The ST200 is a Studio series solid body electric guitar model introduced by Ibanez for 1978. It was made in Japan by FujiGen.
The ST200 features a double-cutaway body composed of a hard rock maple center block and mahogany outer blocks with thin strips of walnut between them. This body is mated to a set-in laminated maple neck with a 24-fret rosewood fingerboard with pearloid dot position markers. Components include a pair of Ibanez V2 humbucking pickups with exposed cream bobbins mounted in cream pickup rings with a single volume control and an active EQ-2 Tone System, a Tune-o-matic style Gibraltar fixed bridge mounted on a sustain block embedded into the body, a Quik Change tailpiece and VelveTune II machine heads. The output is mounted on the face of the guitar. The EQ-2 Tone System consists of boost/cut controls for treble and midrange and an EQ toggle switch.
The ST100 is a related model without the active tone system or the sustain block under the bridge. The ST300 is a related model with an ash and maple body, a pair of Tri-sound switches for the pickups and gold hardware.
