I’ve been playing Gibson’s my whole life, and I just bought my first Ibanez. I got the axion label cerulean blue burst multi scale guitar...and I’ll never go back to Gibson. I feel like I’ve been missing out. This guitar has unmatched tone for technical metal

[@kol1188]

YESSS FINALLY. I been waiting for like a month for Henning to review/play this Ibanez S. Im so happy rn. Thx Henning

[@The_Devils_11]

Thanks Henning for putting so much time and effort into the videos. Beautiful playing by the way.

[@davidlawson7786]

Just ordered one, haven’t received it yet, but after watching this, I’m like a kid at Christmas time lol Henning yes playing blues sounds amazing through all of your wonderful amps. Now I’m ordering a Revv G20 next. Thanks for making this video.

[@lndrldcold1762]

Bout time! (And I bought it already because I couldnt wait any longer and didnt wanna wait til the May shipment.) Henning knew everyone wanted this and made us wait. But as always, you delivered Henning.

[@anthrop7998]

Thanks for being one of the only people that did some justice to this model! I was able to snag it for $860 on sale brand new :)

[@gabbishleegifted4752]

This sounds way better than I thought it was going to. Since it was design for metal, figured it would be more harsh and or grimy but it has very clean sound. Those pickups are very interesting. Love the lows on this

[@pablo9364]

Very clever with your words and your playing. Talented beyond belief . Who needs hair

[@GatorBait_Studio]

This is great timing, Im looking at these hard thanks for the review!

[@pablo9364]

Did you get one?

[@Rob-qr2kn]

@Rick Duff, did you get it ? I purchased one from GC. Was the demo so it was $200 cheaper. Sweetwater has a demo also as well as new ones.

[@rohanjangam511]

Great video mate! Really hope to see the Ibanez JBM10FX (Jake Bowen signature) here soon.

[@ancientalien815]

I really like this guitar. Might have to buy one.

[@hoele2]

bought it... thanks... looking so great...will compliment my Roadcore

[@bearsound1667]

Got mine today, mine has a cool low gloss like you can see the wood paint job on it, plays amazingly, and the fishmans are super versatile

[@nightwishlover8913]

Beautiful Intro Jam!

[@redstripe41j]

That F# at :19 was clutch ;)... All in good fun bud Henning

[@zedski]

Finally, been waiting 2 months for this demo :D No volute is probably exactly because they try to avoid too much neck dive on this thing. I hope it wont be too bad when I get to play this thing.

[@Rose.Of.Hizaki]

Beautiful guitar and lovely playing :)

[@benjaminstacy9555]

Mine is going to be here today!!!! I found a used mint one for $750 shipped and I'm so excited this is everything I want in a guitar!

[@draganm7823]

Its nice to see Henning reviewing a "betterer" model guitar. The ultra thin body is awesome and so is the color and finsh! 🤟

[@anusrepairman]

will you be reviewing the Lhm1? Im looking forward to the guitar mainly for the guitar but the over all specs are basically this guitar.

[@astarothgr]

Finally! This was the most anticipated of them all! I'd have loved to see the 7 string version but hey, I'll take what I can get. The guitar seems sick!

[@jamespadgett2537]

THE CRINGIEST TIMECOP1983 FAN ON PLANET EARTH hey bud....? There is a 7 string version😂👍

[@bestboy897]

Pretty badass looking ibby

[@diegogc11]

"These last longer because of Mortal Kombat" loved this review LOL

[@bestboy897]

Pretty great playing

[@JorisGriffioen]

"Weird knob, why did they pick that knob" - having played the previous version of this guitar with that knob live a *lot* I have to say: it's awesome! Bigger radius like a Gibson knob so more precise but with the grip of strat/metal dome knobs.

[@xcr63]

great intro!

[@JuanLega]

That's a badass guitar.

[@user-ge6pn3ym2b]

Hi. Can we expect ibanez lhm1 review? Can't find even single one on youtube.

[@chrismosquad1056]

19:30 - Love that little riff. 😎

[@chrismosquad1056]

... and again at 26:54! 🔥

[@user-xt2gq9jy6c]

Probably getting one of these in september

[@Leo_ofRedKeep]

Love the Ibanez S series. I have several. This one sounds good too.

[@coyote1able]

Hey Henning have you tried the Hamstead 60RT amp. If so, what is your take on it. Im at a toss up between the Hamstead and the Revv Dynamis.

