The S1070PBZ is part of Ibanez's S series, known for a thin, contoured body noticeably lighter and slimmer than an RG, popular with players who want a fast trem-equipped guitar without the RG's bulk. The exact double-locking trem model fitted hasn't been confirmed, so a trem swap needs that confirmation first. The panga panga fretboard and neck are less common tonewoods worth noting for anyone comparing feel across the S range.

Watch out

The exact double-locking tremolo fitted to this guitar has not been confirmed. Ibanez use several genuinely different systems across the S and RG ranges, including the Edge, Lo-Pro Edge, Edge Pro and Edge Zero families, and their cavity routing and stud spacing are not interchangeable. Identify the exact system on your own guitar before buying any replacement bridge or tremolo part for it.

Why we say this

DiMarzio Area Strat Pickup Set

Needs verification

Soldering

This guitar's other options are both for the humbucker positions. This is a middle-position single-coil option, likely fit based on typical sizing for this pickup layout, worth confirming before buying.

Why we say this

This guitar's two existing pickup options both cover the bridge and neck humbucker positions. This is a standard Strat-sized stacked single-coil, likely fit for the middle position based on typical Ibanez HSH middle-pickup sizing, but not independently confirmed against this specific model's middle route.

Tuner

5 options

Gotoh SG381 Locking Tuners (Magnum Lock-Trad), 6-in-line

Likely drop-in

Matches the tuner holes already on this guitar. A straightforward upgrade, no drilling needed.

Why we say this

Matches the confirmed 10mm bore used on this guitar's Edge Zero II-equipped headstock, and this guitar already ships with Gotoh MG-T locking tuners in the same family.

Graph Tech Ratio Machine Heads (6-in-line, Staggered)

Needs verification

Hipshot Grip-Lock Enclosed Locking Tuners, 10mm post (6-in-line, Staggered)

Needs verification

Hole size should match, but this guitar has a pointed reverse headstock where aftermarket tuner screw holes sometimes do not line up with the factory ones. Worth checking before ordering.

Why we say this

Ibanez pointed reverse headstock. Owner reports on this headstock style describe aftermarket tuner screw holes not lining up with factory pilot holes even when post diameter matches.
