Ibanez S521 in Matte Oil Lacquer, (Used)

The Ibanez S521 MOL is an electric guitar from the S series, designed for fast playability and versatile performance. Its body is crafted from mahogany, providing a warm and resonant tonal foundation, and features a contoured design that allows comfortable access to the upper frets. The natural MOL (Matte Oil Lacquer) finish highlights the wood grain while offering a smooth, tactile surface. The set-in maple neck with a roasted maple fingerboard provides stability and a fast “C”-shaped profile, supporting precise fretting and fluid soloing across all 24 jumbo frets.

The guitar is equipped with two Ibanez INF1 and INF2 humbucking pickups, one in the bridge position and one in the neck, delivering a wide tonal range from tight, aggressive leads to warm, rounded rhythms. Its five-way pickup selector and master volume/tone controls allow for detailed tonal shaping, giving players flexibility across multiple musical styles. The fixed bridge provides stable tuning and solid sustain, while the overall setup ensures clarity and articulation even under high-gain conditions.

Hardware and design elements include die-cast tuners, a recessed output jack, and a slim contoured body for ergonomic comfort. The S521 MOL’s lightweight construction and balanced design make it suitable for extended playing sessions and stage performance. The Ibanez S521 MOL combines fast, responsive playability with versatile electronics and a sleek, modern aesthetic, offering a reliable instrument for both lead and rhythm applications.
