
The SAT Pro II tremolo system brings the instrument even more alive: subtle vibrato, bold dive-bombs – it all sounds musical while keeping the tuning reliably intact. This makes it just as dependable in the studio as it is on stage, where tuning stability is everything.
Adding to its appeal is the distinctive finish: the striking Blue Reef Gradation gives the guitar a truly individual look. On stage, it immediately catches the eye, underlining both your taste and performance style.

The Ibanez SA260FM BRG is equally comfortable in the hands of a studio player who needs one instrument to cover a broad spectrum of genres.
