Ibanez LM1LWH

The Ibanez LM1LWH: demonstrating the capabilities of the AZ line when Seymour Duncan sets the tone

The Ibanez LM1LWH is the signature guitar of Italian guitarist Luca Mantovanelli and one of the most thoughtfully constructed instruments in the AZ series. With a white finish and a direct, dynamic character, this guitar showcases what's possible when Ibanez's premium build is combined with three custom-selected Seymour Duncan Fortuna single coils.

The three Seymour Duncan Fortuna (S) pickups are passive and built around Alnico magnets, providing a warm, layered sound with definition in the high register and body in the mids. The compound radius from 228 to 305mm makes the transition from strumming chords to soloing smoother than on a conventional guitar. Light touch for staccato leads, deep press for wide bends – the LM1LWH follows effortlessly.

The body is crafted from alder, and the neck from roasted maple using Ibanez's CS-TECH WOOD treatment for extra stability and a dry, fast playing feel. The rosewood fretboard features abalone dot inlays and 22 jumbo stainless steel frets with Prestige fret edge treatment. The Gotoh T1702B bridge, bone nut, and chrome hardware complete an instrument meticulously designed down to the last detail. Scale length is 648mm / 25.5".

For the guitarist who consciously prioritizes feel, detail, and character over specification lists, the Ibanez LM1LWH is an instrument that proves its worth every time you pick it up.
