I am entranced by this young man's playing. I also find him refreshingly humble for a guitarist. In the piece he performs for this guitar, when he plays the two chords 3 octaves apart the voicing is just soooo clear in both positions. You know this guitar is something special.

[@BigPhi84]

Wow, I am delighted that Ichika is the very first Japanese Signature Artist ever for Ibanez! His unique style on the guitar immediately catches my ear every time I hear him play, and I cannot think of anyone more deserving of that honor. Sure, he has a virtuosic level of ability on the guitar, but the way he uses his complicated technique always adds more texture, color, and layers to his compositions. I never feel like I'm listening to a Guitar Center "Wank-Off" competition, and that is the sign of a true artist, in my opinion... Musical Taste... The ability to know when to sheath your sword and when to go in with guns full-blazing (sorry to mix analogies)! I'm looking forward to trying this signature guitar out one day. Keep up the great work, Ichika and Ibanez both! 👍🏼👍🏼

[@spanneng]

My personal take on this: Ibanez is very picky for selecting the signature artist from Japan. I think they have made a great move with this. They can be proud that, I think, no one else can mistook Ichika for someone else.

[@robertgtm]

Ibanez couldn’t have had a better first Japanese signature artist and it makes the wait worth it, Ichika had to exist first before they could do it.

Great video Ibanez. Ichika is a highly talented and innovative artist with a humble personality and good attitude. His technique and tone are Olympic level and he is definitely most deserving of his own guitar model. His futuristic approach and command of the instrument make him the perfect guitar ambassador for Japan. I enjoyed hearing him tell his story about how Ibanez discovered him and sought him out to be a signature artist and also hearing him talk about working on developing a new guitar model together. Ichika's design choices are aesthetically amazing and he definitely specified some nice modifications and improvements to the already excellent Quest series headless guitars. I look forward to seeing where he takes his signature model headless guitar next.