[@BrandochGarage]

Wonderful playing. :)

[@billybat5790]

i bought the ibanez s617ab and guitar center gave me this one by accident.. it was in the used section and a good deal but hopefully i can score a 50-75$ special discount if i decide to keep it the paint job slowly grows on you

[@Physiogott]

Good sound of the fishman; a compare with the EMG 81 - 60 would be interesting

[@donkarnage6032]

This video reminds me. I never see you play that JS1000 that you have. Please give it some love sometime soon. Mine needs a fret job.

[@george_charette]

Great! Now i want to buy a guitar.

[@craigharrison5406]

Ibanez S are the best feeling guitar out there IMO. Because the body is thin, the guitar sits closer and increases my reach on the fretboard.

[@liquid7315]

1:03 so sweet, that slide on g and skip onto high e string ( I think)

[@TheFreaker86]

Danke für das ausführliche Video! Hat mir echt geholfen bei der Entscheidungsfindung. Ich hab schon lange mit einem Ibanez-Metalbrett mit aktiven Pickups geliebäugelt. Doch die RG-Bodys sind mir zu klobig und Ibanez scheint leider die E-Gitarren mit S-Body immer zu vernachlässigen (warum nur? 🙁). Hab zum Glück noch eine S61AL als Retouren-Restposten bekommen, gibt es ja leider nicht mehr nagelneu. Bin sehr zufrieden mit der Gitarre 👍🏻 in diesem Sinne: MmMmeeeeeeTtaAaAaAaAaAaLLL !!!

[@kol1188]

Btw Henning, in the title says SA61, and its the S61AL. Good Review like always, lovely axe imo

[@jasonbone5121]

Title says SA61Axion Label - Axion Label is AL.

[@kol1188]

Jason Bone no, i know is axion label, thats not what i was saying the SA and S are kinda different, thats why. If someone search in yt S61AL or S61 Axion Label doesnt show up. I was just trying to help correct an easy mistake.

[@FachryZulfikar]

@@jasonbone5121 like what Kol said, SA and S is a different guitar.

[@dvance73]

What shirt is that with the cat

[@Sic20189]

Nice Review ;) Henning, I like your humor 😆 "You know why you can get this in an 8 sting? Cuz nobody needs 8 string!" zu geil 😆😂 I ordered one a 1 month ago. Pretty nice guitar, but mine has some green between the grey and white? Was this a special demonstartion model? This guitar is so light, when i unpacked it I first thought they forgot the Body :D I really like the ergonomics. The neck feels definetly thicker than on my RG prestige, but is really comfortable. Talking about the "volutes" (did I spell it right?). I think they only have on the thin necks, like the prestige (-2mm thick) or premium (-1mm thick) to strenghten the weakspot on the head agle. They probably just don't need it on the S61AL. By the way: The "1" in the model name usually stands for Fixed Bridge. The trems have a "0" ;)

[@Michael-jv2cn]

Beautiful playing on the intro Henning. Henning I tried changing my nut (yes I said that) on my cheap guitar, it was plastic. Now the nut I got is a little shorter in height. Why did I all of sudden think I was a Luthier? lol

[@tychormthorp]

Did you ever work it out? I need closure lol

[@Always_in_C_standard]

Ha, that guy at the begining. 'Hello? Henning's neighbour? Yes sure, I'll get him to tone his jumpers down'

[@MartinCliffe]

Nice looking guitar. Sounds surprisingly dark for a lightweight guitar without a tone control.

[@Leo_ofRedKeep]

Weight has no impact on sound.

[@adamlee011]

S's balance just fine on a strap. I can't play a guitar with neck dive and I play S's almost exclusively at the moment. You take a gibson with a much heavier body and the neck dives. Strap peg placement is more important than weight.

[@AdrianFarrell]

What about when playing sat down? I practice a lot in classical position with the guitar resting on my left knee.

[@YehspuhrTv]

I love the looks and specs of it.. but the prices are going up and I can't really justify buying an Axion label when I can get an ESP E-II for just a few hundred more.

[@bestboy897]

The prices are insane

[@TheJMan1K]

Agreed and even at over 1K it still has a plastic nut. However they can do all this other stuff?

[@AlbusBand]

“The sexual position, panga panga” 👏👏👏. Bravo sir. -Aaron

[@PooNinja]

2:55 ? Selector or looking for the bar I think you may have been under the fluentz 😂

[@lueysixty-six7300]

Love me some Rolling Stones! 😆 What's his face...Keith Richards is really making his Tele scream, eh..?! Lol.

