@TheCollisionofworlds Actually, Ibanez is a Spanish derivative of someone's name. In any dialect of Hispanic language, "I" is pronounced "E" So people just say it wrong most of the time.
@Radhazardman It's not supposed to sound spanish lol. Go look up Ibanez's official channel and watch the videos. Even Steve Vai says it like "eye-buh-nez"
@xHighPotencyx That is only because it is Japanese owned. The original guitars were built in Spain by Salvador Ibáñez and a Japanese company ordered them from him. The factory was destroyed in the Spanish Civil War and sold its name to the company. Thus, the Japanese pronounced it as "Aibanizu" and you are correct in that amount. But the fact still remains that the brand should still be Ibanez, pronounced with Spanish dialect, considering its original make :]
@Radhazardman Everybody in the world pronounces Nikon cameras N'eye'con, but Mr. Nikon is actually pronounced 'kneecon' , but who cares, Nikon it is and as is 'eye'banez. At this point, it's not worth trying to correct the norm, besides 'eye'banez sounds better than eeebanez.
@weseyedwalk It obviously sounds better to us English-speaking people. It isn't worth correcting, because it wouldn't catch on at this point. But, if someone is attempting to refute literal knowledge with popular culture, it is worth pointing out the history of it. I stand corrected proudly, when worthy of it, and welcome all information as a collective, cognitive knowledge base. So, I was only explaining for the use of future knowledge, rather than an attempt to be a bother.
ibanez its said "eye-banez"
