S770PB with Natural Flat finish

The S770PB is an S series solid body electric guitar model made by Ibanez. It was introduced in 2010 as a replacement for the S670PB, with a 24-fret neck and a new inlay style. Prior to the introduction in 2008 of the Prestige S5470, all S models had 22 frets. In 2010, the 24-fret neck was rolled out to the entire S series.

The S770PB a poplar burl top with binding on a mahogany body bolted to a maple neck with a 24-fret rosewood fingerboard with binding. Components include Ibanez pickups with a pair of humbuckers flanking a single-coil and a double locking tremolo bridge.

Several changes were introduced in 2014 including swapping out the ZR tremolo for the Edge Zero II and changing the style of the inlays. New pickups were introduced in 2015 along with a new finish.

The S770FM is a similar model with a flamed maple top. A similar model with a mukali flame top, the S770MF, was available briefly in 2015 in Japan. A fixed bridge version is also available, the S771PB.

The S770PB was discontinued after 2016.
