S1070PBZ Cerulean Blue Burst Red copyright sprite

The S1070PBZ is an S series solid body guitar model introduced by Ibanez for 2918. It is produced in Indonesian as part of the mid-tier Premium line.

The S1070PBZ features a 6.5mm thick poplar burl top with a walnut, curly maple and panga panga strip down the center with natural binding on an African mahogany body bolted to an eleven piece panga panga, maple, walnut and purpleheart Wizard neck with a panga panga fingerboard with 24 stainless steel frets, binding, offset pearl dot position markers and luminescent side dots. Components include DiMarzio pickups with a pair of humbuckers flanking a single-coil, an Edge Zero II double locking tremolo bridge with a removable ZPS3Fe tuning stabilizer and Gotoh locking tuning machines.

For 2021 the bubinga replaced purpleheart in the neck construction, rosewood replaced panga panga for the fretboard and a new White Frost Burst finish was introduced exclusively for the US market.

The S1027PBF is a visually similar seven string model with a fixed bridge. The RG1070PBZ is a visually similar RG series model.
