The S1520FB is an S series solid body electric guitar model introduced by Ibanez in 1999. It is part of the high end Prestige line and one of the first S series Prestige models. It is sometimes listed as simply the S1520, but that model name refers more accurately to a related model without the exotic top.

The S1520FB features a figured bubinga top on a mahogany body bolted to a maple and bubinga Wizard Prestige neck with a 22-fret rosewood fingerboard with binding and single inlay at the 12th fret. Components include a pair of Ibanez Quantum humbucking pickups, a Lo-Pro Edge double locking tremolo bridge with a locking nut; and Gotoh tuning machines.

In 2001, a new inlay style was introduced for the S1520FB. For 2003, the model was replaced by the S1620FB featuring the new ZR tremolo.
