S-Tech roasted maple neck for supreme playability

Josh Smith's musicality effortlessly drifts between blues, jazz, and, rock styles, and the Ibanez Josh Smith Signature FLATV1 supports it all. Inspired by the stout necks of '50s and '60s guitars, the FLATV1 features a Soft "V" neck profile that balances substance with ergonomic comfort. To complete the luxurious feel, its premium roasted maple fretboard — sonically enhanced with Ibanez's S-Tech roasting treatment — offers a smooth, refined feel thanks to expertly-curved fretboard edges.

Custom Seymour Duncan pickups deliver world-class tone

A leader in the realm of guitar pickups for decades, Seymour Duncans are a favorite among Irvine Art & Music guitarists across many styles. The Ibanez Josh Smith Signature FLATV1 is loaded with Josh's signature Seymour Duncan set, which combines a vintage-style neck pickup designed for increased output with a bridge pickup constructed with a mix of Alnico magnet types to support Josh Smith's unique musical voice.

Premium hardware for gig-ready reliability

Equipped with premium Gotoh hardware, the Ibanez Josh Smith Signature FLATV1 is primed for a lifetime of reliable performance. At the headstock, Gotoh machine heads provide impressive tuning precision and an ultra-smooth feel. The Gotoh F1803 bridge maximizes sustain and tuning stability.
