Similarity
citedBlended from circuit-archetype lineage, dynamic feel, tone-signal overlap and tone-vector distance — the tone vector itself is derived from editorial description text, not a measured acoustic signal, so this reflects how similarly the catalog copy describes the two, not a lab measurement. Shown only within a gear class, and only where there's enough evidence to be meaningful.

Description

The Ibanez SLM10 is Scott LePage's signature AZ series electric guitar, introduced in 2019. The guitar features a quilted maple top over American basswood body bolted to a one-piece roasted maple neck with roasted maple fingerboard and 22 stainless steel frets. The 25.5 inch scale length and 42mm nut width provide a comfortable, modern playing platform. A custom DiMarzio IGNO humbucker bridges with DiMarzio True Velvet single-coils in the neck and middle positions, enabling excellent sustain and flexible tonal range from clean to crunchy tones. The five-way pickup selector switch accesses at least five distinct pickup combinations with a T1502 synchronized tremolo and Graph Tech TUSQ nut.

The Yamaha SG-175 comes from the 1970s SG line that preceded the neck-through SG2000, using a bolt-on neck rather than the through-body construction and brass sustain block that later defined the range. A double-cutaway body with two humbuckers and 22 frets puts it closer in concept to a Gibson SG than the heavier, longer-sustaining instruments Yamaha built after it.
