Guitars as any other produce are always under the influence of vogue. Every year we can observe lots of new models of guitars which have new sound features and fashionable appearance. Generally, guitars haven't got any characteristics that underline the region where they were developed, but not all of them. In spring 2008 Ibanez presented the newest collection of guitars that is really outstanding.
Most of renowned guitars as Epiphone, Gibson, Fender and others have got some traditions and even new guitars always get the design that looks like all their classic series, but Ibanez refused to perform the same.

Prompts are sakura carving, that is the most suitable soft matter for this part of guitar.
