DarKsTone - ibaNez


New for 2009, the DN is a solid rock n' roll powerhouse. It features a new design and sound unlike any other Ibanez guitar. The new Tight-Tune Bridge is sturdy and resonant, and the new tailpiece is equipped with the Ball-End Stopper. The new humbuckers have a quick response with rich harmonics, and the new single coils are fat and powerful when compared with traditional single coils. The Darkstone is better known as the DN500 and shares some of the styling of the FR1260, a Telecaster inspired guitar featuring Ibanez’s Tight-End bridge. Each saddle is locked into the base plate, and the bridge is anchored by stud bolts into the body of the guitar. Furthermore, the studs are also locked onto the base plate so that the maximum vibration from the string is transferred to the body. Ibanez say that the guitar features a solid, rich and resonant heavy tone due to the Sapele body and set neck. The tone pot doubles as a coil split switch when pulled into the up position to increase the tonal variations from the 3 way selector.

Personally I prefer the FR1620 to the DN500, it has a much classier body shape and, having played it, and incredibly thick and powerful tone and a great Wizard Maple neck with a Walnut fingerboard. The DN500 has a strange cutout where the rear strap button is situated which makes it look a bit BC Rich or something and I don’t really like the inlays so much, but that is just my opinion.
