About Ibanez S Guitars
The Ibanez Saber (S) series was introduced in 1987 along with the RG series. At the time it was introduced, it was known for its sleek, contoured mahogany body that conformed perfectly to the torso, as well as a fast, unfinished maple neck that was the slimmest on the market at the time (17mm at the first fret).These first models used an "HSS" pickup configuration with an IBZ/USA humbucker at the bridge, and IBZ/USA hum-canceling single coils in the neck and middle positions or "HH" with humbuckers at both neck and bridge spots. Originally the pickups were selected via individual mini switches, but at some point in the 1988 model year Ibanez replaced them with a five-positions blade switch. Like many Ibanez guitars of this era, the Sabers were equipped with a double locking Edge Tremolo System, licensed under Floyd Rose patents. To help keep the guitar in tune after a string breaks, the guitar also has a "Stud-Lock Backstop" in the spring cavity which limits the range of the bridge.
