The grand final, of our Ibanez Guitar Icon competition is here! The submissions level we've received in round 1 was insane, the talent we witnessed was a sight to behold and we can agree that the future of the guitar is looking exceptionally bright here in the UK!
It was no easy task to pick just six guitarists but the Ibanez team have successfully chosen the shredders who ticked all the boxes and beyond. If you were one of them, you will have been notified about your successful application by now and invited to perform in front of the judges at the grand final taking place at guitarguitar Epsom on the 10th of July!
