Ibanez MGFM10-OBL (Obsidian Black Low Gloss) [Manuel Gardner Fernandes Model]
Manuel Gardner Fernandes Signature Model
Manuel Gardner Fernandes Signature Model, an up-and-coming guitarist from Germany
◆Ergonomic body design
The guitar features contours and cuts throughout to suit a variety of playing styles.
The complex yet sophisticated design promises the best playability.
◆Compact and light-weight, yet resonant body
Despite being a solid body, it is surprisingly light and compact.
However, it does not lose its full, warm, woody tone.
◆Quilted Maple top Nyatoh body
The body material is Nyatoh wood, which has excellent full mid-low range characteristics.
The body top and body sides/back are painted in different colors, and a low gloss finish is applied to create a luxurious feel.
This is a body color finish that Manuel is particular about, wanting to create a classic yet modern atmosphere.
◆Parallel Wizard 3pc Roasted Maple/Bubinga neck
The Parallel Wizard neck has a uniform neck thickness of 19mm throughout the entire length.
This provides surprisingly easy fingering playability for players who hold the guitar at a high position.
The 3pc structure of roasted maple and bubinga also provides excellent stability and durability.
◆Slanted frets
All frets are evenly slanted at an 8 degree angle. Many modern players tend to hold their guitars at a high position to play advanced and complex techniques such as tapping, fingerstyle, and slap playing. When held at a high position like this, the four fingers that press the strings naturally tilt inward little by little. The frets can be slanted to fit this, allowing you to play with a more natural feel.
Manuel also likes this point.
◆"Q58" H-H pickups
The H-H arrangement of the humbucker pickup "Q58" developed for the Q. It is designed to have a well-balanced sound across the entire frequency range, making it easy to create sounds with effects. The low range is powerful and clear, while the high range is clear but mellow. It is also low-noise and works well with both digital and analog effects.
The Q series is the first to feature a gold-colored metal cover, giving it a glamorous impression.
The gold-colored anodized pickguard creates a sense of unity.
◆dyna-MIX10 switching system with Alter Switch
With a single flip of the mini switch, you can freely switch between humbucker mode and single-coil mode, allowing you to play 10 different sound variations.
In power tap mode, one coil is tapped and special wiring is used to make use of the low range of the other coil, resulting in a clear high range and a thick, well-defined sound that cannot be obtained with a simple tap.
This switching system is ideal for modern guitar players who have to play multiple roles with limited equipment.
◆Custom string lock
The Custom string lock developed by Ibanez has a simple one-piece structure.
It is durable and easy to replace strings. You can also use your favorite gauge or brand of strings without needing special strings.
The first gold-colored parts in the Q series give it a glamorous impression.
◆Mono-Tune bridges
The intonation can be adjusted to a wide range, making it easy to set one-tone down tuning or more down tuning. It is also easy to adjust the string height. The number of parts that make up the saddle is minimized to achieve a natural sound that allows the sound of the guitar body to live.
The first gold-colored parts in the Q series give it a glamorous impression.

[Manuel Gardner Fernandes]
German guitarist.
He started playing guitar at the age of three, and by combining various musical genres while being mainly influenced by metal bands, he established his own playing style based on percussive techniques such as dead notes and hard strumming.
Along with his interest in a wide range of music, his passion for guitar continued after he entered university, and he explored many musical genres such as soul, country, funk, jazz, and fusion while being inspired by famous guitarists such as Mateus Asato, Guthrie Govan, David Gilmour, and Allan Holdsworth.
Currently, he is an up-and-coming guitarist who will lead the next generation, actively working with the progressive metal band "UNPROCESSED" and through his own SNS activities.
