Ibanez LB1 Lari Basilio Signature – Black Finish, Gold Hardware
A Signature Model Designed for Expressive, Versatile Tone
The Ibanez LB1 is the first signature guitar created for Brazilian virtuoso Lari Basilio, an artist celebrated for her lyrical phrasing, flawless technique and seamlessly blended influences of rock, jazz and Brazilian musicality. Based on the premium AZS platform but refined with Lari’s personal preferences, the LB1 delivers exceptional clarity, dynamic response and stunning visual style, making it an outstanding choice for modern players seeking both versatility and refinement.
S-TECH Roasted Maple for Stability, Feel and Tone
With a one-piece S-TECH roasted Birdseye Maple neck, the LB1 offers exceptional stability, smooth playability and increased resistance to humidity and temperature shifts. The oil-finished Oval C profile provides a comfortable "played-in" feel, while the S-TECH roasted Maple fretboard adds crisp attack, rich sustain and a beautifully rounded edge for superior hand comfort.
Lari Basilio Signature Seymour Duncan Pickups
The LB1 features a custom S-S-H Seymour Duncan pickup set, each designed to deliver broad tonal range and expressive character. The neck pickup blends Alnico 5 and 4 for warmth and definition, the middle pickup uses a unique Alnico mix for added sparkle and versatility, and the bridge humbucker offers punchy Alnico 5 clarity suitable for cleans, crunch or high-gain tones. With the dyna-MIX9 switching system, players can access nine distinct voices, including convincing humbucker-style combinations from single coils.
Premium Hardware & Smooth, Responsive Tremolo
Gotoh Magnum Lock tuners with height-adjustable posts ensure impeccable tuning stability, while the Gotoh T1702B tremolo – with brass block and saddles – provides excellent resonance and articulate response. Luminlay side dots, gold hardware and a premium hardshell case complete the high-end package.
