Ibanez SA 260FM Electric Guitar - New Model 2018 - First Impressions

[@sammydodgers121]

It's refreshing to see a demo where you hear the sound of the actual guitar instead of cranking the distortion so high it sounds like any guitar. Good demo!

[@rafamcm]

Thank you Samuel! I've playing this guitar all the summer gigs and it's awesome!

First demo of this guitar that deserves to be watched

[@rafamcm]

Thank you Roger. I'm recording a new video with the upgrades on this guitar.

[@rogerpopp5916]

rafamcm thanks mate actually I was looking videos of this guitar because I want to buy one, I almost like EVERY style of music (blues, funk, metal, r&b, hard rock etc) so I was trying to find an affordable guitar that could cover every range, in your personal opinion do you like it? I want a good clean sound “fender style” but also a good distortion lead sound, what do you think? In this video your guitar sounds stunning in clean sound

[@rafamcm]

@@rogerpopp5916 Yes, it's a very good guitar. The pickups sounds really nice. I only had updated the bridge and the tuners. I used almost every day. You can watch a video where I played this guitar on stage with Mocedades (a famous band of Spain).Sounds killer for clean Fender tones and fat overdrive sounds. kzbin.info/www/bejne/e2Oqkpp-q557Y9U

I purchased this after being strictly fender and Gibson. Very impressed with this guitar, feels and sounds great.

Oden Britt - May I know some of your review for the trem system of the guitar? Is is bad or good? Thank you

Is this guitar universal enough? I play mostly softer style which works well as I can see in video, but sometimes I also enjoy some punk/HC/metal, and I´m not sure, if this model is suitable for it.

[@blessedheavyelements8544]

Great playing and great demo! I only play SA and S models now. I fell in love with the Wizard necks and body style in 2017 and that was that. Joy and pleasures to play.Just wish Ibanez gave as much love to the SA as they do the RG and RGA. Best Regards and Best Wishes.

Killer playing brother!!!! One of the best displays I’ve seen of an instruments (and players) versatility and I watch a CRAP tone of demos!!!

[@rafamcm]

Thank you!! ;)

[@nicosteream]

I've noticed a lot of guitar "testers" don't do this when they should but when testing a guitar with tremolo use it during the demo to show how it holds in tune. When you test a guitar, you have to show all its functions and tremolo is important.

[@rafamcm]

Yeah, I didn't use the trem because the original bridge was a little crappy. That was the first part I updated. Maybe someday I could make a video with all the updates I made in this guitar. It's a really good guitar. Thank you. ;)

[@AlbertoGuitarrista]

@@rafamcm Could you please tell what bridge model you replaced the original one with? I'm thinking of removing it as well and replacing with a more consistent bridge. The one which came with the guitar, four years ago, caught my attention because it was partially off its cavity. And that's something I've never been comfortable with. I mean, I asked around in some internet forums, but still didn't clear things up. Thank you in advance!

Really great playing, man. I have an older SA. Although it doesn't sound as rich as yours, you've inspired me to stop ignoring it. Thanks!

[@rafamcm]

Thank you! It's a great guitar.

[@nelsonlopes1032]

Thank you for this amazing demo. 2 hours after watching this video i was at the store buying this guitar. This 2018 model is great upgrade from the old SA models... from the pickups to the new bridge. The pickups sound amazing and i love the fact that the new single coils are called Resolution...same name as my favourite Andy Timmons album...same album were he uses a guitar with the same body shape as the SA. And since i can't afford an Ibanez AT300...this is the closest you can get. Excellent guitar with a very affordable price. So to all Andy Timmons fans out there...if you're short on cash and love that good old Andy Timmons tone...this 2018 Ibanez SA260FM won't disappoint.

[@rafamcm]

Thank you Nelson! Yes, this new SA 260 is amazing. I'm a big fan of Andy Timmons too. This guitar is not an AT300 but looks very similar. I've installed a better bridge and loking tuners. I'll share a new video with the upgrades.

[@nelsonlopes1032]

rafamcm What bridge did you put on the guitar? I was thinking about putting a Wilkinson WVS50IIK bridge on it. And what locking tuners did you put and did it fit straight away or did you have to do any modifications to fit it? Like drilling new screw holes or making the hole bigger to fit the tuners?

