Description

Ibanez built the PS120BK as part of the PS Signature Series line, a range designed around a signature artist specification. The model was finished in Black, as denoted by the BK suffix, and sat within Ibanez's signature electric guitar catalogue.

Construction centred on an Okoume body with a Maple top and a three-piece Okoume set-in neck featuring a smooth heel joint. The bound Ebony fretboard carried Acrylic and Abalone block inlays across 22 medium frets, with a 305mm radius and a 628mm (24.7") scale length. Nut width measured 43mm, widening to 57mm at the 22nd fret, with neck thickness running 20mm at the first fret and 23.5mm at the twelfth. A Bone nut fed string tension to a Gibraltar Performer bridge and Quik Change III tailpiece, both finished in Chrome hardware, with 10.5mm string spacing. Electronics comprised a Seymour Duncan '59 Model humbucker at the neck and a Seymour Duncan Custom 5 humbucker at the bridge, both passive Alnico units. The guitar left the factory strung with D'Addario EXL110s (.010–.046) in standard E tuning.

Owners seeking replacement parts — including compatible bridge saddles, Quik Change III tailpiece components, or Seymour Duncan pickup rings to fit the existing routing — should consult a qualified luthier or guitar technician who can verify fit against the original hardware dimensions.

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.

The catalog shot showed one finish, under one light, a long time ago. Yours has been played. Photos from owners are what the next person finds when they are trying to identify a part, match a finish, or work out whether the one they just bought is really what the seller said it was.

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.
