The '''ST1500''' is a double neck [[Studio series]] model introduced by [[Ibanez]] for 1980. It was made in Japan by [[FujiGen]] and offered only in Germany.

The ST1500 has a twelve string guitar neck and a four string bass neck. It features a mahogany body with birch top and back bolted to a pair of three-piece rock maple necks with 20-fret rosewood fingerboards with pearloid dot position markers. The guitar neck has a pair of Ibanez Super 70 [[humbucking pickup]]s with exposed cream bobbins in black pickup rings, a Gibraltar Tune-O-Matic style bridge and special stop tailpiece. The bass neck has a single Super 4 pickup and an Accu-Cast B bridge. Other components consist of rubberized Sure Grip control knobs, black pickguards and  covered tuners.

Controls consist of separate volume and tone controls for each neck and a 3-way pickup selector for the guitar neck. Each neck has a separate output mounted on the guitar face.

The [[ST1400]] is a similar model with a 6 string guitar neck. The [[ST1200]] is another Studio double neck with 6 string and 12 string guitar necks.

The ST1500 was discontinued after 1980.