[@rafamcm]

It's a Guyker BS 184 black. It's a great bridge, with solid block, stainless steel saddles and a push/pull tremolo arm. You'll have to sand the wood in the internal part where the tremolo mechanism goes in order to install the bridge correctly without friction. The bridge will cover that part, then it will not be seen. The locking tuners are Guyker JN-P7SP black with perloid pegs. They fit perfect, no need any modification.

[@nelsonlopes1032]

rafamcm Thanks for the reply. I will have a look.

My first Ibanez guitar was a GSA, Gio SA a low range price guitar, and it’s light weight, beautiful and sound great to me (a novice player). My GSA is very versatile for comercial rock, pop, Ska music. The frets are not good and mic are a little bit noisy. The Ibanez SA needs a Prestige or a Premium treatment, which means: betters pickups, SR trem bar, and case. Anyways, you rock! Nice demo and great color scheme, sunburst - love it 😍

Very nice video, beautiful guitar. Congratulations for your video. All we want is to listen to the guitar, its timbre and features not to a bunch of notes played like Malmsteen or with a metal distortion. Some people do not understand that and use their reviews to show their skills and not the instrument. Some guys talk too much too. Cheers from Brazil.

[@lampy12]

Hello, that's a really nice demo. Do you know how big the difference between this one and SA360 and SA460 is? I really love the looks of them and they seem easier to find where I live, but I don't have the opportunity to test them right now due to covid, so I'm trying to get some idea about them :) Also, not sure if it's a reasonable question, but do you know any other similar models regarding price, performance and looks (not necessarily Ibanez)?

[@rafamcm]

Hi! The pickups are the same in both SA260, SA360 and SA460. SA360 has an avalone binding and locking tuners. SA460 has natural wood binding, okoume body and locking tuners too. But the sound is the same. Cort and Yamaha are good options too.

[@lampy12]

Thank you very much for a quick and informative response! :)

[@johnivorrevelo]

Nice Demo and nice guitar :) any honest review about the trem system of this guitar? Is it doing what is should or it needs upgrade?

[@asganaway]

good question because this model mount a proprietary design and find a replacement could be complicated.

[@throwsnbrews9516]

Truthfully if anything the nut would need help, not the trem. a 2 point system is going to be about the same on any guitar. Usually the hangups are in the nut.

[@usertube140]

How is the thinner body? A significant difference?

[@TwistedIdentity]

I REALLY want one of these SA series guitars but the fact that they all have medium frets, even the 460, instead of jumbo really irks me. (I know I'll probably sound like a snob saying that but...is what it is. I just don't like medium frets)

[@ahmadfarisrosli7597]

I know what you mean. Plus the neck is a little thicker as compared to other typical Ibanez which I’m used to. By no means it’s a bad guitar but it would be nice to have a jumbo fret. It’s all about feel preference really.

[@simoncomstedt8977]

What's the difference between jumbo and medium frets?

[@PaapiPasito]

I'm confused. My local area showroom claims to be selling an SA 160 FM. Whereas I believe they are no more manufactured. And it must be the 260. But it does not have the white binding around the corners of the body.

[@rafamcm]

Yes, the SA160FM is discontinued, maybe is a stock product. And it hasn't the white binding around the body. You can look at the back of the headstock. There are printed the model.

[@chucknuqui6770]

Very andy timmons sounding. Are those resolution pickups a reference to his album?

[@rafamcm]

Maybe!! Lol. Thank you Chuck. ;)

Do these guitars have Jumbo frets? I’m tired of Strats with medium frets, I want to try Ibanez

[@rafamcm]

It has medium frets, not jumbo.

[@piemmetubo]

Great demo, thank you! Did you make the mods, in the end? I'm very interested, because I have the same guitar, and I'm very satisfied of it. 😎 I already put locking tuners and added two springs to make the bridge more stable, as I'm not interested in using the tremolo. Do you think that changing the nut there will be an important improvement? Thanks for the answer.

[@rafamcm]

Thank you! Yes, I made it various upgrades. I want to upload a video with the final result but I'm too busy right now. I haven't got any free time to record a decent video with some explanations and sound clips. It's a really great guitar, I use it almost every day.

so, jem jr has the floyd rose and that is on taste , but floyds are usually a pain in the ass to do everything, but it has better building material and its own beaty, this one has a floating bridge instead of a floyd, wich makes it easier to do everything, so it mostly depends on your taste in the bridge and the aspect of the axe, compare the downsides and decide. Hope to help ^^

I prefer SA260 because i love the sound of a single coil pickup on neck position. I have got a Marco Sfogli signature with two humbuckers, an Andy Timmons with Cruisers and an old RG470 with HSS. Each guitar has its own sound. I don't like cheap Floyd Rose Lic bridges, are really bad with tuning.

