From Ibanez,

“Without a doubt, your instrument should reflect the dedication you place in your musicianship and creative endeavors. At a certain point, the word “boutique” comes to mind: Select-grade materials, neck-thru construction, and top quality components, all in a meticulously combined into a stunning pro-level instrument. But what about the upfront investment of such an instrument? That’s where Ibanez comes in. Our ability to build small-shop quality, into inspiring yet affordable instruments, is showcased in droves with BTB series basses.”
