The PS60 is a solid body electric guitar model introduced by Ibanez for 2018. It is a signature model of guitarist Paul Stanley of the American hard rock band KISS. It is produced in China.

Like the PS40 it replaced, the PS60 is an affordable version of the PS120. It features a poplar body bolted to a maple neck with a 22-fret treated New Zealand pine fingerboard with binding and white block position markers. Components include a pair of Ibanez humbucking pickups, a Tune-O-Matic style fixed bridge with tailpiece and a chrome pickguard. The truss rod cover features a reproduction of Stanley's autograph.

For 2020 the fretboard was changed to purpleheart and the bridge was changed to the new Gibraltar Performer.

Changes from the PS40 include the fretboard inlays and the location of the autograph.
