Ibanez Guitars - A Short History Of A Company With A Long History If you wanted a total history of Ibanez you'd have go back to 1908 when a company named Hoshino began as a sheet music store and later music products distributor in Nagoya Japan.

But by that time it didn't matter"Ibanez had already left the copies behind and was fast becoming an innovative guitar company in its own right. By the mid-80's with the interest in instrumental rock guitar on the rise, Ibanez collaborated with players such as Steve Vai, Joe Satriani and Paul Gilbert and brought out the JEM, JS, RG and S models.
