At first Ibanez guitars to make a duplicate of America's design. In the first model models including 2364, is a duplication of the model of the famous Ampeg Dan Armstrong guitar made of clear plastic. Ibanez guitar model 2347 is a duplicate of the 2351 model is very similar to Gibson Les Paul model, and model 2348 is an almost perfect duplicate of a model of non-reverse Firebird Gibson. Copy the successful model variants created by Ibanez guitars with this excellent almost be equated with the original model, and this makes the company to sue Gibson guitar Ibanez guitar company would breach copyright in 1977. But strangely, the lawsuit is not aimed at the body of the guitar Ibanez design similar to the Gibson guitar design, but intended for the design of the headstock of the guitar Ibanez and then resolved in court in 1978. This spurred the company to introduce ibanes guitar guitar Ibanez's own design.
Some of that design is "the destroyer", the design of this model is similar to a Gibson guitar designs exlporer with the addition of Ibanez's classic shape and pointed headstock. Model "the artist" uses a more traditional form with two short cutaways with the same magnitude and changes in the headstock to avoid copyright problems. Model "the rocket roll" is a duplication of the Gibson Flying V guitar models, but Ibanez use the "pointed headstock" and without "scratchplate". The model of "The Iceman" has a unique design model and unusual. By using the model of Gibson Explorer with "cut-down-left-hand side, a unique notch in the base and a large cutaway on the right hand horn that allows access to higher frets. At first model "the destroyer" is available with two or three humbucking pickups, the model "the artist" only with two humbucking pickups, and "The Iceman" with two Ibanez humbuckers or pickup design with 3 coils. Model "The Iceman" and model "the artist" was still in the ranks of Ibanez guitars and even until 2008.

The company is a pioneer and chief exponent of "the superstart", a model that is still popular until today. model "superstart" is the Fender model Stratocasater but are specifically designed for heavy-metal guitarist. At that time, tidah only Ibanez guitars are developing this model. Several other companies such as Jackson and Chavel also contribute.

This model also has a 24-fret, Floyd Rose tremolo system and three pickups.
The main line of "superstrat" on the guitar Ibanez is a model "RG". This guitar was first introduced in 1985 and then united by "the saber 'with a relatively similar form but with a less pointed horns, and a slim body design that may even be a guitar thinnest ever produced. In the late 1980s, Ibanez collaborated with talented guitarist Steve Vai who previously had joined Whitesnake, David Lee Roth's solo band, and his own Solo. Steve Vai has lost his favorite custom guitar "Chavel Guitar" which was stolen. So he needs a new guitar.
