The 2026 Ibanez Guitars Are Here! So, What's New?

In this video, we discover the 2026 Ibanez guitar range with Tom Pankhurst as Ben takes you through the freshest updates across the Alpha, AZ, RG, RGD, AR, S Series and hollow bodies, all in one proper hands-on rundown.

At Gear4music, we’re diving into what’s new for 2026, from the seriously modern Alpha multiscales to AZ versatility with Dynamix switching, titanium saddles on Prestige models, and the return of rosewood across key RG releases.

You’ll also hear why RGD models are still the go-to choice for down-tuning clarity, what makes the AR Artist Series such a switchable tone machine, how the wafer-thin S Series keeps things punchy and articulate, and why Ibanez hollow bodies are way more slept-on than they deserve to be, especially with that baritone jazz flavour and some gorgeous vintage-inspired details.

Have you got a favourite from the 2026 lineup, or is there something you wish Ibanez had released this year? Let us know what you think in the comments, and don’t forget to subscribe for more new gear demos and deep dives.
