Description

Ibanez built the SR305EIPT as a five-string entry point in the SR (Soundgear) Series, positioning it for players who required extended low-end range within the SR line's characteristically slim, fast-playing profile. The SR Series was long associated with lightweight, contoured bodies and thin neck profiles aimed at players who found conventional bass necks unwieldy.

The SR305EIPT was constructed with a Nyatoh body and a five-piece Maple/Walnut SR5 neck, the laminated construction contributing to rigidity across the longer string span. The Jatoba fretboard carried white dot inlays and medium frets, with a 305mm radius and a nut width of 45mm widening to 68mm at the 24th fret — dimensions relevant when sourcing a replacement nut or evaluating string spacing compatibility. The 16.5mm string spacing at the bridge is a narrower-than-standard figure that governs aftermarket bridge selection. Hardware throughout was finished in Cosmo black. Pickups were a matched pair of passive PowerSpan Dual Coil units at neck and bridge positions, fed into an Ibanez Custom Electronics 3-band EQ equipped with a 3-way Power Tap switch, giving passive pickup configurations selectable on-board. The Accu-cast B125 bridge and 34-inch / 864mm scale complete the primary build details on record.

Owners sourcing replacement parts — particularly the nut, bridge saddles, or strings suited to the 16.5mm spacing — should confirm measurements against these specifications and consult a qualified guitar technician or luthier for installation and setup work.

Nothing in The Vault is for sale. These records exist so the instruments stay documented after the manufacturer moves on — and the most useful part of that record is what owners add to it.

Specs only go so far. What actually fits, what breaks first, what the factory got right and what everyone ends up changing — that lives with the people who own them, not in a datasheet. Post what you know and it stays on this page for whoever comes looking next.
