2018 SA560MB ABT
SA560MB Aqua Blue Flat Red copyright sprite

The SA560MB is an SA series solid body electric guitar model introduced by Ibanez in 2018. It was produced in China.

The SA560MB features a maple burl top with abalone purfling on a mahogany body bolted to a maple neck with a 22-fret ebony fingerboard with binding and abalone dot position markers. The headstock was flat rather than angled back like previous SA models, necessitating the use of string retainers. Components include DiMarzio Black Velvet pickups with a humbucker at the bridge and single-coils in the middle and neck positions, an Ibanez T102 two-point synchronized tremolo bridge and locking tuning machines.

For 2019 the mahogany body was replaced with okoume.

The SA series necks for 2018 feature a 12" radius fretboard, which is significantly less flat than the 15¾" radius of previous years.

The SA560 was discontinued after 2019.
