Sanvean

The Ergodyne series is a line of solid body electric guitar (and bass guitar) models produced by Hoshino Gakki under the Ibanez brand. It was introduced in 1997 and discontinued in 2006. The entire series was offered only in Europe, though some individual models were also sold in Asia & South America. The most notable feature of the Ergodyne models is the luthite body material, a synthetic material developed as a substitute for wood. All EDR models have a rounded body shape reminiscent of the the S series models or the Joe Satriani series. Late in the series run a model, the EXR170, was produced which eschewed luthite for wood but retained the Ergodyne shape.
