Ibanez NDM3 Noodles Signature

Descrizione

In 2013, Noodles, guitarist of the '90s punk rock band The Offspring, released a Signature model again. This striking, yellow Ibanez NDM3 is based on a rare Ibanez Talman TV-model from the nineties, just like the NDM2. It has a similar, striking body with single cutaway and a pointy horn yet the difference is that this third Noodles-model has been equipped with two P90-style single-coil pickups. As a result, it produces a bright sound with extra bite so that you can perfectly cut through the mix.
Features of the Ibanez NDM3
Like many Ibanez guitars, the body of the NDM3 is made of basswood, a light type of wood that gives a defined sound with an excellent balance between bass, middle and trebles. The neck is made of three pieces of maple for more strength and stability, has a Noodles Signature shape and is covered with a 22-fret, rosewood fretboard. The Ibanez NDM3 is equipped with a fixed bridge with string-thru-body, which means the strings run through the back of the body for more attack and sustain.
Fat single-coil sound
The Ibanez NDM3 is armed with a set of P90-style 'soapbar' pickups which are actually single coils on steroids. They combine clarity, a sparkle and the bite of a single coil with the warmth, punch and output of a humbucker. In other words, the best of both worlds. With a 3-way switch you can choose between the bright sound of the bridge pickup, the deeper sounds of the neck pickup or a combination of the two for more 'twang'. The Ibanez NDM3 also has a volume control and a tone control for filtering the higher frequencies.
