High-Output Precision with a Fast, Controlled Playing Feel
The Ibanez JBBM40 is built for players who need tight response, consistency, and authority across extended-range riffs and complex lead work. The okoume body produces a focused, bright core tone that stays defined under high gain, while the three-piece maple and bubinga neck adds stiffness and sustain, keeping note attack even across all 24 frets.
An ebony fretboard with jumbo frets supports fast articulation and clean note separation, particularly for single-note passages and wide interval playing. The 25.5 inch scale length maintains string tension for down-tuned setups, reinforced by the Gibraltar Standard III bridge, which delivers a solid, planted feel under the picking hand. EMG 85 and 81 active humbuckers provide a clear contrast between the neck and bridge positions, balancing fullness and midrange detail with sharp attack and cut. Locking machine heads keep tuning stable through aggressive playing and quick string changes.
At Riffs & Licks Music, we think the JBBM40 is best suited to players who want a precise, modern metal guitar that stays tight, controlled, and consistent under heavy tuning and high-output playing.
