Introducing the Ibanez APEX30, the signature guitar of James "Munky" Shaffer, renowned rhythm guitarist and co-founder of multi-Grammy-winning nu-metal band Korn. Built to withstand the rigors of the stage, this 7-string guitar is a powerhouse of performance.
Crafted with a Nyatoh body topped with Maple, the APEX30 boasts a Wizard II-7 3-piece Maple neck, providing exceptional playability. Its 24 jumbo fret Ebony fingerboard delivers tight lows, punchy mids, and iconic high-end attack, ensuring clarity and richness in tone even during the most intense performances. Plus, luminescent side dot inlays enhance visibility on dimly lit stages.
Equipped with DiMarzio Blaze ceramic passive humbuckers, the APEX30 offers versatile tonal capabilities. The bridge pickup delivers impactful lows and highs, while the neck pickup provides warmth without sacrificing clarity, accommodating a wide range of playing styles and musical genres.
For hardware, the APEX30 is equipped with an Evertune bridge, utilising some impressive mechanisms to constantly adjust string tension such that you are always in tune no matter how hard or heavy you play. Backed up with Gotoh tuners too, you know your strings are in safe hands.
