Well guys Claudio Passamani here!!!
I know you guys missed me... Brazilian Ibanez Official Artist...
Its been a while i dont posted anything..
and this is one the first 2014 news...
to show you guys an amazing guitar!!!
in a different vibe that i you use to see me playing ...
I'm talking abou the Ibanez DARKSTONE series...
here it is..
DN520K...
If you like a guitar in a more "lespaul" oriented way..
more traditional guitars..
let me tell you... its a machine!!!
you will love the sound of this one..
its a setneck (glued neck) Guitar...
in the good way of lespaul style guitars...
The neck and body are made of SAPELE...
wich is a very dense wood, similar to the mahogany...
wich gives it a more lespaul like sound...
that are builted in mahogany
what a liked most in this guitar...
despites it consverve all traditional mood of a lespaul style guitar..
it has what i call the " Ibanez factor"
wich means its more ergonomic..
has more neck comfort..
the last frets acess wich is hard in lespaul guitars is easier...
I dont need to talk about design and beauty..
the guitar sepaks for itself..
as you can see in the pic i'm showing now..
and the guitar itself on video, against the light
this one is the Darsktone 520k..
in the color Dark Knight Violet
its important to point tha exists a whole Darkstone family in Ibanez...
starting in the DN300 which is in mahogany...
then the DN500 with mother of pearl binding and special bridge...
to the DN520K , which is the one im holding now...
and for last the DN600 with a diferent top and inlays
well
This guitar as i said has a set neck construction
has this special fretboard inlay very beautiful
the whole body and neck is painted in this violet/purple pattern
the special desing is wonderful.. a unique shape..
i found the place that they putted the 3 way switch perfect...
more ergonomic than the traditional lespaul ones...
so.. its a killer machine!
and.. another cool ibanez feature..
a bridge inspired in a tune'omatic traditional brigdes
but with more precision and setting options..
as heigh in 3 spots and a saddle lock...
and a height setting in the tailpiece
it has IBZ pickups builted specially for DN Series
wich are mid output pickups wich give a classic mood to the guitar
but allow you to travel from vintage rock to heavy metal sounds
and of course with a push/pull coil split
raising the sound possibilites more yet..
the tunning pegs are in the cosmo black pattern...
has this beautiful amazing mother of pearl body and neck binding...
exclusive body shape with back contour...
giving the guitar more playability and comfort.
so a guitar that will pleasure Lespaul fans
wich love classic rock guitars as well as metal players
hope you enjoy.. lets go to the samples that are the reason we are here...
well guys.. hope you like this machine!!!
