Founded in 1935 as Hoshino’s Spanish-style guitar division, Ibanez began garnering a reputation by the 1980s in the U.S. for its shred-ready appointments, like fast, skinny necks, high-output humbuckers, deep cutaways, and locking tremolo systems—all of which quickly made Ibanez one of the most popular brands among modern guitarists.
