The are many Ibanez Xiphos fans out there & they are not too keen with having a dual action whammy in this guitar. I used to own an XP300 which I gave up because I found out that a subsequent model would be released which promises a fixed bridge as well but it didn't appear (in the manufacturer's catalog) until now. The XP500 here is that model, featuring a Gibraltar Standard fixed bridge & a pair of DiMarzio D' Activator humbuckers- my kinda guitar.