[@richszmal1653]

Love how your outfit matches the guitar

[@XMetalChefX]

The neck on these is surprisingly thick but narrow lol.

[@florianbaiker5519]

This guitar as a RGA and I would be sold. The S-Series is just too thin and lightweight for me :(

[@MatheusFantoni16]

Lord Varys can play guitar?

[@verysillypenguin]

Damn sad I missed out on this nothing like this in the current line up

[@toelife2112]

Btw I really want one

[@liquid7315]

I'm seriously thinking of buying this , as I type this I am looking at one online close to me at a guitar shop .I am at least gonna go try it out tomorow, those pickups are interesting..they sound a bit unique, yet still sound like an ibanez when I close my eyes, slightly different, but tonally satisfying. I am excited. If like the way it feels ,more then likely I'm pulling the trigger and will be owning a new guitar. You know that feeling you get? When you see something and it just calls to you? I want that mortal kombated . P.s the active pickups... what kind of batteries and where do you buy them if specific ones, are the pickups rechargeable with a usb cable? Next day: Srry for the dumb questions. I know the aanswer now. I bought it a few hours ago, got a nice gator case for it too. It is awesome. P.s. it's now november 2021 and I bought it a long time ago :)

[@Senira322]

it sucks that the prestige versions with the fishmans only come with the voicing switch and no "coil tap" like the premium one. henning! please complain about it to that ibanez guy, Dan

[@BranoBoda]

It depends on type of fishman. Standard classics and moderns does not have very usable coil tap.

[@edwardtang1977]

Love this guitar. But no floyd rose on an Ibanez? Why!?

[@liquid7315]

Not all models come with it. I know, lol, when you see or think of ibanez you think of a floating floyd rose, it's just what an Ibanez is... but if you dont want one, and still want that nice action and smooth neck of an ibanez without wanting to dive bomb or flutter , now you have that option on some models.

[@Unchainedmaple888]

I just hate that the binding doesn't continue onto the headstock. My OCD hates it. Ibanez does the same thing on most of their j.customs where there's body and neck binding but no binding on the headstock 😒

[@Unchainedmaple888]

@Zerusu yes but the body still counts as having reveal binding about the width of single ply natural binding. However,they do not continue that single ply natural binding nor do they do a natural reveal binding on the headstock and I wish they would for the sake of my OCD and continuity. Same with this axion label S, even it's predecessor from the iron label (which was pretty much the same guitar) had headstock binding, really not sure why this one doesn't have headstock binding.

[@Unchainedmaple888]

@Zerusu I dunno I've also scoured through many many photos of j.customs on Ikebe Gakki, I've only seen one or two special spot models that have headstock binding.

[@Unchainedmaple888]

@Zerusu also, what model is it? I'll give it a quick Google.

[@Unchainedmaple888]

@Zerusu yeah I noticed that, but if you can't see it from the top, is it really binding, idk if they'd make the masking tape just a few mm thicker that'd be great lol

[@shawngoodwin2370]

Horrible location for a mini toggle coil tap switch!! :(

[@bruceoort]

5:14 LOL!!! "Oh look it's even got a little compartment for your drugs- nooo battery, damnit" XD

[@jamesyellow3786]

Wow, sexy. Schade dass du nicht die Dean Dave Mustaine Angel Of Deth Gitarre testen kannst. Vielleicht von Thomann bestellen und zurück schicken, wharscheinlich zu viel verlangt. Könnte ich auch selber machen, aber ich habe keine richtige Erfahrung ob eine Gitarre das Geld wert ist bzw. ob sie wirklich gut. Ps. 28:26 Lamb Of Gods Walk with me in Hell? ....Grüße aus der Nähe Stuttgart ✌️

[@TheSolfilm]

So this guitar is "nein, nein, nein !!!" ?

[@fs7572]

... it would´nt be "Top-heavy" with the right tremolo and it´s great Steel block... :-) No "S" should be without.... just saying...

[@MarkLePage]

[@mandanglelow1442]

Not everyone wants or needs a whammy bar on the guitar.

[@shaunaweisman1119]

Would people complain about top heavy gurls? Not me, I will play them either way..Woohooo!. I luv this guitar! Send me one please so I can make a video review with some top heavy gurls and I will sell a shiet load!. Lets so this!

So many gud guitars these days...but who's buying them? Kids today are so lazy and has no idea wut gud music is. They rather play Guitar on Xbox listen to today's crap music. BTW, that jack is in the most annoying place! The light weight is gud for playing behind the head and throwing around your body...
