The following is a comprehensive list of finishes that Ibanez uses or has used for guitar models, including all acronyms used to identify the finishes in catalogs. This list contains finishes used by Ibanez since the 70s and also includes finishes used for bass guitar and acoustic guitar models. In some cases multiple acronyms are used for the same color, such as YE, YL and YW for 'Yellow'. For now it remains uncertain whether these finishes are truly unique.
