The Future of Shred Has Landed at Guitarlicious
The Ibanez 2026 Malaysia shipment is officially in the building! For 2026, Ibanez has embraced the concept of "Tanren"—a Japanese philosophy of refinement through a dedicated forging process. This has resulted in the most innovative electric guitar drop in years.
Current Status (Updated 13/1/2026): We have just added the products on our online store, links are provided at the end of this page! These 2026 models are also physically available in our shop now!

Highlight Models: Alpha A527 (7-String) and Alpha A528 (8-String).
Key Features: 3D ergonomic body carves, "Parallel Wizard AS" neck, and a unique three-screw neck joint for unparalleled upper-fret access.
Best For: Progressive metal, djent, and technical players who want the comfort of a "Strandberg-style" ergonomic design with Ibanez’s legendary speed.
2. Ibanez Prestige 2026: The Japanese Standard
Made in Japan, the Ibanez Prestige 2026 line celebrates 30 years of elite craftsmanship. These are professional-grade "workhorse" guitars designed for those who demand zero compromises.
Highlight Models: AZ2204AG (Tri-Fade Burst), AZ2402 (Roadster Orange Metallic), and the ultra-slim S6670SK.
Key Features: S-TECH Roasted Maple necks, Stainless Steel frets, and Seymour Duncan Hyperion pickups with dyna-MIX switching.

3. The Return of the Xiphos: Iron Label Aggression
Metal fans have been asking, and Ibanez delivered. The Xiphos XPT420DX is back in a stunning Rose Gold Chameleon finish that shifts colors under stage lights.
Key Features: Neck-through construction for massive sustain, Edge-Zero II tremolo for dive-bombs, and high-output Quantum humbuckers.
Best For: Extreme metal players and stage performers who want a radical look with the "truckloads of sustain" only a neck-through guitar provides.
4. AZ Standard & RGD: High Performance for Every Player
The 2026 Standard series brings "boutique" features down to a more accessible Ibanez 2026 price in Malaysia.
Highlight Models: AZ24S2-BK (Standard AZ) and the RGD621AH (Midnight Shade Fade).
Key Features: The RGD features an extended 26.5” scale length, making it perfect for drop-tunings without the strings feeling "floppy."
