The Ibanez DN500 Darkstone was made in China. It was produced between 2009 and 2011. Its a solid-body electric guitar designed to set a new standard in heavy metal rock instruments. Crafted with a sapele body and a set-in sapele neck, this guitar offers a robust and resonant tonal foundation. The 22-fret rosewood fingerboard, adorned with distinctive block inlays and bound edges, ensures smooth playability and a classic aesthetic.
Equipped with dual Ibanez humbucking pickups, the DN500 delivers powerful, clean sound suitable for a variety of musical styles. The Tight-Tune bridge and tailpiece are designed to lock down securely, preventing any movement and ensuring maximum string vibration transfer to the body, which enhances sustain and tuning stability.
Additional features include a 24.75″ scale length, medium frets, and a 3-way toggle pickup selector with a push-pull coil split on the tone control, offering a range of tonal possibilities from thick humbucker tones to sharper single-coil sounds.
The DN500, maintained in good condition with all original components and only minor scratches, continues to embody the quality and performance that Ibanez’s Darkstone series is known for.