@@rafamcm yo también tengo una PRS, una Singlecut americana.pero tiene un mástil y diapasón wide-fat. La cejuela es bastante más ancha en la PRS que en la Ibanez SA 260FM . O sea, el diapasón es más espacioso en la PRS. Y tú pareces una persona alta, con lo que es posible que tus manos sean "grandes", por lo cual me pregunto cuál sería tu estrategia con la Ibanez al tener el diapasón más estrecho: ¿tocar más arriba habitualmente?. ¿Usarla más para rítmica que para solos?. ¿Apoyarte más en acordes de cejilla?.

¡Suena estupenda! He visto decenas de vídeos sobre las SA y, salvo en el modelo 960, nadie consigue tan buen sonido como tú ni de lejos. ¿Han cambiado algo en el modelo 2018, quizá las pastillas?. Lo digo porque me suena muy superior a cualquier otra review que haya visto. Yo tengo una SA160 del año 2002 y ni de lejos sonaba igual de bien. Le cambie hace poco electrónica y pastillas y ahora estoy muy contento. Pero a la tuya no parece necesario hacerle muchos cambios. ¡Sonidazo!. Sin duda también influye el resto de tu equipo y, lo más importante: el intérprete 😉. Enhorabuena.

[@rafamcm]

Muchas gracias! Llevaba años detrás de este modelo, pero no me convencía ninguno de los puentes anteriores, ni el headstock angulado, ni las pastillas. Este año Ibanez ha mejorado mucho esta guitarra. El puente no está mal (se puede montar uno tipo Wilkinson o Gotoh sin problemas), el headstock es recto (con aspecto más clásico) y las pastillas están muy bien (las single coil suenan de lujo y la humbucker da la talla, sin ruidos, muy equilibradas). Además el aspecto es brutal y el diapasón de jatoba tiene un tacto muy agradable. Este año me he decidido y no me ha defraudado. Gran guitarra, sí señor.

Yo tenía la SA160 y mi única queja era el puente!!! Saludos

[@rafamcm]

Le he puesto un puente tipo Gotoh 510T con selletas de acero y bloque sólido. Y con un juego de cuerdas más grueso. Ahora suena más gordota, jeje. El mástil es muy cómodo es delgado pero no tanto como el de algunas RG. Con el diapasón de jatoba se siente muy bien, la verdad.

Tuve que lijar un poco en la parte interna, en la cavidad, por donde no se ve. Las medidas son las mismas, pero al tener un bloque más grande, tuve que quitar un pelín de madera del hueco, para que el puente pueda bascular en los dos sentidos.

I'll upload a new video with some explanations and upgrades. ;)

[@timino8142]

does it have a tremolo or does it have a fixed bridge?

[@rafamcm]

It has a new 2 point tremolo.

[@timino8142]

Thanks!

[@johnivorrevelo]

rafamcm - hows the trem system or the guitar? Is it smooth, is it a good one? Thank you!

[@rafamcm]

It's not too bad, but I've change it. I've installed a brand new bridge with solid block, stainless steel saddles and a push pull tremolo arm. It's more stable and feels better.

[@johnivorrevelo]

rafamcm - Thank you so much for your response! :) I appreciate it!

A bit late to the party, but what's it like to play?!

[@a18g79]

En que pais esta construida?

[@rafamcm]

Made in China.

[@sandrosarunic9486]

How does it hold tuning?

[@rafamcm]

Not too bad, but with a good bridge it works perfect.

[@Vizzie87]

Great sound, it sounds like a mesa lonestar :)

[@rafamcm]

Thank you Ekrem. Eleven Racks is great. ;)

[@davidoterofernandez30101973]

Very good

[@rafamcm]

Thank you! ;)

[@tuckerlane7995]

Are the frets sharp at all?

[@rafamcm]

No, the work on the frets is perfect!

[@tuckerlane7995]

@@rafamcm thanks! Chinese production has really improved! Love the demo BTW, and it's a beautiful guitar.

[@rafamcm]

@@tuckerlane7995 I've got a Marco Sfogli Premium Signature Model (Made in Indonesia) and the work on the edges of the frets is worst than the SA (Made in China).

[@kavitayadav8761]

New finish looks ugly why did they ditch the sapphire blue
