The LACS7 "THOMPSON" is an American Master series five string Soundgear series solid body electric bass model introduced by Ibanez for 2022. It was crafted by L. A. Custom Shop in California as part of the 50th anniversary of Ibanez’s US-based distributor Hoshino U.S.A. Inc.

The LACS7 is a One-off model which is sold exclusively by select Ibanez music retailers.

"THOMPSON" One of three historically-inspired American Master Series reproductions in this collection the MAB5BE. This SR5 harnesses the true original formula to deliver a stunning instrument crafted with artisan precision and exacting detail. In order to bestow a proper name on this instrument, the LA team decided to harken back to Master Luthier Tak Hosono’s beginnings with Hoshino. At the time the original American Master series guitars were built at Tak’s shop, located on Thompson Street in Glendale, CA, therefore the crew felt Thompson would be a subtle, but historically relevant reference to Tak’s early career.
