Expertly crafted in Japan, this 2022 Ibanez FLATV1 Josh Smith Signature in sleek Black is a premium, high-performance take on the traditional T-style electric guitar. Built with a solid, non-contoured ash slab body and a robust four-bolt metal neck plate, it combines vintage aesthetics with modern stability. The centerpiece of its exceptional playability is a one-piece S-TECH WOOD roasted maple neck and fretboard, which features a comfortable "Soft V" profile and smoothly curved edges for effortless navigation across the 21 medium frets.
For tone, this instrument relies on a custom-voiced Seymour Duncan FLAT5 single-coil pickup in the neck position, and a professionally installed Seymour Duncan Custom Shop Bonamassa Bludgeon Bridge Pickup with Antiquity Aging, meticulously engineered to deliver fat, responsive blues-rock bite. Complete with high-end hardware, including a Gotoh F1803 fixed bridge with titanium "In-Tune" saddles for precise intonation, vintage-style Gotoh machine heads, and low-light Luminlay side dots, the FLATV1 stands as a masterclass in luxurious, gig-ready utilitarian design.
