Ibanez originated in the year 1929. It started when Hoshino Gakki, a musical instrument company, began importing guitars from Spain. These guitars were named Salvador Ibanez, but the name was later shortened to what we know it as today.

Like the guitar itself, the company evolved over the years, introducing electric guitars in the 1950s and 1960s when the electric guitar rose to prominence.
