The Gibraltar Standard II is a hard-tail bridge used on Ibanez guitar models. It is a modified version of the Gibraltar Standard which features lower profile edges, making it closer in appearance to a traditional hard-tail bridge.

The Gibraltar Standard II, like its predecessor, works with a string-through-body design, having no way on its own to retain the ball-end of the string. The saddles are individually adjustable fore and aft via a screw and spring set up through the back of the baseplate to allow intonation to be set and each saddle has a pair of grub screws on its leading edge to allow the string height to be dialed in. The baseplate is retained to the body with four face mounted screws. It features a string spacing of 10.8mm.

It was introduced for the 2013 lineup, and replaced the Gibraltar Standard on all models which featured that bridge in 2012, as well as newer fixed-bridge models. In 2014, Ibanez expanded the use of the bridge onto Prestige-series guitars, including the newly-introduced RG652FX, RG752FX, and RG852.

  • The Gibraltar Standard II-7 is the 7-string guitar version
  • The Gibraltar Standard II-8 is the 8-string guitar version
  • The Gibraltar Standard II-9 is the 9-string guitar version (introduced in 2014)

The Gibraltar Standard III was supplanted by the Gibraltar Standard III for 2025, except for the Gibraltar Standard II-9 (nine string version), which continued to be offered. The six string Gibraltar Standard II continued to be used in 2025 on a pair of signature models: the JBBM30 and the JBM10FX.
